The Art Studio upgrade for the GTA mansion is currently tied to a GTA$1,000,000 discount for eligible players, which strongly suggests the base price is in the high millions rather than a small add-on. Public discussion around the new mansion content is estimating it around GTA$5 million or more before discounts, but Rockstar has not clearly published a final base price yet.

Quick Scoop

  • Rockstar says the Art Studio upgrade is required to start the new Heist.
  • Players who own a mansion and log in during the promo window can get a GTA$1,000,000 discount on it.
  • Community estimates are clustering around GTA$5 million for the upgrade, though that remains speculative.

What this means

If you’re planning ahead, a safe bankroll target is probably several million above the discounted amount, since Rockstar is framing the studio as an expensive mandatory upgrade. The current best public signal is the promo discount plus forum estimates, not an official final sticker price.

Bottom line

Short answer: expect the Art Studio mansion upgrade to cost around GTA$5 million-ish before discount , with a GTA$1,000,000 promo discount available for eligible mansion owners.
