GTA Online Heist’s Cayo Perico Heist Expansion Takes You To A New Island, Solo Playable

After some teasing, Rockstar announced the next Heist update for Grand Theft Auto V’s multiplayer component, GTA Online. The Cayo Perico heist is different in that it takes place on a brand new location, the titular island of Cayo Perico.

The heist is said to be “GTA Online’s greatest adventure”, tasking you with raping Cayo Perico, which is described as “one of the safest private islands in the world”. You will steal art, gold and drug money while keeping the island safe.

Rockstar says it has taken a “whole new approach” to steering design for Cayo Perico. A major part of this change is the ability to play the Heist with three other players, as usual, or complete the challenge on your own. It’s unclear if you’ll get an AI save, but it looks like you’ll go it alone.

You can get a quick glimpse of what to expect in the video above, which shows the island and the “heavily armed” submarine serving as the headquarters. Rockstar says there are surprises in store for gamers, but you can also expect new social spaces where you can dance and party, new vehicles and “tactical” weapons, guest DJs and more. new radio stations with over 100 new songs to listen to.

The Cayo Perico Heist is released for free on PC, PS4, and Xbox One on December 15. Console versions are playable on PS5 and Xbox Series X / S respectively, with native versions of GTA V on the way.
