Rockstar’s support forGrand Theft Auto Onlinehas shown no sign of stopping anytime soon, and with Halloween right around the corner, a new update seems likely. According to a Rockstar insider, that update will be unlocking the recently leaked UFO business battle for allGTA Onlineplayers.
The originalGTA OnlineUFO mission leakwas discovered by skilled dataminers called The Game File Gurus, who were set off about the possibility of a mission by the odd inclusion of an older GTA UFO model. With the code experts believing the random inclusion of a UFO from aGTA 5easter egg seemed sketchy, they dove into the files and quickly discovered that their suspicions were correct.

There is a full mission set to come toGTA Onlinebased on the UFO, and according to a Rockstar insider, players will be seeing it very soon. Tez2, the insider in question, was asked by aGTAfan when the secret mission would become available. Tez2 immediately confirmed the fan’s suspicions of the mission arriving with other Halloween content next week, so fans may want todress up as Aliens inGTA Onlineto celebrate the occasion.
Rockstar’s inclusion of a secret UFO mission is a long time coming considering how prevalent the alien ships have been in the studio’s other games. With multipleUFOs able to be found inRed Dead Redemption 2and a complex Mount Chiliad easter egg that spawns the ships inGTA 5, Unidentified Flying Objects are a perfect fit withinGTA Online. With players already knowing that the mission takes place in Fort Zancudo, many fans will be ready to play the UFO-focused content the second Rockstar makes it available.
Even though gameplay of the entire mission was posted by The Game File Gurus back in August, many fans have been excited to experience the content for themselves. However, the addition of even more content toGTA Onlineis likely to upset players ofRed Dead Redemption 2’s online mode even more. Fans of the Western were already upset aboutRed Dead Online’s Halloween content compared toGTA Online, and with an entire UFO mission coming toGTAfor Halloween as well, those frustrations are likely to continue.
Regardless,GTA Onlineplayers should have a blast doing the UFO job around Halloween. Until the special new content comes, fans can pass the time by continuing to debate overwhichGTAcharacters would be in Slytherin.
GTA Onlineis available now on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One, and will release on PS5 and Xbox Series X in 2021.
