Rockstar Games veröffentlicht Updates häufig um 10:00 Uhr UTC.
Below I have listed the approximate times at which the updates were released in Germany:
- 10:00 UTC corresponds to 12:00 CEST (Central European Summer Time, which applies in Germany during summer time).
Rockstar Games officially announced the big Summer Update 2024 for GTA Online at the beginning of June and gave a first look at the content players can expect.
However, Rockstar has not shared with the public exactly when the major update will be released. So we are currently a little in the dark and don’t know exactly when we can expect the new content.
In the official Rockstar Newswire, the developer only gives a rough timeframe for when the new tools and additional elements for Creator will be released. They say:
“Plus, utilize new tools and props to create custom, high-octane Drift and Drag Races in the Creator, and much more later this month.”
It can be assumed that these tools will be released together with the other content as part of the summer update. We can therefore expect a release in the coming weeks of June.
Since Rockstar usually releases new updates on Tuesdays, the new content can basically only be released on the following days:
- Tuesday, June 11, 2024
- Tuesday, June 18, 2024
- Tuesday, June 25, 2024
