Grand Theft Auto Online: The Contract is now live

Grand Theft Auto Online: The Contract, as revealed just about a week ago, is now live all around the globe across all platforms, so those with access to Grand Theft Auto V should get moving.

Rockstar Games has seemingly poured a lot of effort into the free story-driven GTA Online expansion by not only spinning up new content and rewards but also reworking part of the base experience, adding new music tracks and a radio station, updating existing stations, releasing new vehicles and weapons and much more.

Have a look at the launch trailer and some new screens too, along with a checklist of other additions/enhancements!

The Contract, the all-new GTA Online story is available now for free download with every copy of Grand Theft Auto V.

?The Contract is unlike anything we have done before, bridging story, music and the online world in new ways,? said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. ?Thanks to our long-time collaborator and friend DJ Pooh, we were able to work with some of the biggest legends in hip-hop on this very modern Los Santos adventure as players track down Dr. Dre?s lost music.?

Playable solo or with friends, The Contract is a brand-new adventure set in the city of Los Santos, players will help Franklin and friends set up his ?celebrity solutions agency? and do whatever they can to help recover the Dr. Dre?s missing new music, which also debuts exclusively within The Contract.

Further highlights from The Contract include:

• Tons of new music, including: an all-new Radio Station, MOTOMAMI Los Santos, hosted by ROSAL?A and Arca featuring a genre-spanning selection of tracks, a major overhaul of Big Boy?s Radio Los Santos with exclusive new music from rap and hip-hop icons as well as the lead single from an upcoming EP on CircoLoco Records, plus a ?Dre Day? takeover from DJ Pooh?s West Coast Classics, featuring classic Dr. Dre cuts, special cameos and much more.
• The New Music Studio, Record A Studios, where players can drop in on Dr. Dre and a special guest artist working on new music, hang out with friends, or kick back with Franklin and Lamar in the Writer?s Room filled with some very potent weed
