Rockstar’s
upcoming GTA Online update (June 2025) Money Fronts launches on
June 17 and puts you in charge of San Andreas’s biggest cash-cleansing
operation. With veteran fixer Martin Madrazo by your side, you’ll acquire and
run local front businesses – routing your illegal earnings through them to make
it all look legitimate. In short, Money Fronts turns your underground
empire into a covert money-laundering machine, expanding your criminal business
and padding your bank account in one fell swoop.
Launder Money Through Local Front Businesses
The heart of Money Fronts
is buying “dirty” but apparently normal businesses and using them to clean
cash. First up is the Hands On Car Wash in Strawberry, Los Santos – a
low-profile, cash-intensive storefront that becomes the centerpiece of your
laundering operation. As Rockstar explains, this “vintage facade” handles lots
of cash without drawing police attention, “prosperous enough without alerting
the authorities” as it quietly funnels money into your accounts. Owning the car
wash not only brings in steady passive income from your criminal
network, but it also unlocks two more fronts: the Smoke on the Water
cannabis dispensary and Higgins Helitours helicopter tours. Each of
these businesses has an above-board side (selling weed or scenic tours) and an
underground side (stuffing cash into your operation). Notably, owning Smoke on
the Water boosts your Weed Farm profits, while Higgins Helitours boosts your
Air Freight Cargo earnings. In this way, the GTA Online Money Fronts
features let you interconnect your businesses: you launder money through
the car wash, then expand to the dispensary and tour company for even more
revenue and cover.
All this money-moving attracts
attention – the game’s Heat system kicks in as law enforcement starts
sniffing around your fronts. When your Heat level climbs, you’re supposed to play
the legitimate owner. In practice, this means spending time running the
real business side of your ventures (washing cars, selling weed, giving tours)
to keep the Heat down. In effect, managing Heat becomes a mini-game of keeping
the police off your tail: run the normal day-to-day operations to draw away
suspicion, and your illicit cash flow keeps rolling in under the radar.
New Vehicles on the Streets
Alongside new businesses, Money
Fronts adds several hot new rides to your garage. Key new vehicles include
the sporty Karin Everon RS, rugged Woodlander SUVs, and the
muscular Declasse Tampa GT. These stylish cars give you more options for
getaways or just cruising in style. Plus, if police pursuits or bounty hunts
are more your thing, a brand-new Western Police Bike is added with a
matching Summer Highway Patrol outfit. The bike allows you to take on
Dispatch Work like a real lawman (or pretend to be one), while the outfit lets
you look the part. All told, the update’s new vehicles add variety to how you
drive and escape – whether you’re hauling illicit goods or patrolling the
streets.
Experience Improvements & Gameplay Tweaks
Money Fronts isn’t just
about new content – it also brings welcome quality-of-life upgrades and balance
tweaks. Rockstar notes that 50 more vehicles now get a Missile Lock-On
Jammer for extra defense in shootouts. Mission replays become smoother too,
as you can now skip several cutscenes. Competitive players will love
that all Arena Point rewards are doubled, so you earn RP faster in Arena
War matches. In the open world, the global sell-mission timer has been delayed
in public lobbies, giving solo sellers more time to complete missions, and the
annoying Boxville van has been removed from Biker sell missions. These tweaks,
together with the new fronts and cars, make the overall gameplay experience
better and more streamlined.
GTA+ Members: Exclusive Rewards
Subscribers to GTA+ get
extra perks with the Money Fronts update. Most notably, GTA+ members get
early access to the brand-new Överflöd Suzume supercar – letting
you race this exotic ride before anyone else. On top of that, GTA+ players earn
two free spins per day on the Casino’s Lucky Wheel (a double-up from the
usual one spin) for bonus cash and prizes. In short, Money Fronts
rewards VIP players with the latest supercar and faster chances to win in-game
goodies, making the update even sweeter for GTA+ subscribers.
Rockstar has packed Money
Fronts with both cool new content and helpful improvements. By running your
own money laundering network, juggling Heat, and cruising in the fresh
vehicles, players will find plenty to do from day one. Mark your calendar for June
17, 2025, and get ready to grow your criminal empire in GTA Online’s Money
Fronts update.
