Los Santos is about to get a whole lot richer.

For long-time players hungry for something big, A Safehouse in the Hills is one of the most feature-stuffed updates GTA Online has seen in years.
A Wealthy Criminal’s Dream Come True
A Safehouse in the Hills introduces fully purchasable luxury mansions courtesy of Prix Luxury Real Estate. These aren’t just bigger apartments – they’re sprawling, customisable palaces stacked with ways to show off, operate businesses more efficiently and highlight your achievements in style.
Quick Summary Of Key Additions
- High-end mansion properties with advanced virtual assistants

Luxury Mansions Arrive In Los Santos
The headline feature is the arrival of multi-million dollar mansions perched high above the city. Every property comes with lavish décor, vast outdoor spaces and a cutting-edge AI Assistant who can handle your business boosts, operational tasks and quality-of-life chores.
Inside these mansions, players can install:
- A Salon for character styling
- Animal Kennels for domesticated companions
- A dramatic art-lit Garage
- Trophy Cabinets to parade rare collectibles
- Indoor Car Podiums
- Optional Armory and Vehicle Workshop upgrades
If you want your Safehouse to double as a command centre, you can add Private Security staff or unlock additional production bonuses across your owned businesses.
New Missions And A Returning Face
Alongside the real estate upgrade comes a brand new set of action-focused missions. These revolve around stopping the construction of a mass surveillance network, and they’re available to all players even without purchasing a mansion.
Rockstar has teased the return of a familiar character as part of this storyline, promising a mixture of narrative twists and high-tier combat. Expect cinematic missions, large-scale firefights and the kind of chaotic set pieces that define GTA Online’s best content.
More Vehicles, More Speed, More Style
A Safehouse in the Hills also brings a wave of new rides. Highlights include:
- New supercars compatible with Hao’s Special Works upgrades
- Expanded Missile Lock-On Jammer support for more vehicles and non-weaponized aircraft
- New Law Enforcement Vehicles for roleplay and chaos alike
- Fresh Drift variants for sideways specialists
GTA+ members get an extra treat too – one week of early access to the Vapid FMJ MK V plus additional mansion-related perks, including remote business staff management via the Vinewood Club App.
Craft Your Own Chaos With The Mission Creator
Creators and machinima fans will welcome the brand new Mission Creator. This in-depth toolset lets players design and publish their own missions using actors, objectives, custom mechanics and more. It’s one of the most flexible tools Rockstar has ever added to GTA Online, and it arrives free for everyone.
