You've already built an empire. Now let Prix Luxury Real Estate erect your palace in GTA Online: A Safehouse in the Hills, coming this December.

The preeminent purveyors of luxury listings are breaking ground on a series of new property developments in some of Los Santos' most exclusive neighborhoods. These meticulously designed estates will feature sprawling grounds, breathtaking views, and first-rate amenities — including the latest in personal assistance and business service technology.

A Safehouse in the Hills is a content update for Grand Theft Auto Online released on December 10, 2025.

Description

[edit | edit source]

On November 6, 2025, Rockstar Games first teased the update in Newswire posts for the Cayo Perico Week and GTA+ November 2025 events, hinting at a "new era of Los Santos real estate" with a teaser image of a "coming soon" Prix Luxury sign. The following week, on November 13, construction props appeared at the Ace Jones Drive Overlook and Marlowe Drive Overlook in Vinewood Hills, as part of New Listings Week, marking future purchasable Prix Luxury mansion properties and coinciding with the release of the three-part temporary New Listings mission strand, which rewarded players with a limited-time GTA$2,000,000 discount toward any Prix Luxury property once made available in the upcoming update.

On November 20, 2025, a teaser trailer for the update was released, revealing its official name and a full view of the Richman Villa.

Prime luxury real estate comes to GTA Online in A Safehouse in the Hills, the monumental new update arriving December 10 on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.

For those who have reached the highest rungs of the criminal ladder, celebrate your triumph with a painstakingly crafted palace in one of Los Santos' most exclusive neighborhoods, complete with breathtaking views, the finest amenities, and countless ways to customize and make it your own.

Plus, stop the development of a mass surveillance network in an all-new action packed adventure — along with exquisite new vehicles to collect, the return of a familiar face, and much more.

On December 5, 2025, a full announcement trailer for the update was released, marking the return of Michael De Santa and Amanda De Santa from Grand Theft Auto V, accompanied by a Newswire post announcing the update's official release date, and detailing its content, alongside a new promotional website for Prix Luxury Real Estate providing an in-depth look at the features of the mansion properties.

A Grand Theft Auto Online loading screen message for the one-time GTA$1,000,000 reward for completing the New Listings mission strand first revealed the update's initial scheduled release date of December 9, 2025, before it was revised to simply December.[3]

Players who have previously owned an Arcade business prior to purchasing a Mansion were originally intended to receive a text message from the Arcade employee Jimmy De Santa, revealing that he was currently moving out of San Andreas.[4] Despite the text message being unused, Amanda De Santa will still point out that Jimmy is moving away from their house during the introduction cutscene for the Mansion.
