Rockstar Games releases Kortz Center Heist in GTA Online

Rockstar Games launched a free summer update for GTA Online that adds the Kortz Center Heist, a high‑society art‑museum robbery set in Los Santos. Players must own a mansion and purchase the new Art Studio expansion to plan the heist, working with characters Raf De Angelis and Mr. Faber (and a counter‑feiter named Yong‑Rae). The target is the rotating Albert‑Crisp collection inside the Bell Building; the primary artwork can be sold for a weekly bonus or kept as a trophy. The first weekly run pays roughly GTA$2 million, while repeat runs drop to about GTA$400 k and feature a 2‑hour‑24‑minute solo cooldown (48 minutes for 2‑4 players) with an optional hard‑mode bonus of +10 %. The update also introduces seven new vehicles—including the Benefactor LRC GT, Grotti Cartuccia GT and the armored Vapid Caracara—plus enhancements to the Rockstar Mission Creator such as zombies, movable objects, disguises and CCTV‑hacking tools. A limited‑time free‑play week lets players access GTA Online without a PS Plus or Xbox Game Pass subscription. Community members have noted several Easter‑egg paintings that appear to reference the upcoming GTA 6, though Rockstar has not confirmed any connection. The heist’s entry cost is high: a mansion (~$11.5 million in‑game cash) and the Art Studio (~$4.7 million), a total of $16.2 million, which translates to roughly $180 in real‑world money if purchased with Shark Cards.
