14 DAY TRIAL // Grand Theft Auto 5 will receive next week update 1.06 for its GTA Online multiplayer mode on PS3 and Xbox 360, as well as the free Beach Bum DLC pack that brings new jobs, vehicles, weapons, and customization options.
GTA 5 came out in September and its multiplayer mode arrived in October. While it was plagued by plenty of issues, Rockstar has managed to eliminate many of them over time and recently offered players 500,000 in in-game currency as a token of appreciation.
Now, the studio continues the patch cycle and has confirmed that next week, on November 19, it's going to launch update 1.06 for GTA 5 designed to solve quite a few issues with the multiplayer mode.
Besides bug fixes, the new update also includes the Beach Bum DLC pack, which is completely free of charge.
The add-on, like its name suggests, adds a variety of new jobs centered around the beaches of Los Santos, not to mention new vehicles, weapons, and more.
Check out the full list of features below, via the Rockstar Newswire.
New Jobs
The Beach Bum update will bring a slew of new action-packed Jobs to GTA Online next week. These include new beach-themed Races, Deathmatches, Parachutes, Last Team Standings, Survivals as well as Gang Attacks for those who enjoy a good territorial skirmish.
New Vehicles

All four vehicles will be available at no in-game cost, with the land-based vehicles accessible from the southernsanandreassuperautos.com website and the Speeder available via docktease.com on your in-game phone (call Pegasus for delivery).
