Rockstar Games has announced details on the upcoming December Update for GTA Online and apart from Los Santos getting a holiday makeover, you can expect some familiar faces to return in the game as well. A brand-new illicit Salvage Yard business with new Vehicle Robberies and new Drift Races are also coming to GTA Online. New limited-time Rockstar Games 25th Anniversary in-game apparel, animals, and a lot more highlights the upcoming December update for GTA Online.
If you have played GTA IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony, you will remember the face of Yusuf Amir, the biggest real estate developer of Liberty City. He is now coming to Los Santos with a new business plan and this time around, you will steal, strip, and sell the most in-demand vehicles as part of Yusuf’s latest venture. Working alongside his cousin Jamal, you will plan and execute intricate, high-stakes robberies under the cover of a new shop called Red’s Auto Parts. It is a new purchasable salvage yard where you will manage everything and sell the best vehicles to Yusuf or salvage the boosted vehicles for parts.
If you love drifting then you are in luck because the new Drift Races are all about drifting and racing at the same time. In these races, you will drive specially tuned vehicles that are modified with drifting in mind. You can unlock these special drifting modifications by taking part in these races. The Drift modifications are only available to select vehicles at the LS Car Meet and if you can get these modifications, you can drive your Drift machines in freeroam as well.
