GTA 5 Online UPDATE: GTA Online Casino release date news for PS4 and Xbox One

If you’ve been keeping track of GTA 5 Online these past months, you’ll know that a new Casino DLC is being primed for launch.

This latest Grand Theft Auto multiplayer expansion has yet to be given a release date, but that could all be changing very soon.

There are now hopes that big news surrounding the GTA Online DLC will be released by Rockstar Games later this week.

Data miners and game trackers have been keeping a close eye on how the development team goes about their launch cycles.

And some now believe that the next week or so will see the launch of the GTA 5 Online Casino expansion.

It should be noted that Rockstar Games have not confirmed much past the news that it will be landing during Summer 2019.

And that provides a very vague release window for fans to get excited about.

But based on how things have been done in the past for GTA Online, new details could be shared on Thursday, July 11.

Rockstar Games are expected to announce the release date alongside a new trailer around a week before the new DLC arrives.

And some are predicting that this will happen later this week, followed by a launch on July 18.

Having already shared the first details on the elite Casino content, it would seem strange to wait until August or September to release it.

TezFunz, a known Rockstar Games tracker and a good source for information on how the game gets updated, believes it could be happening soon in July.

When asked on Twitter about it, Funz replied: “I’ll say next week but keep in mind I’m not sure about this.

“If July 18th is the release date, then next week will be the best time to announce the release date or reveal a trailer for it.”

This all checks out with how Rockstar has handled launches in the past, but there’s always the chance that the dev team have had to change their plans.

But even if we don’t hear more about the new expansion this week, it doesn’t seem like we’ll be waiting long for new information.

And details still remain murky at best when it comes to what exactly will be included.

Rockstar has confirmed that gamers will be able to visit the new Casino location and play various table games, as well as visit new shops.

But we still don’t know about all the other stuff that could be released alongside it.

New elite vehicles seem a given, but it’s hard to say in which direction Rockstar will take their latest content.

We already have flying Motorbikes, so there’s a big scope for what the development team could have planned.

The Casino would be the perfect place to stage a social hub for GTA Online but it’s unclear if the game source code could handle such a feat.

Some data miners believe that you will be able to buy a piece of the Casino and have access to your own room within it, much as we have seen with other businesses.

But while we have the rough outline, we still don’t know the full extent of what the Casino will add.

So fans will want to keep an eye on the official Rockstar social feeds this week for any new GTA 5 Online updates.
