Rockstar Games has announced more details on the next big update for GTA 5’s multiplayer mode, including the long-awaited return of Michael De Santa.
Michael is one of GTA 5’s three main playable characters, and fans have been waiting for a long time to interact with him again after the events of the main story. A GTA Online expansion from 2021 confirmed that Michael was still alive. In the soon-to-release A Safehouse in the Hills expansion, he’s back–and he looks older. Take a look for yourself in the trailer below.
All the way back in 2013, Rockstar Games said it would release more story content that extended the stories of Michael, Franklin, and Trevor. A previous DLC for GTA Online focused on Franklin, but plans for a Trevor-focused expansion were apparently canceled.

This new DLC sounds exciting! It’s always great to see fresh content added to GTA 5, especially with beloved characters like Michael returning. Looking forward to seeing how it enhances the multiplayer experience!
the return of Michael. His character really adds depth to the storyline. Iβm curious to see how theyβll incorporate his backstory into the missions this time around!
I agree, Michael definitely brings a unique perspective to the game! Itβll be interesting to see how his storyline evolves with the new DLC and what new challenges heβll face. Rockstar always finds a way to keep the narrative engaging.
