Ranking All Major GTA Online Updates From Worst To Best-10 Years Of GTA Online! 10 Year Anniversary! 

They gave the best DLC for solo players to destroy it later, I stopped playing Cayo Perico since they made the dead body detectable, the decreased payout is like nail to the coffin for me

Professional forgot to mention the primary reason why the san andreas mercenaries dlc was one of the worst: the removal of almost 200 vehicles from the in game stores

The reason why Los Santos Summer Special was so small was because Rockstar had planned for the Cops’n Crooks DLC to release as the summer DLC. They cancelled the DLC due to all the controversy with police officers at the time.

I think the worst thing about Cayo Perico is how it became its own kind of mini game for so many players. For that reason and others, I think the Agency is the best DLC

I still think the Mercenaries update is worse than the Arena War since it essentially "deleted" content by removing and paywalling almost 200 cars.

For me, Tuners DLC would have been great as you said, if instead of Sessanta and Moodyman they bringed characters more related to a mechanic and street racer role, examples: Hao, Benny or even Mimi and refine the dialogue to be more direct or skipping the cursing from over and over of some "Wannabe tough gangsters type of stupidity"

one of the best updates they did was allowing us to sell in invite only sessions i agree

The funny thing is that updates like Cunning Stunts are extremely popular in the spanish community, tons of popular streamers and youtubers with millions of viewers play these on a regular basis and there's even some that have managed to gain a massive audience just by playing these on a daily basis. It's strange how some DLC's are recieved in other non english speaking communities

Arena wars should've gotten a permanent 3x or 4x cash and rp. Then maybe it wouldn't be so trash. But even if that did happen, the huge paywall will still hold it back.

my favorite dlc is the contract because you get Franklin, Imani, Lamar, Dr Dre, dj pooh, and the most important character, chop. the dr Dre heist is pretty fun, along with the short trip missions. a very cool assortment of vehicles, my favorite being the patriot mil-spec.

The Cayo nerf.... who in Satan's crack is controlling what happens at Rockstar?!

"bUt SaN aNdReAs HaD a JeTpAcK iN iT sO tHe OpPrEsSoR mK2 bElOnGs In GtA oNlInE" -some griefers, most likely completely forgetting that it is by far the rare exception, and also its offensive capabilities are severely limited to a pistol or a micro smg. oppressor mk2 is just one among many futuristic vehicles in gta online, and its offensive capabilities are just broken.

2013 was definitely the worst as I remember having issues logging in and staying in a stable lobby. The final straw was when my original character was deleted and I lost progress. With the modder situation developing at the time I didn't return to GTAO until the casino update in 2019.

Whenever I do any contract DLC involving Sessanta and KDJ, I'd put on my headphones and listen to your lore videos to drown out their annoying dialogues lol

As shitty as the arena wars mode is, the cars are some of the most fun vehicles to use in free mode; Launching cars across the city, shunt hopping, sumo with friends, etc.

I have something to say to you, and that is you’re an amazing RU-vidr! You’re honest, you’re fair, you don’t sugarcoat anything and I’m glad you were honest about the recent “update” for GTA online, which it was outrageous. I don’t play GTA online anymore, due to the massive downgrade it’s been getting lately. I’m always hoping that GTA online will be a ghost town one day. But I can only hope. Someone like “Gtamen” (Another GTA RU-vidr) is the kind of RU-vidr who would most likely tells you paying Rockstar $500,000 a week just to play the game, is a great way to gain more “experience”. He is the person whom I do not look up to. Downright despise even. No matter the massive downfall for GTA Online, you go through it and find what little amount of positivity there’s left in that game. Keep doing what you’re doing, and you’ll go beyond then a million subscribers. Much love and respect Have a good one.

The hot tub conversation between Sessanta and KDJ is probably the cringiest conversation from the tuners update, or probably in the entirety of GTA.

Rip the cayo, I always knew this was coming. And frankly I'm shocked it didn't happen sooner. I guess El Rubio got the last laugh :(

The Doomsday Heist is my favorite update. It has great music, it's very cinematic, it has great action, it added more mk2 weapons, it added amazing vehicles, and it's about the only thing left in Online that can present a challenge to me.

The only reason why I bought the arena is so that Bryony doesn't keep calling me everytime I log online it's annoying!

