The briefing
The Kortz Center Heist arrived July 14, 2026 as GTA Online Title Update 1.73. Its central purchase requirement is the new Art Studio expansion for an owned Mansion. The studio’s planning board opens preparations for stealing artwork from the Pacific Bluffs cultural landmark.
Mr. Faber and Raf De Angelis connect the player with the operation. Preparation choices feed into a finale with alternative approaches, escape routes and loadouts. Stolen works can be sold or displayed in the player’s Mansion, giving the artwork a role beyond a single cash reward. Some preparation access is also available through Raf’s Freemode phone contact.
The update includes a vehicle collection, Mission Creator changes and other experience improvements across the listed supported platforms. Treat the heist access cost, a painting’s value and any launch-period discount separately. The release record confirms the July update; suggestions that it would be the final GTA Online expansion were speculation, not an announced support policy.
