Grand Theft Auto Online Heists Coming In First Update After New-Gen Launch
One of the most anticipated elements of the Grand Theft Auto Online experience is teaming up for heists with friends. It's a feature that's been promised since the beginning, but a year later hasn't made its way into the game.
Today, Rockstar says that Heists are coming, and we likely won't have too long to wait. "We know you’re all excited for more Updates to come and we’ve got some really exciting stuff in the works to continue adding to, expanding and evolving the world of Grand Theft Auto Online – including the highly anticipated launch of Online Heists which will be available for all four consoles as the first GTA Online Update to happen after the game launches on PS4 and Xbox One," the company writes. "We’ll have some details on that very soon as well."
Rockstar has been updating the GTA Online experience with new time-limited events, Rockstar-certified jobs, clothing, and mission types. Online heists will bring the experience a big step closer to meeting fan expectations.
Grand Theft Auto V will be out for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on November 18.

Our Take
Each time we post a story about Grand Theft Auto V or Online, the comments always come back to the current absence of online heists. For so many reasons, I'm looking forward to them finally being implemented.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
