GTA Online Money Fronts release date, pre-load, file size and new content

With still roughly a year away from launch, developer Rockstar Games continues to release GTA Online content updates.

This includes a brand new content update in which players open legitimate businesses in order to launder money.

The GTA Online Money Fronts update has a June 17 release date on PS5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store).

To ensure you can jump in and start playing the moment the content goes live, PS5 and Xbox Series X users can actually pre-load the update early.

The new Money Fronts update weighs in between 3-5GB depending on the platform, so it shouldn't take too long to download.

While the new update is available to download now, the content won't actually be playable until the estimated launch time of 10am BST.

In terms of new content, the Money Fronts update gives players the ability to purchase various local businesses in order to launder money.

Rockstar Games explains more: "Acquire iconic local businesses and use them to route earnings through a sophisticated and interconnected operation while hiding it from prying eyes.

"With the help of longstanding associate Martin Madrazo, you'll connect with new advisors who will help you accumulate new business ventures and launder your dirty money while also infusing your accounts with legitimate income.

"With some creative bookkeeping and a little elbow grease, you'll end up further enriched and the taxman will be none the wiser."

Players start with the Hands On Car Wash in Strawberry, which is described as the "perfect vintage facade to conceal your illegal activity".

The car wash will serve as the heart of your money laundering scheme, and is said to provide enough a good source of income without alerting the authorities.

Earn enough money and you'll be able to purchase new businesses, including the Smoke on the Water dispensary and Higgins Helitours.

According to Rockstar, players will generate heat when performing illegal activities through their business ventures. When this happens, you'll need to focus on the legitimate side of the business.

In addition to buying new businesses, the Money Fronts update adds new vehicles such as the Karin Everon RS, Woodlander SUVs, and the Declasse Tampa GT.

Players can even take on police dispatch work by unlocking the Western Police Bike and Summer Highway Patrol Outfit.

Needless to say, Rockstar Games will make various gameplay tweaks and bug fixes as part of the update. Daily Express will be back with the patch notes soon.
