Both games regularly get updates to add new objectives, missions, and content for players to find and enjoy, and a recent blog post from Rockstar gives us some insight into future plans.

On July 28th, Red Dead Online will be getting a relatively large update with a Frontier Pursuit, a new Role and Outlaw Past, and a ton of changes and fixes from the community's feedback. A little later on, GTA Online will also get a sizeable update that will offer new experiences from the game's existing (and massive) pool of content.

Finally, major updates are planned for later this year, with GTA Online reportedly receiving its "biggest ever update" which should overhaul Heists in a big way.
