‘Grand Theft Auto Online’ will get its latest round of downloadable content--High Life--this month, Rockstar has said.

On its newswire, Rockstar wrote, “Beef up your bank balance and boost your notoriety in Grand Theft Auto Online this weekend to prepare for the new apartments, lavish cars and amenities coming in the High Life Update coming this month. Starting today and ending tomorrow night at midnight Eastern, all Jobs and activities in GTA Online will earn you twice as much GTA$ and RP.”

They include missions such as Races, Deathmatch & Team Deathmatch, Capture, Last Team Standing, Survival, Missions, Parachuting, Gang Attacks, Hold Ups, Import Export, and Losing Wanted Level. However, the double GTA$ and RP ended Saturday at midnight.

The GTA Online High Life update will come at an unspecified time this month, Rockstar also said.

The update includes allowing “you to expand your foothold in Los Santos with new high-end apartment options, the powerful Bullpup Rifle, new wardrobe items, the Dinka Thrust motorcycle and three new lavish cars to choose from, including the Super class Pegassi Zentorno.

“The High Life Update will also feature the debut of multi-property ownership in GTA Online, which means you'll be able to own two distinct properties (with garages) simultaneously. All this plus the new Mental State player statistic, which is designed to let you see just how passive or psychotically unhinged fellow players in your session really are, and a slew of new Jobs.”

Rockstar made no mention of its Heists DLC, which is coming in the spring.

“Team up with your most trusted Crew members or with random other mercenaries in Grand Theft Auto Online to pull off cooperative Heist Missions for glory and profit. We know many in the GTA Online community have been looking forward to this update — stay tuned for much more information to come,” it added
