Rockstar Games has announced a new content update for the multiplayer component of Grand Theft Auto V, Grand Theft Auto Online. The update launches next week.

The new Smuggler's Run update is said to be the next big update for Grand Theft Auto Online and follows up the previous Gunrunning update.

With a name that's a nod to an an early Rockstar Games classic Smuggler's Run, the update opens up the air corridors above Los Santos and Blaine County, providing new business opportunities while introducing a range of planes, choppers and even ultralights as highly viable options for transporting criminal cargo across the state.

The new update is said to deliver a "massive" range of new, customizable aircraft perfect for any mission along with expansive new aircraft hangars in which to stash your fleet of fantastic flying machines.

These new properties are also the HQ from which you manage your smuggling business, guided by Nervous Ron and assisted by Charlie, your new mechanic, who'll take care of your collection of exotic aircraft.

The Grand Theft Auto Online Smuggler's Run update launches on August 29, 2017, for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
