GTA Online Transform Races countdown: Release date, time for HUGE new Rockstar DLC update

 fans are counting down to the release of the next batch of PS4, Xbox One and PC DLC.

The GTA Online Transform Races update has an October 17 release date and if it’s anything like past DLC drops, it should have a midday launch time in the UK.

As previously reported, Transform Races lets players transition between land, sea and air in a single race.

“Transform Races allow for instant mid-race transition between land, sea and air vehicles as players traverse courses that span Los Santos’ streets, harbours, and skies,” reads a Rockstar post.

“Transform between a wide array of vehicle types – from Supers and Off-Roaders, to Boats, Jet Skis, Planes, Helicopters and more.

“These new and unique stunt tracks will also feature Warps, new checkpoint types that allow for instant mid-race jumps from place to place across the map, allowing for a huge range of new Stunt Race types.”

You can check out the new DLC below…

Transform Races will be followed by new adversary modes and even a new vehicle that shares similarities with the Batmobile.

New adversary modes include Condemned, which is described as a “free-for-all with one player on the clock as a dead man walking”.

“The only chance at survival through passing this death sentence on to an opponent.”

Dogfight, meanwhile, lets players live out their “fighter pilot fantasies and send the opposition spiralling to their doom”.

This will be accompanied by new aerial vehicles including the Hunter attack helicopter, as well as road-based vehicles like the Batmobile-inspired Vigilante.

Rockstar has also given fans a brief teaser about what to expect later this year.

In addition to the inevitable Halloween and Christmas DLC updates, players can expect a selection of new properties and vehicles.

“Plus, look out for more to come to GTA Online later this year, including new Weaponized Vehicles and inventory updates at Legendary Motorsport, new properties coming on the market via Maze Bank Foreclosures and more.”
