Rockstar also today announced the first downloadable content for GTA Online. Dubbed the Beach Bum Pack, the DLC contains new beach-themed vehicles and weaponry that can be used in GTA Online and Story Mode. The expansion will arrive in November.
The Beach Bum Pack will also include more customization options for GTA Online characters, including tattoos and hairstyles. New Jobs will also be added across Los Santos and Blaine County.
In addition, Rockstar said it continues to work on delivering, at least the first part, of the GTA Online Content Creator sometime this fall. This will allow players to craft, publish, rate, and play custom Deathmatch and Race jobs. Rockstar will flag some of these creations as "Rockstar Verified" to be featured on the Rockstar Newswire and as part of upcoming GTA Online Social Club events.
The Beach Bum Pack and Content Creator will be free.
Rockstar also announced today that the first GTA Online Social Club Event weekends will kick off in November. Players will be able to score special rewards and bonuses for participating.
