New Era of Crime Begins
The summer 2025 update for GTA Online introduces “Money Fronts” – a brand-new way to build a criminal empire using legitimate businesses as covers for laundering operations. This update revamps both passive income and action-packed missions.
What Are Money Fronts?
Players now have access to three fully operational business fronts that mask illegal activity:
- Hands On Car Wash – your first operational hub in Strawberry.
- Smoke on the Water – a functional cannabis shop in La Puerta.
- Higgins Helitours – a private air transport service with hidden deals.
Each front opens up a range of unique missions, including covert deliveries, laundering drops, and asset recoveries – all while avoiding heat from authorities. A new “risk meter” mechanic challenges you to manage exposure and efficiency.
