Description
- "It’s time to raise the stakes higher than ever before. You’ve broken a convicted spy out of Bolingbroke Penitentiary. You’ve saved the world from an egomaniacal tech billionaire. And you’ve beaten the odds to drain a casino of its cash. This time, you’re taking on an entire island."
- ―Rockstar Newswire.[1]
The first hint of this DLC came on the November 12th as a mysterious text message from Tom Connors and the addition of construction props by a service door on the north side of The Diamond Casino & Resort.[2] The next week, on November 19th, a teaser was uploaded on the Rockstar Games twitter account[3] and a dead, mutilated body with a briefcase appeared at random locations along the shoreline of Vespucci Beach. The next day, Rockstar released a teaser trailer on the Newswire along with the official title of the upcoming DLC and various information about its content. On December 5th, Rockstar announced through the Newswire the future opening of a new venue located under The Diamond Casino and Resort: The Music Locker.[4] After four days, on December 9th Rockstar released an additional newswire post alongside a new trailer.[5] One day later, on December 10th Rockstar released another newswire post, which stated that the Cayo Perico Heist DLC was the biggest musical update since launch, and that it will include three new radio stations (Still Slipping Los Santos, Kult FM 99.1 and Music Locker Radio), and new remixes for two existing stations (FlyLo FM and WorldWide FM).[6] The update was eventually released on December 15th.[7]
Content
- "Plus you can acquire new vehicles and tactical weapons, experience new social spaces to dance and party in with your friends, and new world-class guest DJs, and listen to new radio stations with over 100 new songs. Oh, and a very large, very versatile, and very heavily armed submarine HQ with plenty of other surprises."
- ―Rockstar Newswire
Locations
A privately-owned island off the Caribbean coast of Colombia.
Jobs
The Cayo Perico Heist
- "It’s up to you to find a way to breach Cayo Perico, one of the most secure private islands in the entire world, evade or neutralize the heavily armed security forces stationed there, and escape with valuable evidence along with as much art, gold and drug money as you can carry.
Choose your tools. Choose your approach. Choose your crew – or even go it entirely alone. Just make it back to Los Santos in one piece.
The Cayo Perico Heist is the biggest GTA Online adventure ever, introducing an all-new exotic Heist location, with a brand-new approach to Heist design that features the ability to play everything solo or with up to three other players." - ―Rockstar Newswire
The player is directed to meet with Miguel Madrazo in The Music Locker underground nightclub at The Diamond Casino & Resort, where he provides some background on Juan Strickler and his dealings with the Madrazo Cartel. English Dave appears and adds more background on El Rubio's penchant for extravagant dance parties on his private island. Miguel enlists the player to retrieve incriminating documents from Cayo Perico using a submarine as a planning base. Pavel adds more information to the player's understanding of El Rubio when they purchase a Kosatka.
Several new Awards related to The Cayo Perico Heist have been added to GTA Online, including the opportunity for players to earn up to 1.4 million in bonus GTA$ for various Heist challenges.

Cut Content
![]() |
The following is based on Grand Theft Auto Online cut content and has not been verified by canon sources. Reader discretion is advised. Please do not add unverified or speculative content to this article unless confirmed by Rockstar Games or in-game data. |
- The Avisa and Sparrow were originally to be sold separately from the Kosatka, as both of them have their own description, website image collages, and webpage code.[11][12]
- The Slamtruck has an unused livery (based on the "Flywheels Garage" livery for the Peyote Gasser)[13].
- The Vetir features unused customization parts and an unused livery template, indicating it may have previously been storable in player garages and customizable.[14]
- The Veto Modern[15] and Veto Classic[16] have unused customization parts.
- The Weevil features several unused modifications, such as a removable spare wheel, a muscle car supercharger, and more spoiler options.[17]
- The Kosatka likely orignally had animations for when the player entered it using a vehicle, as it features unused hatches for the helipad and Moon Pool, separate from the hatches seen when exiting the Kosatka with these vehicles.[18]
- A fourth Keinemusik mission was originally going to appear. The player would be instructed to get tequila from the The Diamond Casino & Resort and deliver it to Cayo Perico[19], similar to Palms Trax's Recover the delivery truck mission.
- Originally, the player had to physically pick up suppressors up from the Ammu-Nation in Cypress Flats after buying them for the The Cayo Perico Heist[20], similar to Heist Prep: Masks for The Diamond Casino Heist.
- Unused voice lines from Pavel indicate that the Kosatka may have been able to be used to scope out Cayo Perico. Dialogue indicated that since the protagonist has no disguise, they'll only have one shot with this approach, getting caught likely means they'll get kicked off the island and wake up back at Los Santos.

Trivia
- The platinum award for the Fill Your Bags challenge that was added with this update requires the player to obtain $200,000,000 of secondary loot, as opposed to the incorrectly stated $20,000,000, requiring the player to replay the Cayo Perico Heist at least 500 times to complete. This bug was eventually patched.
- The song used in the main trailer for the update is "Gettin’ Money" by Burna Boy, and is also used during the transition to Cayo Perico for the first time, and also plays as background music during the first Cayo Perico scoping mission, but the song itself is not featured on any radio stations within the game itself.
- The song used in the November 20th preview is the instrumental version of “The Chocolate Conquistadors" by BADBADNOTGOOD & MF DOOM, of which the original version of the song was added as one of the new mixes added to WorldWide FM in the same update.
- The Song used in The Music Locker trailer is "I’ll Provide" by Moodymann, which is also available on Music Locker Radio.
- The update is the first time that two real-life fashion brands, MISBHV (pronounced "misbehave") and Civilist are featured in the game[22]. Both brands also have a collaboration with the German DJ group, Keinemusik.
- Some clothing from these brands can be purchased in any clothing stores, see Character Customization.
- A song by Keinemusik, "Civilist", which is named after the same named brand[23], is featured in the mentioned group's mix, and can also be heard on Music Locker Radio.
- This is the first update with new radio stations that were not added to single player, although the updated tracks on FlyLo FM and Worldwide FM are present.
