The GTA Online update covering July 18, 2026, ran from July 14 through July 22. Its headline addition was the Kortz Center Heist, alongside a GTA$100,000 weekly challenge, boosted HSW Time Trials, and rotating member and vehicle offers. These were limited-time event details and have expired.
What was new in GTA Online that week?
Rockstar announced the Kortz Center Heist, a multi-stage art robbery. The event-week listing said players could launch it from a player-owned Mansion with an Art Studio, either solo or in a group of up to four. Rockstar’s Newswire announcement confirms the heist became available; the setup and player-count details were reported by GTA Intel’s event-week breakdown.

What were the weekly challenge and activity bonuses?
Kortz Center Heist challenge
GTA Intel reported a GTA$100,000 reward for completing the Kortz Center Heist once during the event week.
HSW Time Trials
The event-week report listed HSW Time Trials at up to 4× GTA$ and RP from July 14 to July 22, 2026. GTA+ members also had a continuing 2× period through August 12, which stacked with the event multiplier. Those dates and eligibility describe the 2026 promotion, not a live bonus; check the in-game event screen for current multipliers.

What GTA+ and vehicle offers were available?
GTA Intel’s 2026 listing described the following rotation. These offers have expired:
- GTA+ claim: Members could claim the Grotti Veleno GT for free during the reported period.
- Property savings: Up to GTA$3,000,000 off Mansions and Art Studio upgrades; GTA$2,000,000 off any Mansion through August 5.
- Vehicle discounts: 30% off a selection of vehicles, including the Karin Futo GTX and Vapid FMJ.
- Lucky Wheel: The Übermacht Jugular was the podium vehicle.
- LS Car Meet: The Lampadati Viseris was the carried-over Prize Ride.
Why does the date need a year?
“July 18” recurs in GTA Online coverage, so the date alone does not identify an update. This recap refers to the July 14–22, 2026 event week—the update spanning July 18, 2026—not a current October 2026 offer. The heist was the main addition; the challenge and time-trial payout were activity bonuses, while the GTA+ claim, discounts, podium vehicle, and Prize Ride were separate rotating offers.
