It’ll also come with a VIP membership to the Casino which includes valet, limo service, and access to high-limit tables.
There’s also a tier membership that will further upgrade your penthouse suite going from Silver to Diamond which will progress as you complete the story and then further on via the cooperative missions. Among other perks along the way, getting Diamond status will get you the Annis S80RR supercar.
Also, there will be new cooperative and online story missions as well that will involve you defending the casino owners, the Cheng family, from a hostile takeover from an aggressive Texan business family, the Duggans.
