The long awaited Heists update for the Online mode of Grand Theft Auto V might be set to launch on home consoles on March 10, but it seems that some players already have access to it on their devices and they have been sharing some details, although it seems that the new content is not actually playable at the moment.

On Twitter, those who have managed to get the content have revealed that gamers playing on the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 will have to download a file which is 4.8 GB in size in order to get all the new missions and activities.

The same Heists update is just 1.2 GB big on the PlayStation 3 and on the Xbox 360.

The players who are able to download the file are also reporting that they are unable to actually play any of the new cooperative missions because they have been locked by the development team at Rockstar and will probably only be accessible when March 10 actually rolls around.

The development team might be delivering the update to some segments of the community earlier in order to make sure that its infrastructure is not overloaded when the official release day comes and that the community can play as soon as possible.

Heists introduces both cooperative and competitive missions for GTA V Online

The big addition to the Online component of the open world game will challenge players to recruit three of their friends and then embark on complex and multi-stage missions that will come with some tough challenges and some big potential rewards.

Rockstar says that groups will have to organize themselves well and will need solid weapons and vehicles in order to manage to complete all the Heists.

All those who are more interested in the Player versus Player element of GTA V Online will also get more modes, each with unique rules.

The new content drop is also designed to introduce more activities that allow gamers to get cash in order to expand their arsenal.

Rumors are also saying that Rockstar will announce a single-player expansion for GTA V in the coming months, which will be launched on all platforms before the end of the year.
