The new GTA Online The Contract release date has been confirmed for the new Grand Theft Auto 5 story expansion, which will bring back the single-player game’s player character Franklin Clinton years after the events of GTA5 — as well as the special guest character Dr. Dre, who previously appeared in the Cayo Perico Heist update and will have more of a role here. So what’s the new GTA Online story DLC release date?
GTA Online The Contract release date confirmed
The new GTA Online story expansion “The Contract” will release on December 15, next week, as a free update for GTA 5’s popular online COMPONENT. The new story DLC will roughly continue the events of the Cayo Perico Heist — which introduced a new playable island to the game — or at least the part where Dr. Dre appeared to have lost his phone. Dr. Dre will play a large part in the events, as will GTA 5 protagonist Franklin Clinton.
Set years after the events of the main game, The Contract sees an older Franklin running a “celebrity solutions agency” that caters to Vinewood celebrities, but one that’s apparently in need of a high-ticket client. GTA Online character Lamar Davis makes the connection with Dr. Dre, whose phone contains a lot of sensitive information that the legendary rapper wants back.

GTA Online’s The Contract DLC will feature new weapons, new cars, new locations, and a new radio station featuring “some very special guest hosts” and “a ton of new and unreleased exclusive tracks from Dr. Dre and a heavy-hitting line-up of artists.” Rockstar will be revealing more about the fun-sounding expansion over the next week — which the publisher is probably hoping will make up for the debacle surrounding the GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition release, which our own reviewer described as “far from definitive.”