Jus FYI, the los santos special was supposed to be the cops n' crooks update, but because of the murder of george floyd Rockstar thought it would be a bad idea to release a police themed uptade

My top 5 best updates: 5- Bikers 4- Import Export 3- Heists 2- Cayo Perico Heist 1- Diamond Casino Heist Small update honorable mention: - San Andreas Open Wheel GP *Aka F1 update :)

Two weeks since you had this video out and no one pointed out something you forgot about Gun Running. That was the update that changed how VIP worked. Instead of needing a million in your bank account, you now only needed $50k to start up an organization. That was the update that "fixed" the VIP mechanic of GTAO. You talked about how it was in the past (which I'm thankful for as tons of people forget), but you forgot to mention when it was changed. Professional, broski, I can't believe you forgot to mention it. I can't believe I forgot to watch this sooner, but that's another story. Even with that error, thanks for the video.

The main reason behind the filght school was to give people a way to get better at flying to help with the OG heists. I don't really know how much it helped with that cause every time I tried to do any set up with a plane or heli people would crash all the time! Back then I remember a lot of people not even being able to land planes consistently. It's the main reason why to this day I insist on being the one to fly every chance I get. I GOT PTSD!

I started playing last year which is why I think almost all updates except the arena were great updates. After doing cayo, I was constantly thinking what should I buy next ceo office, biker, agency, bunker, nightclub, autoshop, arcade etc. This is the game I felt truly had massive content and it was an amazing experience.

I actually managed to go to a car meet once in a public lobby, it was a nice 15 minutes of seeing everyone’s cars and just being friendly. But just that 15 minutes.

Bikers was the update that brought me back to the game after a long hiatus to GTAO but I completely ignored the Los Santos Summer Special as my dad died a month before

I can only imagine how GTA Online will be for GTA 6 whenever it comes out

Off topic but pro pulled out the old intro when he use too sit in the CEO office which reminds me of his old money guides.

I wish Rockstar would make a GTA Online Mafia Updates and maybe like Gravetti or Petrovic or one of the five families of Liberty City and the storyline could be one of the five families want your character to help them to get into Los Santos.

In my personal opinion i liked the Executives and other criminals update, just because of the yacht, sometimes, i want to get away from the chaos that is los santos, i'm protected from arial strikes.other than that yea the summer special update was boring i did like the final mission in the thunder storm

It was sad hearing how they nerfed the Cayo Perico Heist. I enjoyed every moment of it when it came out. I always made sure to set up a new one each time after completing the previous so it was always on hard difficulty for the higher payout. I remember doing the door glitch constantly to get the gold bars while solo. I grinded the hell out of the Cayo Heist. It is the reason why I was able to afford so much stuff. Some businesses I didn't have yet, business upgrades, vehicles etc.

As someone who came in only at the Alien War, this is incredibly fascinating to watch. A lot has happened before and a lot has happened after. I’m curious for what’s next.

Arena wars is underrated, it's just so different from what you expect outta playing gta that not many people go out of their way often to play it.

one thing they have never done in online really is the epsilon program. yes you have formage when you first get killed in online appear but no content with missions etc, they did have michael in story mode but nothing in online. maybe nothing good would work there, but seems like it might have some possibilities

Not finished yet, but I’m baffled vip/ceo are only in average, I think vip/ceo cargo are the some of the biggest/ most important updates

Hey professional how are you doing, happy belated 10th bday to GTA online 🥳. You put a lot of dedication to your videos and I admire that so much! I was talking to GhillieMaster in one of his GTA online streams yesterday celebrating the 10th anniversary of online like you and I told him that "The Professional hasn't uploaded his video about the 10th anniversary of GTA online maybe he's taking time to pay a great homage to it" and then he replied saying "maybe he's not gonna make one" and then I said to him that " The professional said he's gonna make a special video about GTA 5". You're like the rockstar of GTA content creators pro you put a lot of thought and dedication in your videos and it shows clearly. This ain't a dig at other content creators but you like to do stuff differently from other content creators and you seem more thoughtful about the content u put out which I'm a fan of! 👏🏾👏🏾

this is one of the best videos on the channel it brought back so many memories

I knew he was going to one day upload this video, every time when he got asked on what his favorite DLC is/was on livestreams

Hey, Profesional, you should do one of these with the single player story missions. It would be interesting where you would rank the missions

The problem of gta online is nobody playing hundreds of deathmatches, team deathmatches, lts etc made by R* and especially made by players in creator. Everyone wanna Cayo Perico with 6 millions payout solo like wtf is this a multiplayer game really?

