Well it’s about time…

We all waited with bated breath for GTA V Online and it EVENTUALLY went live two-weeks after the game was released in September 2013 – which is over a year and a half ago at this stage.

However, upon its release GTA V Online was missing one of the big key selling points for the online section of the game, that being the multiplayer, multi-layered heists.

Well we can officially confirm that Heists are NOW LIVE on GTA V Online.

What are you waiting for? Go play!

Here’s what Rockstar had to say on the Rockstar Newswire: “Heists, a brand new 4-player cooperative gameplay experience for Grand Theft Auto Online, giving players the chance to team up and pull off a string of intense, multi-part heists, raids and robberies across Los Santos and Blaine County, is now available for free inside Grand Theft Auto Online.”

So what will you be able to do in Heists? According to Rockstar:

Plan, Prepare, Execute – Online Heists span numerous missions featuring new gameplay, vehicles, weapons, and scenarios to test a team’s full set of skills: from computer hacking to stealth infiltration, precision driving to aerial dogfighting, sniping, skydiving and much more.

4-Player Teams, 4 Ways to Play – Choose your roles and strategies to complete each stage of a Heist, with tight communication and coordination the key to success. Some missions will require the team to work as a single unit, while others will break the team into separate roles to complete key objectives. Replay each Heist to experience a different perspective on the action, and complete Elite Challenges for extra cash.

Additional New Adversary Modes – Brings new kinds of competition to GTA Online while new Daily Objectives and other Freemode activities bring chaos to the streets of Los Santos and Blaine County.

Assemble Your Team – Create a Crew or join existing Crews at the Rockstar Games Social Club to earn additional RP rewards as you play.
