Grand Theft Auto Online‘s next update, Transform Races, is coming out on October 17. It will add races where you can instantly transition to different vehicle types. So you could start in a car, go to a boat mid-race, and then finish in a plane.

Grand Theft Auto Online is the multiplayer component of Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto V. Despite coming out in 2013, Grand Theft Auto V was the No. 2 best-selling game in the U.S. for August. It has sold over 80 million copies over its life. Constant updates like this for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC versions have kept it relevant.

These updates also help GTA Online continue to make money. Although you can earn digital money to buy new cars and other goodies, you can also use real cash to beef up your virtual wallet.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is Rockstar’s next game. It’ll feature its own online multiplayer mode that could be another big money-maker.