I like doing Doomsday heists as they are a little more challenging but the bugs like ULP or Agent 14 not moving when they should or CEO quitting when they don't quit.

I think Doomsday Heist was the last genuinely great update for GTAO. That's when the game was at it's peak. And since RDR2 was around the corner when it came out, I fully expected that to be the last major update, and everything would be shifted towards GTA6 and RDO. In hindsight that was obviously wishful thinking but considering the current state of GTAO, I wish that was the actual case. Before anybody mentions Cayo Perico, I will concede and say that was the best money-making update in the game, even moreso than the Casino Heist one. I still think Doomsday Heist tops it but I will agree that Cayo Perico is not that far behind Doomsday Heist.

I had completely forgot about the summer special until you just mentioned it

Lmaooooo Cayo is boring because the rewards are not worth it anymore. Edit: the Elite challenge went from 100K to 50k🤦🏾‍♂️🤣

This video is amazing but I have one very small note. I think if you overlayed some silent trailer footage when introducing that update instead of having a cut to the full trailer would just be the cherry on top of this already incredible video

Loved the video Pro. Keep up the great work!

Appreciate you for this video. Definitely worth watching 👍

I would've placed the San Andreas Merceneries DLC as the worst update by far The notion that already existing content can just be yanked away without even a shred of justification (like a pissy copyright holder) is *extremely dangerous* The gaming industry has been allowed to go wild with loot boxes, battle passes and unplayable releases This is another front that we can't afford to lose

Being able to sell in private lobbies was got me back into playing gta online

Yea i found u through gta online n ive stayed with u ever since i dnt watch everything you do cuz some of the games just dnt interest but i loved all the content u did that was an interesting to me

Happy 10th Anniversary GTA Online. Honestly, my number 1 best DLC ever made for GTA Online was actually The Contract. For me, it was the closest thing to what I imagined to be a perfect GTA Online update! It is so good actually that I run between the Dr Dre story and businesses as my GTA money method. Especially so since the Cayo guards detecting dead bodies became a thing… The contract DLC is just such a beautiful update for the following reasons: - Dr Dre story. - Freemode activities (Security Contracts and Franklin’s Payphone missions). - Imani Tech vehicle upgrades. - Franklin & Lamar co-op missions. - Nothing ridiculously overpowered or overpriced. - Missions & activities are well-balanced. - Something for both solo and co-op players. - Even the most annoying missions are tolerable compared to the annoying missions in other DLCs. - Not really set up to milk micro-transaction sales.

The worst thing about all these DLC's is they broke the game economy from bad to worse. All kind of pay walls to boost sharkcard sales. And the countless bugs that came for free with them. OMG!!!, reloaded this game a zillion times.....😢

The tuners DLC got me back into the game in the first place, so it has to be in my top 3. Cayo Perico dlc, easily because I was able to afford all the cars from the tuners DLC. I actually enjoyed the drug wars dlc, especially getting the acid lab up and running.

Hey, Professional. You mentioned the new missions for the special cargo buisness and I have to a tip for you. If you source from your terrorbyte you can avoid the new missions entirely. This might also work from the arcade, but i haven't tested it enough.

The bounty were funny John wick style awesome vid

Demolition Derby in Saints Row 2 was what they should have done for Arena Wars

I’m really interested in this video. Upgrading from Xbox 360 to Ps4 back during Christmas 2016. Happy anniversary btw guys!

Honestly i dont care about this game anymore but i admidit that if it was not for one of your guides i would have never discovered your channel and the sniper elite series thanks to you

Man. This game came out when i had just started my last year of HS. Of all the games i wish i played more of since graduation, this would definitely be in the top 3.

Vincent deserved to get let go for that haircut alone 💀

Great video as always, professional!

1:06:50 Twice? Thats lucky for you. My plane guy blew up over and over again. I decided to be the plane guy instead but then the people inside the prison kept dying :(

I use the Oppressor MK2 for grinding, but even I don’t think it belongs in the game. GTA is a game about street crime, not being a discount Master Chief. It’s annoying when you’re minding your own business and some fool decides to attack you with it. It’s such a cheap way to get kills.

