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.

Holiday Celebrations Commence Across GTA Online with Gifts from the Happy Holidays Hauler, a Free Snowball Launcher, and More

Snow-filled skies and festive wonder abounds as the holiday season arrives in Southern San Andreas, with new Snowball Fights, a holiday spin on Entourage, and a state-wide hunt for the mysterious Yeti.

Seasonal publicity stunts are customary this time of year, but eCola has gone the extra mile by summoning its Happy Holidays Hauler truck from plumes of red and green smoke. Look out for its string-lit, cherry-red paint job and unique jingle as it makes the rounds to and from Legion Square before vanishing into thin air. The Happy Holidays Hauler will be dropping presents in its wake including festive sweaters, GTA$ and RP, ammo, and snacks to pad your inventory.

Get yourself the gifts that keep on giving — real estate and passive income. Invest in the new Salvage Yard featured in GTA Online: The Chop Shop and partake in a rotation of Salvage Yard Robberies with new targets and locations this week.

There’s also a sleigh’s worth of holiday-themed gifts and rewards available, including the Green Xmas Tree Hat, White Xmas Reindeer Hat, and much more. Anyone who didn’t get the Snowman outfit or the Gooch Mask last year will have a second chance at these eccentric accessories, thanks to the return of a string of holiday events.

Plus, the new Bravado Dorado (SUV) hits the snow-filled streets, there are Double Rewards in the new Drift Races, 3X GTA$ and RP for taking part in a new batch of holiday-themed Community Series Jobs, and gifts aplenty that all point to a sweet beginning to the New Year.

Get the New Snowball Launcher

Play GTA Online during the holidays and receive the new Snowball Launcher, because nothing says peace on earth and good will to all men quite like a snowball to the face. Harness the holiday energy by adding the Snowball Launcher to your arsenal, available by logging in from December 21 through December 27.

2X GTA$ and RP on Snowball Fights

Snow in its natural form may seem like a harmless winter weather pattern, but it can do some damage when fired at high speed out of a Snowball Launcher. In Snowball Fights, the stakes are lethal: a hit from an opposing team’s snowball is a one-hit kill. Engage in the epic winter battle across five unique locales, and dodge salvos of frosty fire to emerge victorious and earn 2X GTA$ and RP through January 3.

TIP: The more you move, the harder it is to get hit by an enemy snowball. Cover is useful, but standing still will make you a sitting duck. Gang up with teammates, wait until your opponents are out of snowballs, and unleash a well-timed barrage to come out on top.

In addition, Snowballs are also now available to use in the Deathmatch Creator’s toolkit. Go wild, surprise us, and your creation might just make it in a future cut of the Community Series.

2X GTA$ and RP on Entourage (Festive Remix)

In Entourage (Festive Remix), a group of Elves must defend Santa against the evil Krampuses after an unfortunate sleigh crash. The goal is simple: get Santa to the safe zone before the Krampuses — infused with supernatural jumping abilities and extra health — can sink their teeth into him. The Elves possess limited lives and cannot see the extraction point. Santa’s injuries render him slow and unable to jump, but he gets extra health and must guide the Elves toward the Safe Zone.

TIP: Elves can regain lives by picking up milk and cookies. Krampuses should target the Elves before closing in on Santa. While powerful, the Krampuses’ Super Jump leaves them vulnerable to enemy fire at high altitudes.

Playing Entourage (Festive Remix) will not only earn you 2X GTA$ and RP, but will also unlock new Christmas weapon skins. Complete Entourage (Festive Remix) once to get a skin for the Combat Pistol. Survive five matches of the Adversary Mode to receive a skin for the Special Carbine, and win while playing as the iconic Santa Claus for a Heavy Sniper skin to fire in style from any vantage point.

Unlock the New Yeti Outfit

Rumblings of a mysterious cryptid are circulating around Southern San Andreas. Skeptics presume it to be another Sasquatch, but experts note that the distinct footprints, travel patterns, and snow-white fur resemble the folkloric Yeti.

How the mythical being made it here is unknown, but an extensive search is underway. Locate and investigate five clues in the new Yeti Hunt. Look for anything out of the ordinary: blood and torn clothing are both signs of a nearby clue. Find and defeat the Yeti by January 3 to unlock the Yeti Outfit.

Introducing the Bravado Dorado

Bravado prides themselves on creating the boldest, brashest, and baddest cars on the market, and their latest release is no different. Introducing the new Bravado Dorado (SUV), a four-door that’ll turn any uptight city-slicker into a patriot barking Blaine County Radio’s talking points at pedestrians in no time.

Available for purchase now at Southern San Andreas Super Autos and on display at the Premium Deluxe Motorsport Showroom.

Holiday Gifts

Celebrate the festive period in GTA Online with collectibles for every occasion: Log in to play GTA Online from December 21 through December 27 to receive the Snowball Launcher, Green Xmas Tree Hat, White Xmas Reindeer Hat, Candy Cane Weapon, and Green Reindeer Beer Hat, and more.

Additionally, start the New Year on the right foot by donning celebratory swag such as New Year’s Hats (available in Silver, Gold, and Bronze) New Year’s Glasses (available in Silver, Gold, and Rainbow), and more by logging in to play at any point between December 28 and January 3.

Snowmen Collectibles, The Gooch, and Weazel Plaza Shootout Return

Experience a jolly kind of déjà vu with the return of three beloved holiday events in GTA Online. Collect and destroy Snowmen, defeat the infamous Christmas-ruining mugger known as The Gooch, and take out a notorious bank-robbing duo in the Weazel Plaza Shootout.

All these events will be paying out various bonuses through January 3, and rewards include the Snowman Outfit for finding and destroying all 25 Snowmen, as well as the Gooch Outfit for successfully fighting off The Gooch. Defeating the criminal masterminds at work in the Weazel Plaza Shootout will get you the WM 29 Pistol.

2X GTA$ and RP on Drift Races

Supe up your favorite drifting vehicle and head down to the LS Car Meet to participate in the new Drift Races. Stay in control and leave competitors in a cloud of tire smoke and dust as you rack up 2X GTA$ and RP for participating in Drift Races this week — which stacks to a luscious 4X for GTA+ Members.

While at the LS Car Meet, don’t miss out on the opportunity to earn 2X LS Car Meet Reputation by completing Sprints, driving Test Rides around the Track, competing in all Street Race Series events, and more.

Salvage Yard Robberies

On top of all the other advantages of running a legitimate auto parts scrap shop, Salvage Yard owners can lend their talents to Yusuf Amir and his cousin Jamal. Acquire a steady, rotating supply of vehicles to sell or salvage in the action-packed new Salvage Yard Robberies.

Prime locations for these operations also rotate regularly: from December 21 through December 27 you can execute robberies at The Diamond Casino, the Cargo Ship, and Mission Row. From December 28 through January 3, the Cargo Ship will be replaced by the Submarine.
