GTA Online players on PlayStation can now pre-download the update Agents saboteurs on PS5 and PS4 consoles.

Installation of the update, including the new content, will be done when the DLC launches on Tuesday. Unfortunately pre-downloading is only available on Sony consoles, Microsoft consoles recently added this functionality allowing updates to be downloaded before their deployment, but it seems that Rockstar Games has not heard of it talk.

Partial list of new features in the Sabotage Agents DLC
Besides, what does this update contain? Agents saboteurs which will be available for free this Tuesday, December 10 in GTA Online? This is the second and final DLC for this year 2024 and will add, among other things, a new case, new police missions, new vehicles including a more modern version of the iconic Banshee, the Bravado Banshee GTS, as well as various improvements . All the content of the update is not yet known, you will have to wait until Tuesday to find out the different new features that will be available at launch, and the days that follow for the different content that will arrive in the weeks and months to come , via Data Mining of game files.
- New strategic theft case with Pavel and a former FIB agent. This will be done via the Darnell Bros factory, formerly owned by Lester Crest where he planned his heists in 2013 in the history of GTA 5, as well as the original heists, which at that time, the temporality of GTA Online was the same. This plant will be available for purchase on the site Maze Bank Foreclosures at a price still unknown, no details if other locations will be available. To launch the strategic flights which will resemble mini heists with missions in several stages, you will either have to access the computer present in the factory, or open a management application present on the players’ phones.
- New police missions, LSPD agent Vincent Effenburger will once again call on your services via central calls while aboard a personal police car, to clean the streets of Los Santos.
- New improvement to Terrorbyte allowing you to find items to collect such as figures, movie props, G’s packages, and more. In the trailer, we can see the Terrorbyte with an FIB pattern, so it seems that it is possible to apply patterns to it. Also, it would not be surprising if it would be possible to buy it without having a nightclub with this new update (theory).
- A new weapon variant of the military rifle, this El Strickler version features a gold-plated finish and various default accessories such as a large magazine, a scope, a blue light lamp, as well as blue tracer ammunition. It will be available only on Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X|S (in 2025 on PC), initially accessible in early access for GTA+ members in December, then in January for non-subscribers.
- Stock of bulletproof vests which automatically renews when launching missions, Rockstar had previously added this functionality for heists with the stock of snacks.
- Access to HSW upgrades, Benny’s Original Motor Works and tuning drift from the vehicle workshop in the garage The Vinewood Car Club which is exclusive to GTA+ members.
- New vehicles, including the Bravado Banshee GTS which will be on sale at the launch of the update at an unknown price, free with the GTA+ subscription until January. A new police car will also be available, based on the already present sports car, Invetero Coquette D10, its price is currently unknown, but it would not be surprising if its acquisition requires at least 5 million GTA$. The existing police boat can be purchased.
Also, Rockstar Games announced last month that GTA Online’s Next Gen content will arrive on PC in 2025, without specifying whether it is a free update or a new version which would require going through the purchase box.
