Time to stack that virtual cash: GTA Online’s A Safehouse in the Hills drops December 10, 2025, finally delivering the sprawling mansions fans have chased for a decade.

Rockstar is finally doing the thing GTA Online players have begged for since, like, the PS3 era: actual mansions. The DLC is called GTA Online: A Safehouse in the Hills, and it drops December 10, 2025. Start hoarding that GTA$, because these are not modest little Vinewood condos.

Where you can plant your flag

You pick from three high-end spots in Los Santos: Tonga Hills, Richman, or a perch right by the Vinewood sign. Prices are still under wraps, but given how Rockstar prices anything with a marble countertop, I would not plan on anything under 5 million, even on the friendly end.

What these places actually are

These are not just glossy real estate listings. They are fully tricked-out compounds, inside and out, with a bunch of quality-of-life toys layered on top. Think pools, a helipad, offices, vaults — the works — plus a few touches that are clearly designed by people who know how players actually use this game.

  • Expansion Drive: a huge driveway for parking your fleet, trading flexes, and staging impromptu car meets with friends.
  • Poolside lounge spaces: kick back on loungers with drinks after your fourth El Rubio hit of the week.
  • Dedicated yoga zone: a calm corner for when Los Santos has you questioning your life choices.
  • Lavish swimming pool: big enough to host half your friends list and still have space to float.
  • Hot tub: wind down there after the pool, because you earned it.
  • Outdoor gym: proper equipment and great views for the fitness grinders.
  • Kennels: with pets coming to GTA Online, your furry sidekick gets a proper setup.
  • Garage under the house: a spacious, tucked-under garage for your high-end supercars.
  • Private rooftop helipad: fly straight in; both the Buzzard and the Akula can set down here.
  • Three interior styles: you can mix and match to build your own look — not just pick one preset and call it a day.
  • Master suite plus guest rooms: room for you and multiple friends to crash after... whatever that was last night.
  • Lounge area: a comfortable spot to plan your next heist or casino run with the crew.
  • Cigar room: light up a Redwood or an Estancia and hide from your responsibilities for a minute.
  • Office: run your operations — legitimate or otherwise — from home base.
  • Trophy room: a dedicated place to show off the stuff you bled for.
  • Secure vault: stash valuables where randoms cannot touch them.
  • Private salon: get a fresh cut at home and avoid Oppressor drive-bys on the way to the barber.
  • Media room: a big-screen space with multiple seats for documentaries, TV shows, and highlights.
  • Optional upgrades: a car podium (for showing off your favorite ride), an armory (upgrade weapons and prep for A Safehouse in the Hills missions), an arcade setup (if you have an Arcade unlocked, fill your mansion with retro cabinets), and a full vehicle workshop (tune performance and cosmetics without going to Los Santos Customs).
  • Built-in perks: every mansion includes an AI Concierge as your personal virtual assistant, a 24/7 Security Team keeping watch, and a Mansion Party feature so you can throw the kind of event people will talk about in chat all week.

The bottom line

This is the mansion update people have been waiting a decade for, and Rockstar seems to know it. Locations are premium, the feature list is borderline absurd, and the quality-of-life upgrades are exactly the stuff veteran players will actually use. No price yet, but budget big. December 10 is around the corner — are you moving in?
