GTA Online update as Rockstar begins Red Dead 2 Online plans

Fans have been enjoying the release of a big new money update in GTA Online this week.

Rockstar Games launched a new bonus for GTA 5 fans that can help fatten up their in-game bank balances.

GTA Online players can receive a $750k bonus simply by logging in on PS4, Xbox One and PC.

And if that wasn’t good enough, there is a subsequent GTA$100k for each additional day players log in, adding up to a seven-day total bonus of GTA$1.35M.

The good news is that this will be delivered to Maze Bank accounts by December 3rd, meaning a spending bonanza for many early next month.

“Stuff your Maze Bank account full of bonus GTA$ this holiday week, just by playing GTA Online. Starting today you’ll earn a GTA$750K bonus just for jumping on, along with a subsequent GTA$100K for each additional day through November 26th.

“Play all seven days and get GTA$1.35M, then treat yourself to the best of what Los Santos merchants have to offer next week once all this bonus cash is deposited in your Maze Bank account.”

There are also several discounts to be found on vehicles, as well as bonuses to pick up on different game modes.

There are price reductions on different items, including the Overflod Entity XXR, Vapid GB200, Nagasaki Shotaro and more abound, along with Aircraft, Properties, Command Units.

“In Sumo (Remix), space is at a premium. As the safe zone shifts and shrinks around the map, you’ll need to think fast and smash hard (as expertly demonstrated below) to make sure your team comes out on top.

“Sure you may lose a few friends in the process, but you’ll do so with the knowledge that you’re earning double GTA$ & RP through November 26th.

“Hunt down your target in Search & Destroy or head to the airfield to take on a rival MC in a Joust deathmatch with Double GTA$ & RP in all Biker Work & Challenges.

“And if you’re looking to push some product across Southern San Andreas grab double rewards on Biker Sell Missions for the same period.

“Plus all Bodyguards & Associates taking part in organisation activities this week earn twice the pay for sticking by their employers.

“Also doling out double rewards this week is the vehicular collision sport Running Back (Remix).”

Another massive Rockstar Games project also looks set to start later this week, this time for Red Dead Redemption 2.

A new multiplayer mode that will rival that of GTA Online will be going live before the end of November.

This was established by Take-Two Interactive earlier this month, although no further information has been provided.

There have been reports of certain Red Dead Online achievements being unlocked, suggesting that live server testing is underway.

Fans should receive some kind of update later this week on what is planned for the new multiplayer mode.

What we know so far is that it will be a beta on PS4 and Xbox One, which will likely suffer from the usual server troubles and gameplay crashes.

What Rockstar Games has said so far about the Red Dead Online beta:

“Red Dead Online is a new online connected experience set against the backdrop of Red Dead Redemption 2’s enormous open world.

“As with most online experiences of this size and scale, there will inevitably be some turbulence at launch and we look forward to working with our amazing and dedicated community to share ideas, help us fix teething problems and work with us to develop Red Dead Online into something really fun and innovative.

“Access to Red Dead Online is free to anyone with a copy of Red Dead Redemption 2 on either PlayStation 4 or Xbox One.

“Using the gameplay of Red Dead Redemption 2 as a foundation, Red Dead Online will be ready to be explored alone or with friends, and will also feature constant updates and adjustments to grow and evolve this experience for all players.”
