Rockstar Celebrates Record Breaking Holiday Season
It’s no secret that Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2 have been insane successes, and Rockstar is giving something back in return for a popular holiday season. The Diamond Casino Heist set new player numbers in Grand Theft Auto Online that haven’t been seen since the Casino itself released last July. GTA V also enjoyed record engagement on Youtube while Red Dead Online experienced the highest peak numbers in December following the launch of Moonshiners with even higher numbers in January.
To thank their players, Rockstar is giving GTA Online players $2 million in GTA bucks, with Red Dead Online players receiving free access to frontier pursuit roles, role item giveaways, and more.

Lost GTA Online Characters Are Gone For Good
Last week saw a patch roll out for Grand Theft Auto Online to fix a rather nasty bug resulting in characters not being displayed. When the bug first popped up, Rockstar acted quickly and warned users not to create new characters in the missing slots. In a followup comment posted just a few days ago, Rockstar Games has revealed that the characters lost due to the bug can not be recovered.
For those asking about their lost characters or rank, those will not be able to be restored so we sincerely hope that this cash stimulus we’re giving out this month will help you get back on your feet or to make your new life in Los Santos & Blaine extra sweet.
To compensate players for launch issues, lost characters, and lost vehicles, Rockstar is giving half a million dollars to anyone who plays GTA Online in October. The money will be doled out in two halves, with the first dropping this week and the second by the end of the month.

Rockstar Giving Every Player $500,000 For Their Troubles
What? You didn’t think that was in real money, did you? Grand Theft Auto Online has no doubt had an MMO’s worth of launch issues: cars going missing, characters being deleted, progress not being recorded, etc. As Rockstar Games continues to smooth out bugs and issue patches, the company has revealed that they will be compensating users with half a million bucks to be distributed in two bundles over the course of the next few weeks. All you have to do is play GTA Online at some point in October to qualify for the money, as well as updating the game to patch 1.04 or above.
Grand Theft Auto Online is currently free for all people who buy GTAV, and Rockstar plans on gradually changing the game into its own world with its own gameplay mechanics, locations, and more.

False Alarm: GTA Online Is GTA V Online
It’s a knee jerk reaction to assume that whenever a company places the word Online in their title, that the game will be an MMO. Grand Theft Auto Online, announced previously this week, hasn’t turned out to be the MMO that we thought it would be, but the real answer isn’t any less disappointing. Set to be launched October 1st, GTA Online moves forward from the multiplayer mode available in GTA IV, allowing up to sixteen players per server to run around and pretty much do as they please.
What sets GTA Online apart from GTA IV’s online mode is the emphasis on user generated content. Using an in-game editor, players will be able to put together races, deathmatch maps, missions, and more. As players play the online mode, they will obtain money and be able to progress through a separate story mode, meeting new faces and taking on missions that can be completed cooperatively. Rockstar Games has noted that while GTA Online will be very similar to GTA V when it launches in October, over time the title will be updated with new locations, new gameplay mechanics, and new features to set it apart from the single player story.
As far as pricing goes, we have nothing to go off of other than a comment that GTA Online will be free for those who buy GTA V. How the game will handle microtransactions will have to be seen.
