"Grant Theft Auto 5" Online's Import/Export expansion will reportedly launch on Tuesday, Dec. 13.

According to GTA 5 Cheats, various GTA Online players have reported that the promo run of Rockstar Games, scheduled on Dec. 8 until Dec. 12, have been cut short. The online service had reportedly been interrupted on Dec. 11, and most users were unable to log in to their respective accounts. This led to the speculation that the upcoming Import/Export expansion pack, previously scheduled for launch sometime in December, will be released on Dec. 13.

Although server downtime does not always come before DLC releases, Rockstar had always been known to occasionally take down GTA Online for a short period of time in order to make preparations before the actual launch of a major update in the game's systems.

Coupled with the fact that Rockstar always released a GTA Online DLC on a Tuesday and almost half of the month had already passed, it is unlikely that Rockstar will be waiting until the end of the year to unleash the Import/Export DLC.

The upcoming GTA expansion pack, as reported by Express, is meant to build on the supply chains of "Further Adventures of Finance and Felony" and would be introducing a new range of criminal activities. The expansion will reportedly feature an expanded Executive Office Garage, Custom Auto Shop, and new sets of collectible vehicles. It will also let players store higher volumes of stolen cars, which can also be customized to be sold for huge profits.

The new Vehicle Warehouses will be able to store the importing and exporting operations of the gamers. The expanded Executive Office Garage can also store up to 60 stolen vehicles. Meanwhile, the Custom Auto Shop allows players to choose among 25 customization options when it comes to designing their vehicles.

Although nothing is set in stone, fans should wait and see if the awaited GTA 5 expansion pack will indeed arrive on Tuesday, Dec. 13.
