The GTA Online January 9 weekly update patch notes are here and there is a new car to purchase. So, here’s everything you need to know about Rockstar’s newest weekly GTA update.
As regular GTA Online players will know, Rockstar provides a new update each week, adding or switching around content. This usually includes login bonuses, boosted rewards for specific missions, featured races, and a whole lot more.
The past 12 months have been a big one for Rockstar Games and Grand Theft Auto with tons of drama and news involving GTA 6. The long-awaited sequel was revealed last year, as Rockstar finally dropped a trailer. However, things have gone quiet for now.
We’re still waiting for more info on the GTA 6 front, and the GTA Online follow-up, but until that time, let’s see what’s been added in the most recent update on January 9, 2025. These are the full patch notes.
GTA Online weekly update patch notes (January 9)
New GTA Online content added
The last few weeks of GTA Online updates have been chock full of new content – including new police cars, the Wildlife Photography Challenge, a drip-feed of new jobs, the addition of Drag Races, and a brand new heist – The Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid.
Last week, the Agents of Sabotage update dropped, giving you a new business to own in the form of the Darnell Bros Garment Factory. From here, you’ll team up with Pavel and ex-FIB agent Jodi Marshall to take on some big jobs. And, of course, there are new vehicles to own too.
This week, the Vapid Firebolt ASP is finally available from Southern San Andreas Super Autos. It’ll set you back $1,894,500. On top of that, the El Strickler Rifle is available to everyone now – it is no longer a GTA+ exclusive.
Prize Ride Challenge Vehicle
This week’s GTA Online Prize Ride car to acquire is the Vapid Caracara 4×4. You’ll need to place top three in the LS Car Meet Series for two days in a row to get your hands on it.
Lucky Wheel podium reward vehicle: Delcasse Impaler LX
You can pick up the Declasse Impaler LX this week as it is featured on the Diamond Casino Lucky Wheel as the reward. You could get it for free if your luck is in – or you know how to win every time.
Which GTA Online missions have the highest payout?
As of January 9, 2025, the GTA Online mission with the highest payout is still the Cayo Perico Heist. However, it’s not as lucrative as it once was – much to the annoyance of players.
3-2x GTA$ and RP opportunities
There are a few 3-2x GTA$ and RP opportunities this week. The bonuses for Taxi Work are gone but, hopefully, the lucrative 5x bonus will return soon.
3x GTA$ & RP
- Community Series
2x GTA$ & RP
- FIB File Mission Challenges
- Random Transform Races
Salvage Yard Robberies
Each week, the Salvage Yard Robberies get rotated, with the chance to claim a brand-new car for cut-down prices.
This week you can steal:
- The Duggan Robbery: Pegassi Zentorno
- The Gangbanger Robbery: Albany Roosevelt Valor
- The Cargo Ship Robbery: Bravado Greenwood
