GTA Online Heists coming to all platforms "soon" says Rockstar

The long awaited, often delayed Heist missions are coming to GTA Online "soon" according to Rockstar Games.

The tiny quote comes from IGN's latest look at the online portion of the game, and gives some hope to those worried that the highly-anticipated multiplayer missions had gone completely AWOL.

Rockstar had originally promised Heists this spring, but it has since delayed any updates for more development time.

Since then there have been multiple leaks and rumours regarding Heist missions and payouts for players, but no rock-solid details from the developer.

Now as the launch of GTA 5 on PS4, Xbox One and PC looms, the question had been whether Heists will be available to everyone - including those with the last-gen versions of the game - or whether they would be limited to the new-gen systems.

The latest from IGN suggests that all consoles will be getting the promised update.
