Rockstar Games has released the highly awaited ‘A Safehouse in the Hills’ update for Grand Theft Auto Online. This free content drop addresses many long-standing player requests while bringing new energy to the decade-old game. The patch is now available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. It allows players to buy luxurious mansion properties. It also brings back Michael De Santa, the protagonist from Grand Theft Auto 5, marking a key moment for the multiplayer experience.
The main feature of this expansion is the introduction of high-end real estate through the new Prix Luxury Real Estate service. Players can now buy large, customizable mansion properties in the Los Santos area, which fans have sought after for years. The base prices for these new properties are quite high, ranging from $11,500,000 to $12,800,000, not including personalization and upgrades. This requested feature significantly expands the game’s property system, giving high-level players new ways to spend their in-game wealth.
In addition to real estate, the ‘A Safehouse in the Hills’ update provides important creative tools to the dedicated community. Rockstar has introduced a powerful Mission Creator, a detailed toolkit that enables players to create and publish their own complex Missions using game mechanics, custom objectives, and placeable characters. Furthermore, the return of Michael De Santa adds the last main character from the original single-player story to the online world. His return is expected to be involved in new missions and content, offering players unique interactions that were not available in multiplayer before.
The patch also adds the new Vapid FMJ MK V supercar, although it is only available to GTA+ subscribers during the first week. As Grand Theft Auto Online continues its successful run ahead of the next installment, questions have arisen about the future of the current title. Since Michael De Santa is the last protagonist added and mansions have been a major request, some players believe ‘A Safehouse in the Hills’ may be the last big content expansion before the planned release of Grand Theft Auto 6 in November 2026.
