GTA 5 DLC Rumored to Drop June 17 — Fans Hope for Michael or Mansion Content
It’s 2025, and while most GTA fans have their eyes set on GTA 6 (now delayed until May 26, 2026), Rockstar Games may not be done with GTA Online just yet. A flurry of community speculation, social media buzz, and unusual timing with the current GTA+ cycle has sparked rumors that a brand-new GTA 5 DLC is coming — and it might be dropping as soon as June 17, 2025.
Here’s everything we know so far.
Why June 17 Makes Sense — Patterns & Clues from Rockstar
The biggest clue pointing to a June 17 release date comes from Rockstar’s own pattern of updates. Traditionally, GTA Online DLC drops land on a Tuesday, and this year, June 17 falls on a Tuesday. Coincidence? Maybe not.
The current GTA+ subscription cycle ends on Monday, June 16, which is another strong indicator. GTA content creator Gtamen highlighted this on X (formerly Twitter), stating:
“The next GTA Online DLC launches on June 17th. GTA+ ends on June 16th, a Monday.”
This mirrors previous update cycles where DLC followed directly after a GTA+ month — the most notable being the December 2024 update that dropped right after GTA+ ended on December 9. Popular GTA YouTuber TGG accurately predicted that release by spotting the same pattern.
On Reddit, user lcquincy confidently claimed:
“I am 90% sure we will see a release on the 17th.”
Their reasoning? Rockstar has consistently dropped DLCs on Tuesdays since 2000, and whenever a GTA+ cycle ends on a Monday, a major DLC tends to follow.
What Could the New DLC Be About? Michael? Mansions? Or a Summer Heist?
While Rockstar hasn’t officially confirmed any details, speculation about the theme is running wild. A large part of the community is hoping for a Michael De Santa-themed DLC, which would tie in nicely with the long-requested Mansion update.
Some fans are expecting:
- A new summer-themed mini-heist
- Ability to buy and customize high-end mansions
- Return of Michael as a playable or interactive character in online missions
- New VIP or executive content for GTA+ members
With GTA Online getting a bit stale for long-time players, fans are eager for something fresh and meaningful — not just cosmetic updates or weekly car drops.
Last-Gen Left Behind?
There’s also speculation that this upcoming DLC might mark the end of the road for last-gen support. With the Rockstar Editor becoming exclusive to current-gen consoles and more demanding DLCs in development, the Xbox 360 and PS3 could officially lose support. This wouldn’t be surprising given the trend in the AAA industry — and Rockstar’s own push toward modern hardware with GTA V Enhanced.
What’s Next? An Official Announcement Soon?
If Rockstar is following its usual pattern, we should expect a Newswire blog post or trailer sometime next week. That would fall perfectly in line with previous years’ marketing windows, especially with the summer DLC season approaching.
Until then, fans can enjoy the ongoing weekly bonuses — including Special Cargo Sell Mission rewards and VIP Work RP bonuses — while preparing for what could be one of the last major DLCs before the GTA 6 era.
Final Thoughts
While this is all still speculation, the evidence is stacking up fast. With June 17 aligning perfectly with Rockstar’s historical release cadence and the GTA+ cycle ending a day before, all signs point toward a major GTA Online update on the horizon.
Whether it’s a Mansion DLC, Michael’s return, or something completely unexpected — players are just hoping Rockstar delivers one more big hit for GTA 5 before the next generation officially begins.
Stay tuned — we’ll update as soon as Rockstar drops something official.
