With next-gen starting this Friday with the launch of the Xbox One, Rockstar is hoping you aren't too sidetracked with the shiny devices with news that their free Beach Bum update for the online portion of Grand Theft Auto 5 is now available.

Included in the new update is a number of additions to the chaotic multiplayer from new vehicles to hit the sand dunes through to new jobs and customisation options. Feel like your character is missing some bright Hawaiian shirts? Don't worry, Rockstar has you covered there.

The world of Grand Theft Auto Online gets even deeper with the Beach Bum update, now available on both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. In order to keep GTA Online flexible and constantly evolving, the game is built to receive new content in a variety of ways including major paid expansions at specific points across the year, dropping additional content via regular title updates, and even the instant and seamless addition of jobs via the Rockstar Social Club. The Beach Bum content comes via a free update to GTA Online and Grand Theft Auto V's Story Mode as part of the latest automatic Title Update (1.06), so just fire up your console to download it.

Two new weapons will also be added into the game; the compact yet deadly SNS Pistol and the brutal new Broken Bottle melee weapon which is quite effective at delivering the appropriate message in up close and personal encounters - both available in single-player and multiplayer.
