'Grand Theft Auto Online' (ALL) Gets Festive With Snowfall, New Comet Retro Custom, Juggernaut Mode and more

by Rainier on Dec. 23, 2016 @ 9:43 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.

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.

The new generation upgrades also extend to Grand Theft Auto Online, an ever-evolving Grand Theft Auto universe. Rise through the criminal ranks by banding together to complete Jobs for cash, purchase properties, vehicles and character upgrades, compete in traditional competitive modes, or create your own content to play and share with the Grand Theft Auto community.

All new content and gameplay created since the launch of Grand Theft Auto Online, including an extensive array of new Jobs, an arsenal of new weapons, scores of new vehicles, new properties and player customizations will also be available for the PS4, Xbox One and PC with much more to come. In addition, the current community of players will have the ability to transfer their Grand Theft Auto Online characters and progression to their choice of PS4, Xbox One or PC.


Snowfall is hitting San Andreas today – and it looks like lasting throughout the weekend and into Monday.

In addition Juggernaut, a new Adversary Mode is now live, pitting armor-clad behemoths and their teams against each other in an all-out brawl for dominance. 

And look for the Comet Retro Custom upgrade compliments of Benny's Original Motor Works, along with more big  bonuses and gifts to all, including Double GTA$ & RP opportunities, plus discounts, weapons, outfits and more.

Benny continues working hard through the holidays and just in time for Christmas, he's re-imagined the Pfister Comet - once a beacon of the champagne-popping San Andreas elite - into a gritty urban dragster suitable for the rough-riding drifters of Los Santos. Head on over to Benny's Original Motor Works or your very own Executive Garage Custom Auto Shop to deck out a slay ride of your own today.

It's a clash of the titans in Juggernaut, the latest adrenaline-fueled Adversary Mode to hit GTA Online. In this brutal war between two opposing teams, the Juggernaut is your greatest asset and your only liability. As an Attacker, you'll need to flank, swarm and successfully execute the opposing team's heavily-reinforced Juggernaut - while protecting your own - to take the win. If your team is unable to wipe out the opposition's Juggernaut in time, Sudden Death rules go into effect and everyone becomes a Juggernaut. First kill wins though, so you'll want to be aggressive in trying to take first blood.

To celebrate the launch of Juggernaut, we're offering Double GTA$ & RP in the mode now through Jan 1st - giving you the chance to spill some red while making that green. Don the suit and bring the holiday fear.

SNOWFALL, SNOWBALLS & HOLIDAY GIFTS

Dreams of a white Christmas are now a reality with the current snowfall phenomenon blanketing Los Santos and Blaine County to last well into the evening on Monday, December 26th. Not only does this mean you'll enjoy a picturesque holiday in GTA Online, but you'll also be able to mix it up with your friends and foes with some good old fashioned snowball fights (just press left on the D-pad to collect up to nine snowballs for your arsenal). The Weazel News Weather Desk is also calling for more of the white stuff on New Year’s weekend, but urge everybody to stay tuned throughout the week for more details as they become available.

On Christmas Day, we'll be stuffing the stockings of anyone who logs in to GTA Online with the Unicorn Mask and either the White Graphic or Blue Check Pajamas, plus enough hardware and munitions to line around that jumbo-sized tree of yours:
