Rockstar has opened the vault. The Kortz Center Heist \u2014 GTA Online\u2019s blockbuster summer 2026 update \u2014 went live this morning on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC as part of Title Update 1.73. As we covered when the update was first announced<\/a>, this is the biggest new heist to hit GTA Online in years, and Singapore players can jump in right now.<\/p>\n

What Is the Kortz Center Heist?<\/h2>\n

The Kortz Center is Los Santos\u2019 most prestigious cultural space \u2014 a Pacific Bluffs gallery packed with high-value artwork, tight security, and no shortage of cameras. Your job: team up with the mysterious art dealer Mr. Faber and his chief fixer Raf De Angelis, scout the building without raising any alarms, then pull off the cleanest heist in Los Santos history.<\/p>\n

The approach is fully flexible. Go it alone or build a crew of up to three \u2014 the game scales challenge and payouts to your squad size. Rockstar is rotating in three new target paintings every week, so there\u2019s a reason to keep coming back well after your first clean run.<\/p>\n

Getting into the heist takes more than just showing up at the gallery. You\u2019ll first need to own a Prix Luxury Mansion and purchase the new Art Studio expansion. This becomes your planning hub: your in-house counterfeiter produces duplicate paintings that slot into the Kortz Center walls while the originals end up in your hands.<\/p>\n

If you own a Mansion and played GTA Online before July 13, you\u2019re already ahead \u2014 Rockstar credited eligible players with a free Annihilator Stealth helicopter and a GTA$1,000,000 discount on the Art Studio upgrade as part of the Fine Art Collector pre-launch programme. Everyone who played online during that window also received GTA$500,000 and a free Benefactor Turreted Limo.<\/p>\n

Scope It, Fake It, Take It<\/h2>\n

The heist unfolds in stages. First, you head to the Kortz Center itself \u2014 stroll among the exhibits like any other visitor, discreetly photograph the target paintings without alerting security, and map your getaway routes. Then it\u2019s back to the Art Studio to lock in your approach \u2014 quiet infiltration, all-guns-blazing, or something in between. Each week\u2019s initial painting sale carries the best payout, so timing matters.<\/p>\n

The full scope of rewards is still being discovered by the community, but the setup rivals the scale of past GTA Online marquee heists like Cayo Perico and the Diamond Casino.<\/p>\n

New Vehicle and What Else Is In the Update<\/h2>\n

Title Update 1.73 also adds the Grotti Veleno GT<\/strong>, a new Super-class sports car, with GTA+ subscribers getting one week of exclusive early access from today. Rockstar Mission Creator also received improvements in this patch.<\/p>\n

Context worth keeping in mind: with GTA VI<\/strong> confirmed for 19 November 2026<\/strong>, The Kortz Center Heist is shaping up to be among GTA Online\u2019s final major story DLC additions before Rockstar\u2019s full attention shifts to the new game. If you\u2019ve been meaning to get back in, this is the send-off worth logging in for.<\/p>\n

The update is available now \u2014 download sizes are 1.9 GB on PS5 and 5.1 GB on Xbox Series X|S. For more game news<\/a>, check our latest coverage.<\/p>\n
