What I found most interesting about the Safehouse & Hill update isn’t just the content itself, but how Rockstar chose to separate it. The KnoWay (Avi) missions and Michael’s Home Sweet Home mission are connected narratively, but they are not treated as a single mandatory chain. That decision says a lot about how GTA Online is evolving.

The Avi missions are open to everyone. No mansion required, no expensive buy-in. You play through four setups and a finale, get a full mini-story, and walk away with a strong payout. For most players, that alone is a complete experience. Nothing feels missing or unfinished.

Michael’s mission, on the other hand, is clearly positioned as optional endgame content. To unlock Home Sweet Home, you must own a mansion. Once you do, you need to watch the property’s introductory cutscene, complete the KnoWay missionline for the first time, and then return to free roam—without going back to your mansion. At some point, Avi Schwarzman will call you.

That waiting period is actually one of my favourite touches. Some players get the call within minutes; others wait up to 45 minutes. It feels organic, like a real contact reaching out when the timing makes sense. It also prevents players from brute-forcing the unlock and keeps immersion intact.

What I like most is that no one is pressured into buying a mansion just to “finish” the update. The Avi missions don’t dangle Michael content in your face as a constant reminder. They respect your time and your in-game finances. If you’re ready for the next step, it’s there. If not, you still got a great experience.

For British friends who enjoy GTA for its characters and satire as much as its chaos, this structure is worth appreciating. It’s not about locking fun behind money—it’s about offering layers of engagement based on how invested you want to be. You can learn more now from rsvsr.com.
