'Grand Theft Auto Online' Update Adds 4X GTA$/RP On Open Wheel Races, 2X Rewards on Tow Truck Services And Payphone Hits And More

by Rainier on May 1, 2025 @ 9:13 a.m. PDT

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.

Open Wheel Races make their return to Los Santos this week offering courageous drivers 4X GTA$ and RP. 

Players looking to get in on the action can purchase their own high-powered Open Wheel Vehicles – all 40% off through May 7. 

Full details from this week’s update include:

  • Quadruple GTA$ and RP on Open Wheel Races
  • Free Dark Manor Suit for completing three Open Wheel Races this week

Drivers Thrive with 4X GTA$ and RP on Open Wheel Races

High speeds, outlandish production budgets, corporate sponsors, interpersonal drama — it’s hard to compete with the spectacle of Open Wheel Races. The circuit also promises an eye-popping 4X GTA$ and RP on the seven fan-favorite tracks returning to the Featured Series this week. Head over to Legion Square to compete.

40% Off Open Wheel Race Cars

Get in prime overtake position with a custom Open Wheel race car. Take 40% off any of the four illustrious models available at Legendary Motorsport through May 7. Plus, win two Open Wheel Races to complete the Weekly Challenge and you’ll rake in an additional GTA$100,000.

Get the Dark Manor Suit

Completing three Open Wheel Races this week will reward you with the Dark Manor Suit — available within 72 hours of completion.

2X GTA$ and RP on Payphone Hits

Due to ongoing FIB monitoring operations, the nature of Payphone Hits is best kept off the record. Executing wet-work operations against high-value targets is high-risk and high-reward, so you’ll be paid out 2X GTA$ and RP for completing them, while GTA+ Members’ payouts stack to a whopping 4X.

Agency owners who have completed three Security Contracts can give Franklin a call to request a hit or answer a ringing payphone around Los Santos.  

2X GTA$ and RP on Tow Truck Services

Climb aboard the Vapid Tow Truck inside your Salvage Yard to take part in Tow Truck Services — hauling delinquent or otherwise abandoned cars back to be salvaged for parts — and earn Double Rewards all week long.

40% off Salvage Yard Properties and More

Those looking to get involved in the clean-up can take advantage of 40% off Salvage Yard Properties and their Upgrades and Modifications through May 7 — available on the Maze Bank Foreclosures website.
