Rockstar Games said it's finally releasing the widely anticipated online heists to the Grand Theft Auto V multiplayer mode, GTA Online, with its upcoming update to hit all current-gen and next-gen consoles.

The online heists for GTA Online will follow the re-release of the title on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. These versions will be out Nov. 18.

Rockstar does not specifically say when exactly the online heists will come to GTA V but the developer promised it will be very soon.

Rockstar Games originally planned to launch the GTA V online heists early in 2014 but the team needed more time to build the feature. The developer said they know that many fans are eagerly waiting for the online heists release they initially planned for Spring but it was taking them more time than originally anticipated.

Rockstar apologized for the delay and promised the team is working hard to bring it to fans as soon as it can. Rockstar also said GTA Online was played by over 33.8 million people in the past year for over 2.3 billion collective hours.

The new iterations of GTA V will run in 1080p/30fps on PS4 and Xbox One. The GTA V PC version will have 4K resolution support. Draw distances have reportedly been increased and Blaine County and Los Santos feature more traffic.

GTA V PS3 and Xbox 360 players upgrading to the new versions will earn a lot of in-game benefits.

There will be a lot of changes, including 30 players being able to play together and a $500,000 in-game money boost. GTA V will have 100 new songs, improved weather and damage effects, more wildlife, weapons and activities.

Trevor, Michael and Franklin will be able to access multiple weapons and vehicles such as the Independence Day Musket, Business update's Special Carbine auto-rifle, and the Beach Bum update's Bifta dune buggy.

All vehicles from the 11 updates since GTA was released will be out in story mode. There will also be a first-person perspective and cockpit views for all the vehicles.