Every gta online player had a fortunate son moment when he mentioned oppresser mk 2

I really liked arena wars, when it was on 2x Dollars it was so much fun with many ppl

Man I was in High School when GTA 5 was announced, it was the only thing me and every other guy was talking about, then came online, and everyone liked it. But it was heist was announced I remember most, I was in the weight room, and all the guys and I where talking about how awesome the OG heists where going to be. Man I miss those days.

I agree most with of the list but the one thing I don’t agree with is after hours I think it was a great DLC, meaningful characters, great business and the oppressor mk2 saved me a bunch of time grinding over the years. I feel like if you’re going to take after hours down a tear then you have to take the doomsday heist down a tear because it added the orbital canon and the deluxo.But great video I love these tier list vids. Keep up the good work👍and btw I thought you were crazy to put tuners in average, but now I understand completely😂 2 complete degenerates in sessanta and kdj

it's funny when professorial being throwing them roasts

The Contract is definitely the peak of GTA Online. It should have been the send-off. However, it’s great to have Yusuf back with The Chop Shop.

I love After Hours the most for me very personally The nightclub fits so much with own character who's originally a musician and probably the reason I expanded her character into an enterprising criminal. I loved roleplaying her masking as a night club owner who secretly has system of accruing contrabands and valuables. I love the Terrobyte and the fact Paige made it, is actually quite interesting. I loved the 3 different nightclub delivery vehicles. It's really sad though on one hand, I find the Oppressor Mk 2, on its own, a very aesthetically pleasing and useful but fun vehicle, but I agree with the consensus that it just doesn't fit the GTA genre and timeline, and its abuse by griefers.

This was exactly the video I needed ur locked in to GTA V for sure.

Hi professional, love your content

You know cayo perico has done the most damage since the oppressor update. No one wants to do anything else now besides cayo perico and grief while hopping in private sessions to complete passive work

To be honest, I'd rate it this way: 1. Cayo Perico Heist 2. Diamond Casino Heist 3. The Contract 4. Doomsday Heist 5. Heists 6. Bikers 7. Gunrunning 8. Finance and Felony 9. Tuners these updates are quite nice but with Cayo being nerfed to oblivion, it's just sad. Been playing 400 hours since the Epic free game scenario. Don't get me wrong, GTA online is good but the wrongs outweigh the good things, which is so sad. And GTA+ and PS5/XSX exclusive content made it so bad unfortunately 😔

Awesome video Pro I hit the like button. Also I have a Let’s Play Idea it’s a game similar to Sleeping Dogs it’s called “True Crime Streets Of La” it has more than one ending and I’m wondering which one you’ll get I hope you give it a try Pro.

nah, massive dissagree with arena war, it was so much worse than you gave it credit for. Back on the forums, there was a bunch of people, me included, that wished for the maze bank arena to be opened for YEARS. there were threads, there were youtube videos theorizing about it, there was so many cool ideas thrown about like monster trucks to deal damage to the surroundings, demo derby to deal damage to others by crashing in to them, rally cross races, dirt bike races, dirt oval races, nascar races, and so on. People might not have realised it but there was a sizable community that was wanting the arena. And what did they give us? An overpriced, paywalled, needlessly weaponised update that ruined the vehicles with new handling flags, too many cars of one type so none of them even feel special, gamemodes that dont pay, a progression system that is *literally* impossible to progress through natural gameplay, poorly designed/balanced/just unfun gamemodes that no one event wants to play, RC bandito that ruined the design of RC vehicles and has become a cancer in pvp, phone contacts that literally did nothing (and couldnt be removed at the time, remember), Laser weapons that let low level players access a minigun as long as they paid half a million, massive powercreep in racing with the itali GTO, Toros, and Clique, and ultimately was a slap in the face to the community. ill also say that mercinaries was worse than you gave it credit for too. removing vehicles aside (which is fucking atrocious), the dlc added some story missions you will do 1 time for the story but is also paywalled by the terminal which costs far more than you make with a 1 time play through of those missions. it also featured way more power than was needed with the raiju, and the avenger was already overpowered why did they give it more? it also added more needless nerfs to cayo, more changes that just harmed the regular playerbase more than the real target of the change, and the vinewood car dealer that was just another push for gta+. and *still* no E&E content on pc. if we had that there might be some silver lining that came close to the negative of the rest of the update.

