'Grand Theft Auto Online' Adds Drift and Drag Race Bonuses, Triple Rewards on New Community Series Jobs, and Much More

by Rainier on Feb. 29, 2024 @ 7:54 a.m. PST

Set in the sprawling city of Los Santos and the surrounding area, Grand Theft Auto V delivers a world of unprecedented scale and detail bursting with life, from mountaintops to the depths of the ocean.

When a young street hustler, a retired bank robber and a terrifying psychopath find themselves entangled with some of the most frightening and deranged elements of the criminal underworld, the U.S. government and the entertainment industry, they must pull off a series of dangerous heists to survive in a ruthless city in which they can trust nobody, least of all each other.

Switch between the interconnected lives of Michael, Trevor and Franklin as they embark on a series of heists across Los Santos and Blaine County in the biggest, deepest and richest open world experience yet, with game world enhancements that include new wildlife, upgraded weather and damage effects, and an array of new details to discover.

Grand Theft Auto V also comes with Grand Theft Auto Online, the dynamic and ever-evolving online universe for up to 30 players, and includes all existing gameplay upgrades and content released since the launch of Grand Theft Auto Online.

Rise through the ranks to become a CEO of your own criminal empire by trading contraband or form a Motorcycle Club and rule the streets. Pull off daring co-operative Heists, enter adrenaline-fueled Stunt Races, compete in unique Adversary Modes or create your own content to play and share with the entire GTA community.

It’s pedals to the metal this week in GTA Online, where players can earn double GTA$ and RP for playing a range of race types including Drag and Drift Races – the newest circuits to hit the Southern San Andreas racing scene.

Reach Top Speeds with 2X GTA$ and RP on Drift and Drag Races

The Los Santos racing circuit is roaring with the sound of competing engines this week.

Complete successful drifts amidst the frenzy of adversarial racers and obstacles on your way to the finish line for a satisfying victory in Drift Races. Meanwhile, Drag Races call for timing the starting line burnout, changing gears to build speed, avoiding collisions, and using Nitrous strategically to leave rivals in your dust.
