GTA Online weekly update August 14 patch notes: Drift Week bonuses, free money discounts, more

The GTA Online August 14 weekly patch notes are here, and there are big bonuses to celebrate Drift Week. Here’s everything you need to know about Rockstar’s newest weekly GTA update.

As regular GTA Online players will know, Rockstar provides a new update each week, adding or switching around content. This usually includes login bonuses, boosted rewards for specific missions, featured races, and a whole lot more.

The past 12 months have been a big one for Rockstar Games and Grand Theft Auto with tons of drama and news involving GTA 6. The long-awaited sequel was revealed at the end of 2023, but has since been delayed until May 26, 2026.

While Rockstar have shown off some parts of the single-player experience in GTA 6, we’re still waiting on more info for the GTA Online follow-up, but until that time, let’s see what’s been added in the most recent update on August 14, 2025. These are the full patch notes.

GTA Online weekly update patch notes (August 14)

New GTA Online content added

The last few weeks of GTA Online updates have been chock-full of new content, including the Agents of Sabotage update with new vehicles and the Garment Factory.

The arrival of Money Fronts, a new update which allows you to buy the Hands On Car Wash, Higgins Helitours, and Smoke on the Water for money-laundering operations is here. The latter two also give you boosts towards your Weed Farm and Air Freight Cargo.

This week is all about Drift Week, with plenty of bonuses centred around the LS Car Meet. 

Prize Ride Challenge Vehicle

This week’s GTA Online Prize Ride car to acquire is the Karin Calico GTF. You’ll need to place in the top four in the LS Car Meet Series for two days in a row to get your hands on it.

Lucky Wheel podium reward vehicle: Weaponized Declass Tampa

You can pick up the Weaponized Declasse Tampa this week, as it is featured on the Diamond Casino Lucky Wheel as the reward. You could get it for free if your luck is in – or you know how to win every time.

Which GTA Online missions have the highest payout?

As of August 14, 2025, the GTA Online mission with the highest payout is still the Cayo Perico Heist. However, it’s not as lucrative as it once was – much to the annoyance of players.

2x GTA$ and RP opportunities

There are a few 2x GTA$ and RP opportunities this week. Sadly, there are no bonuses for Taxi Work but, hopefully, the lucrative 5x bonus will return soon.
