Who wants to wait for the official Rockstar Games Newswire post when the latest GTA Online weekly update is live and the new content is here, raring to go? As happens each week, the open-world game's community has been sharing details of what's new ahead of the studio's blog post, which comes later in the day, so we've got a good idea of what you can dip into this week right now.
Tez2 has shared the rundown of what we can expect from this week's GTA Online update on Twitter. We've got a new round of extra rewards, with triple the usual in-game bucks and RP on the game's Sumo adversary mode - y'know, the one that gets you behind your chosen set of wheels to then batter opponents out of the ring while staying inside it yourself. Gerald's missions and the series of Special Vehicle Work jobs will yield you double GTA$ and RP this week, too.
The GTA Online prize ride this week is the Dominator ASP, which you can earn by finishing in the top three places in six Los Santos car meet races, while the latest GTA Online podium vehicle is the Specter two-door sports car.

GTA Online weekly update triples rewards on stunt and air races
Rockstar has said it is continuing to improve and evolve GTA Online, and one of the ways it is doing this is by cycling select Adversary Modes and Player Jobs in and out of the game.
According to the studio, because GTA Online offers such a diverse array of gameplay, with over 1,000 Rockstar-created Jobs and “tens of millions” player-created Jobs, cycling Rockstar-created Jobs in and out of the game over time will help free up space for future new missions and modes.
The firm said another way it is improving the game is focusing on the game’s matchmaking by steering the community toward a more streamlined list of Jobs from week to week.
The theme of GTA Online's weekly update is a tad racy this week. Rockstar Games typically posts the full rundown of its weekly updates to its Newswire later in the day, but fans don't have to wait - they can get a peep at what's changed beforehand as the crime game updates in the morning.
If you fancy your abilities behind the wheel and need some extra in-game dosh, you'll want to check out some stunt and air races this week as Rockstar has tripled the rewards. You'll also find that the GTA Online prize ride this time around is the Calico GTF. To nab it, all you have to do is finish in the top two in LS Car Meet races for six days in a row. You can also try out the Dominator GTT, Growler, and RT3000 on the test track if you fancy trying a GTA car before you buy it.
Don't worry if you aren't a keen racer, though, as there are other ways to make money this week. The Inch by Inch adversary mode offers double the rewards, which involves two teams competing against each other to move some cargo from A to B. You can also get double the rewards on VIP Work and Special Cargo missions.

The best open-world games on PC
There's been a bizarre number of activities added to Grand Theft Auto Online over the years, much of which bear little resemblance to the original game. But that doesn't mean Rockstar has forgotten the GTA's roots. That's proven this week with th return of good, old-fashioned hitman duty.
Madrazo Dispatch Services has arrived according the the latest news from Rockstar. As it turns out, Michael De Santa isn't the only one legitimate businessman Martin Madrazo has had disagreements with. Madrazo Dispatch Services has you tracking down Los Santos citizens who have been luckless enough to land on the gangster's hit list. Rockstar says you'll be infiltrating the LSPD and assaulting Merryweather Headquarters as you track them down. Probably just for a heart-to-heart.

There are new cars available now in the game, too. The Lampadati Michelli GT is a high-powered muscle car that probably turns like a brick but reportedly makes up for it in horsepower. There's also the Rune Cheburek, which is based on Soviet autos of the Cold War era.
