GTA Online Mansion update: Release date and what to expect

It feels illegal somehow to mention anything to do with Grand Theft Auto and confirmed release dates in the same sentence after years of GTA 6 delays, but we've got the scoop and all you need to know about the GTA Online Mansion update A Safehouse in the Hills, including the release date and launch time!

As well as being able to buy up luxury properties, there will be new missions featuring Michael de Santa!

And when it comes to paying for those mansions, well, we hope you have deep pockets, as getting on the luxury Very Important Prix property ladder will set you back at least a few bob.

Still, it will be nowhere near as expensive as the rumoured GTA 6 budget, with many worried that it will be reflected in how much GTA 6 will cost, well, whenever it comes out, that is.

When is the GTA Online Mansion update release date?

The GTA Online Mansion update A Safehouse in the Hills release date is Wednesday 10th December 2025.

A Grand Theft Auto release date confirmed and not nearly a year away? The mind boggles.

What time does the GTA Online Mansion update come out?

The GTA Online Mansion Update A Safehouse in the Hills will go live 10AM GMT on 10th December.

So, unless you’ve got the day off, you’ll need to wait until you come home from work or school before you can dive in. There's no pre-load either, complicating matters further.

But if the GTA fanbase is good at anything, it’s waiting…

What to expect in the GTA Online Mansion update

A Safehouse in the Hills will bring new properties for players to buy, as well as a number of missions tying into the story of the new developers, Prix Luxury Real Estate, along with the return of Michael de Santa!

As announced by Rockstar, there will be three development sites:

• Tongva Hills
• Richman
• The area beneath the Vinewood sign

It’s expected that the new mansions will become permanent fixtures, with the landscape changing to reflect this, as opposed to being simple interiors, such is the case with apartments.

You can invite your friends and strangers to your mansion for parties, and a security team is always on hand to keep people from posting random pamphlets through your door.

The interiors will be customisable too, with optional upgrades such as a car podium, armoury, arcade and vehicle workshop.

In terms of missions, Michael de Santa as back, alongside a rogue AI, but so far, the story details remain a mystery.

You could get a discount of $2 million if you completed the three 'New Listings' missions by 7th December, and another $1 million cash bonus within 72 hours of completion, but this has since passed and the missions have been removed.

If you're not sure if you did those missions, they were added back on 13th November and were:

• New Listings – Due Diligence
• New Listings – Fixes & Fittings
• New Listings – Hard Deadlines
