This also seems to confirm that the ending that Michael, Trevor, and Franklin survived is the canon ending. Michael De Santa, one of the three protagonists of Grand Theft Auto V, is still alive after the events of the main story, has apparently been confirmed (or reconfirmed) via the new GTA Online DLC.

In The Contract, Franklin is directing at a movie studio and says, “Man, shit, I know one of the producers around here. I hope his ass isn't at work today. ” This is believed to be a reference to Michael. Fans will remember that he became a movie producer in GTA V, and this line of dialogue seems to confirm that Michael is still alive and doing that job.

GTA V had three story endings, and in one of them, Michael dies. In another, Trevor dies. So this seems to suggest that the third ending – where Franklin, Trevor and Michael survived – is the canon ending. As Kotaku reminds us, a previous update to GTA Online may have already confirmed this, and Michael's survival, but now we have even more evidence that Michael is still kicking and making movies.
The contract is described as a "GTA Online Story", which suggests that there may be additional installments to come, but that's just speculation for now. Rockstar announced in 2013 that it would add new story-focused DLC featuring the heroes of GTA V.
