Grand Theft Auto Online has seen a resurgence due to Rockstar’s decision to spin the game away from Grand Theft Auto 5 when the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S remasters came out earlier in the year. Initially released in 2013, GTA Online started life as the multiplayer mode within Grand Theft Auto 5 and the developers have been supporting the game with regular updates, offers, and bonuses.
Despite early problems, Grand Theft Auto Online has continued to grow for nearly a decade. The 30-player online experience is set in San Andreas where players can freely roam about the map, where almost anything is possible, from choosing to grow their status as a high-profile gangster, or maybe even creating race courses based on Mario Kart tracks.
Posted on Rockstar’s official Twitter account, the developers have announced that the missions based around A Superyacht Life found within GTA Online will be rewarded with a 4xGTA$ and RP. There’s an additional reward of $100k per completion of the Salvage, Icebreaker, or D-Day missions. Players who are in the market for the Galaxy Super Yacht will find the ship has a 50% discount this week, coming in at $3M. Gamers who complete all six A Superyacht Life missions along with buying the floating apartment will get a rebate of $1M within 72 hours of completion.
Along with the offers found within these missions, there are other bonuses to be found within San Andreas. There is a 2X GTA$ and RP for completing contract missions given by crime boss Martin Madrazo. Players taking part in this week’s Street Race Series can compete to win the Vapid GB200 by securing a top 3 finish on three consecutive days. A host of land-based vehicles are also on sale including the Grotti Itali GTO and the Principe Lectro. Both have large discounts against the normal price, although they are relatively tame compared to some of the strange things available in GTA Online.
Fan favorites Drop Zone, Top Fun, and Vehicle Vendetta have been added back into GTA Online, and players who take on the war for territory in Drop Zone will be rewarded with a 3x GTA$ bonus. These consistent updates and offers are in stark contrast to Red Dead Online where players are campaigning to save the experience.
However, Rockstar’s continued support of Grand Theft Auto Online will certainly boost many players’ confidence and tide them over until Grand Theft Auto 6 is eventually released.
Grand Theft Auto Online is out now for PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
