The holidays are fast approaching and Rockstar seems to have Holiday-inspired DLC in mind as well when it comes to "GTA V" updates. Additionally, the much-anticipated release of online Heists may soon be over with the discovery of a cryptic code in the 1.04 title update.

According to the International Business Times fans were disappointed with the release of title update 1.04 for the PS4 version of "GTA V." Gamers were reportedly expecting for online Heists to be included in the 1.14GB patch. However, it only contained fixes to bugs and minor issues.

However, user NillxModz from se7ensins claims a slight tweak from the latest Tunable file for the 1.04 title update for "Grand Theft Auto V" reveals a code hinting of the release of online Heists. Likewise, a Holiday DLC could also be in the works for "GTA V Online" based on the leaked codes below. NillxModz adds these codes "contains variables that confirm a Christmas DLC is underway."

"MP_HOLIDAY_SNOW_DLC_CONTENT_ON_OFF":[{"value": false}],

"MP_HOLIDAY_CLOTHING_DLC_CONTENT_ON_OFF":[{"value": false}],

"MP_HOLIDAY_CNC_BONUS_DLC_CONTENT_ON_OFF":[{"value": false}],

"MP_HOLIDAY_DLC_CONTENT_ON_OF":[{"value": false}],

Apparently, there's no denying the holiday-inspired connotations from the first two codes. According to iDigitalTimes the 1.04 title update for "GTA V" will clearly include a Holiday DLC pack. The mention of the word "snow" is pretty straightforward while the use of the word "clothing" calls for Christmas-inspired wardrobes such as sweaters.

Additionally, the site claims the third code "CNC Bonus" could also stand for the multiplayer game mode "Cops n' Crooks." However, the last code "DLC Content" is vague and does not clearly identify the exact Holiday-themed content. But writer Bob Fekete is certain it pertains to the release of the much-awaited Heists DLC for "GTA V Online."

"I say yes, it is. Heists were promised to be included in the first update for GTA Online after the game was launched on PS4 and Xbox One," he said.

The IBTimes claims Heists could also be released sometime in December and speculates for it to be included in the 1.19 update for "GTA V Online." It could even be released before Christmas. However, Rockstar has yet to announce details regarding the contents of the patch. Likewise, it's still uncertain whether developers will activate the codes pertaining to the Holiday DLC in the 1.04 title update.
