The Kortz Center Heist Set for July 14 as GTA Online’s Final Major Update

The update restores classic multi-stage heist design, signaling a wind-down of major GTA Online expansions ahead of GTA 6.

Overview

  • Rockstar confirmed the Kortz Center Heist will launch on Tuesday, July 14, 2026, as a large, museum-themed multi‑stage robbery playable solo or with up to four players.
  • Players must install a new Art Studio expansion in a Los Santos Mansion to unlock the heist, which centers on reconnaissance and stealth tasks such as photographing exhibits, wiping CCTV footage, covering tracks, and avoiding witnesses.
  • The heist introduces weekly rotating high-value paintings to steal, new vehicles and upgrades, and GTA+ subscribers receive early access to the Grotti Veleno GT on the July 14 launch.
  • Rockstar is offering pre-release in‑game cash bonuses that total up to GTA$1.5 million if players log in and complete eligible activities before July 13 to help buy the mansion and prep gear.
  • The Kortz Center marks GTA Online’s first official full heist since Cayo Perico in 2020 and is presented by Rockstar as likely the last big GTA Online content drop before the company shifts focus to GTA 6, a move that could drive short-term player returns and in‑game spending.
