Back in the summer of 2020,Rockstar Gameswas reportedly gearing up to release a new update forGrand Theft Auto Onlineknown as Cops ‘n’ Crooks. While never confirmed by Rockstar, reliable sources such asTezFunz2have discovered multiple references to the update in the years since its cancellation.
Rumours suggest that the update was canned due to real-world events that were taking place at the time, likely related to the death of George Floyd and the protests that followed. But now, after four years of rumours, GTA fans believe Rockstar has repurposed the update and will now be releasing it later this month under a different name.

GTA Online’s summer 2024 update was announced by Rockstar yesterday afternoon with a brand-newNewswire post. In the announcement, Rockstar confirmed that players would be able to “clean up the roving reprobates of Southern San Andreas” as the update will allow players to open their very own bounty-hunting business.
The update will also allow players to “conduct a range of off-the-books enforcement activities across Los Santos,” as well as include some new quality-of-life updates and more.
Whilesome members of the communitybelieve the upcoming update is a little lacklustre, others are ecstatic to discover that the heavily rumoured Cops ‘n’ Crooks update may finally be becoming a reality.
According to TezFunz2, who is a reliable leaker and insider when it comes to all things Rockstar, the scrapped Cops ‘n’ Crooks update was supposed to include some form of “Dispatch Work” missions, which are now being included in this summer’s big update.
There’s still likely a lot more to be shared by Rockstar Games in the coming weeks, but fans are hopeful that it will include some brand-new cop cars and plenty of new police uniforms to rock while completing their bounty missions.
