Rockstar Games have released the After Hours update for GTA Online!

The highlights of this update are the introduction of nightclubs in GTA Online as well as the return of ‘Gay Tony’ who was a significant character in the GTA 4 DLC Expansion ‘The Ballad of Gay Tony’ which I referred to many times in an older post. The update adds a whole range of cool new items / vehicles as well as Nightclubs and Nightclub management.

Here is the synopsis for this new update:

Work your way up from an empty Los Santos venue to running the hottest spot in clubland as Gay Tony rides again in GTA Online: After Hours. Get your venture off the ground with some help from the legendary Tony Prince: source a sound system, choose your décor and get busy booking superstar DJs to keep the club packed to the rafters all day and all night – and use it all as a front for the most concentrated network of criminal enterprises ever to hit San Andreas. From the mainframe in this sprawling underground warehouse your tech team can accrue high demand contraband from every other business you own – and all without you having to lift a finger.

Check out the trailer:

Nightclub Management:

The player must carry out missions to help manage the club. Missions are required to help secure bar / security staff, nightclub equipment and even a DJ to attract more customers and profit. There will also be the ability to dance as well in your club. Certain in-game celebrities will also be visiting clubs, depending on its popularity. Here is what Rockstar had to say about this:

“Run missions to secure your club’s essentials – bar and security staff, equipment, and resident DJ – then promote your venue to boost your profile, and keep club profits rolling in. And while you’re there, you might as well have some fun: tear up the dance floor to earn awards with all-new dancing, sip some bubbles in the VIP area, pour shots for your friends from behind the bar – and keep an eye out for Los Santos celebrities to make an appearance at the most popular clubs from the likes of Jimmy Boston, Lacey Jonas and more.”

It was also announced that popular DJ’s would be available for nightclubs as well. These will vary depending on the date:

“Thanks to Tony’s dodgy fixer English Dave, renowned deep house titan Solomun has signed on as your first resident DJ, and some of the world’s best DJs will be swinging through town soon, looking for the right venue to bring their own unique mix of modern house and techno. “

Here’s a look at the lineup for the weeks ahead:

Solomun – July 24
Tale Of Us – July 31
Dixon – August 7
The Black Madonna – August 14

I think this is a great addition to GTA Online as it will help the game world feel even more alive than before!

Nightclub Warehouse:

This warehouse can be used to manage your club as well as other businesses you own in GTA Online. Rockstar said it comes with a free vehicle aswell:

“Your Warehouse Garage includes a complimentary Vapid Speedo Custom, which your mechanic can customize with optional armor plating and a swivel-mounted machine gun. The Maibatsu Mule Custom and MTL Pounder Custom are larger vehicles to handle riskier deliveries, each with armor and weapons customizations to protect your goods and your neck.”

New Vehicles:

A range of new vehicles have been added in this update. These vehicles must be purchased in-game from the various stores:

“Get ready for a street side symphony as the screeching wheels of a customized Dinka Jester Classic compete with the shuddering roar of a Mammoth Patriot Stretch and the effortless purr of the Ocelot Swinger. Plus a trio of new functional delivery vehicles that can be transformed into fully weaponized juggernauts, the MTL Pounder Custom, Maibatsu Mule Custom and Vapid Speedo Custom. Then there’s the Festival Bus…”

Here is the list of new vehicles and corresponding in-game store where they can be purchased:
