5 unique ideas for future GTA Online DLCs
Grand Theft Auto 6 is coming out in the fall of 2025, and Rockstar Games is expected to continue dropping GTA Online DLCs at least until then. The content introduced so far for this title has been quite diverse and fun for the most part. However, there are certain ideas and themes that the popular 2013 game is seemingly yet to explore, even though they might make it more entertaining.
So, in this article, we will be taking a look at five unique concepts that future GTA Online DLCs could implement. Readers should remember that none of the content discussed below has been confirmed.

Gang wars and 4 other unique ideas for future GTA Online DLCs
1) Michael's movie
Fans have been waiting for Grand Theft Auto 5 story mode protagonist Michael De Santa to appear in the multiplayer since its inception. Whenever a new DLC gets announced, speculations around his possible inclusion occupy the fanbase.
This is why it would be great for Michael to be a part of the game's next DLC. He was, notably, a movie producer by the time Grand Theft Auto 5's story mode concluded. Franklin, another major character, even vaguely hints at him still being active during a VIP Contract mission in GTA Online.
Therefore, the next DLC for the multiplayer title can involve players helping Michael De Santa with the production of a new film. Its missions could be themed around gathering funds, possibly through a heist, dealing with adversaries, or sourcing necessary items.
2) New VIP Contract
Rockstar Games has only added a single VIP Contract quest to the Agency business so far. It involves popular American music artist Dr. Dre and is quite fun as well as highly rewarding.
Unfortunately, replaying it over and over again has made it kind of boring, which is why a future GTA Online DLC should introduce a brand-new VIP Contract. It could also feature a famous real-life musician or an actor in a series of missions.
Not only would this give players something new, but also add a breath of fresh air to the Celebrity Solutions Agency business.
3) Gang wars
Gangs are a big part of the state of southern San Andreas. The Chamberlain Gangster Families (CGF), Ballas, and Vagos all inhabit the city of Los Santos but are somewhat underutilized.
As such, introducing a territory-based system via a future DLC, might not be a bad idea. The inclusion could involve players teaming up with one of the aforementioned factions and engaging in gang wars to take over rival territories as well as defending their own.
Any GTA Online properties falling in a region controlled by a faction could be offered on discount to add more value to this mechanic.
4) Grand Theft Auto 6 characters
Wyman from the 2022 GTA 6 leaks was rumored to appear in the Bottom Dollar Bounties update, but that didn't happen. As such, the character's arrival via a future DLC could be used to tease the upcoming installment.
The supporting cast members involved in the next Grand Theft Auto game's story mode could be utilized similarly. They could make a cameo or play a role in a business or a GTA Online heist. This would not only raise excitement for Grand Theft Auto 6 but bring attention to the decade-old multiplayer as well.
Some civilian and new police cars from GTA 6 can also be added to the game through future DLC to further tease the player base.
5) Finishing the story
Your current GTA Online character being carried over to the upcoming game's potential online mode is unlikely. As such, the title's final DLC should feature missions that bring their story in Los Santos to a close.
The ending can have your character leaving for Leonida, which is where the GTA 6 map will be set. You should still be allowed to continue playing GTA Online like usual, and this approach would put an end to the character's story in Los Santos.
