November 12, 2020 Rockstar Games has posted the full details on the GTA Online weekly update

It's that time of the week again, Grand Theft Auto Online fans. The weekly update is upon us, the multiplayer game's community has been busy working out what's to come, and now Rockstar Games' official Newswire post has landed - and there are some glittering goodies in store.