Saw that new professional upload and had to click. Hope you’re doing well 👍🏻👍🏻

My opinion of the content and short reasons as to why My best updates are: Cayo Perico (big money and map expansion) After Hours (passive pay from both areas) The Contract (love letter to GTA V story fans) LS Tuners (cool cars and cool min heists) My Great updates are: Heists (OG fun times) Diamond Heist (Cool approaches) Doomsday Heists (Cool story and good pay) Import/Export (Cool concept and ok pay) My Average updates are: Bikers (good money) Criminal Enterprises (I like the IAA agent thing- hoped it was better expanded and more missions) Diamond Casino Story (Good story and new location) Gunrunning (cool new ammo) Everything not mentioned is in the bad updates

ok so i just got a ps5 is there much point in me transferring my character from my ps4

you forgot to mention why san andreas mercenaries was the worst which is the removal of so many vehicles to try and sell gta plus

would love to see a video showing your stats in the game like playtime and things of the sort.

Best dlc for me and it still is a top 3 dlc for me and that’s gun running, second place goes to when the ceo buildings came out, third is the biker business

At 10:32 the guy working on the car reminds me of the mechanic you work for in GTA 3

Thank god for the private selling opportunity. Early today I just finished selling my weapons for 1million

KDJ and Sessanta feels like a 14 year old wrote them, while also embodying the stereotype of black people who only talk in ebonics.

Yeah, tuners update (with KDJ & Sessanta) is what got me to play with my game sound off. Only turn it on when playing any mode where I have to hear lock-on sound. Never going back

Hotring circuits are some of my favorite content in the game.

IMO, Diamond Casino is a lot better as a heist than Cayo Perico - a lot more interesting and more possibilities. Only thing i did Cayo for is money and solo play.

This video will forever be a classic

I’ve never seen his office so clean, it’s always full of money😭😭

38:24 The import export is the dlc that introduced the custom car garage and the 60 car garage not further adventures in finace and felony pro.

Professional sound like he never got some before cause kdj and sessanta isn’t even that annoying

Hey professional I commented on ur livestream yesterday and asked u about the mad max game and u said u played it I’m playing it now it’s a really good open world game I highly recommend u give it another try

Did anyone noticed after dlc the guys in warehouse not talking anymore? Pavel isnt talking to you when u get on the bridge as usual or say goodbye when you leave😂 what pisses me off isnt the dlc crap thats already normal i have no expectations but they always mess up something else when releasing a dlc .

Funny how the best DLCs are the ones that have little to nothing to do with the actual multiplayer aspects that are meant to be the focus of GTA Online. As we see GTA Online evolve to further be a single player game, I hope they continue this by continuing to give us quality of life improvements by making everything in the game be done by yourself, including the content that aren’t and are locked off unless you have another player with you doing it with you, such as the Casino story missions as a good example, to every single heist of old.

Hey professional what do you think of the scrapyard update, where would you place that

Just recently came back after leaving a few months after cayo heists dlc. Now im playing on pc, i will say my top 3 dlc are Casino hiest, doomsday, and after hours. Imo casino hiests are still one of the best ways to make money especially with 1 or 2 friends. Doomsday hiests added a lot to the game around the time it came out but what made that dlc special was the era it came out. That being the peak of gta online, it was just a special time to be playing gta online around 2018. Many of us including myself would be starting college, the music and vibe added into the dlc was pretty much 1:1 to current times (except no synthwave since it was making a huge comeback at this time) and the story was probably one of the best to date. This dlc may not be the best for pay but its worth playing the heist at least once. Now afterhours is a very personal pick for me because it reminded me of tbogt from gta iv albeit less bombastic in terms of presentation and for night life i still prefer the east coast night life vibe gta iv tbogt gave off (music was much better imo but this is subjective, music is still good in afterhours). However one thing that massively made after hours one of favorites is that it gives you one of the strongest passive business in the entire game. Essentially making mc businesses worth buying but not reallly wasting money upgrading and resupplying and allowing you to allocate more time into other things. With the buff to the safe and keeping popularity up with ease. Just mwah best passive business to have in general!

cunning Stunts is one of my fav , i spent most of time there .. lots lots of memories

Franklin & Lamar = actual black people KDJ & Sessanta = welcome to the pander verse
