The Cayo Perico Heist should come free for owners of GTA 5. So far, not a single expansion for GTA Online has cost money, which is unlikely to change with the update released in December 2020.


Nevertheless, fans can expect that one or the other new content from GTA Online could be quite expensive in terms of in-game cash. After all, Rockstar Games relies on Shark Cards available for real money for GTA 5's multiplayer mode. Veterans should now have enough saved GTA dollars on their side.

New island “Cayo Perico”: After the game world of GTA Online with the Diamond Casino Resort was already expanded once, there is a new expansion of the map with the December update. And it has it all: A complete island is available for you to explore.


According to Rockstar, there should be various "social spaces" on the island that you and your fellow players can use to dance and party - probably not unlike the nightclubs of GTA Online. This suggests that you could explore Cayo Perico outside of the Heist.


With the Cayo Perico Heist itself, according to the official information from Rockstar, you are targeting the assets of a drug lord who has holed up on the heavily guarded island: objects of art, gold and drug money are waiting to be looted by you.
