Given some of the recent technical issues during these first days of Grand Theft Auto Online, and now that things are starting to look much smoother, Rockstar Games is planning to provide a special stimulus package for all who have played or will play Grand Theft Auto Online this month. Rockstar will be dropping a cool half a million GTA$ in the GTA Online bank accounts of all players this month, starting as early as next week.
In order to keep the current in-game economy balanced, Rockstar will be providing this GTA$ to players via two deposits of $250,000. Rockstar will announce specific dates as soon as possible, but are currently hoping to be able to make the first deposit by the end of next week (after they’ve confirmed that issues causing game progress loss have been fixed) with the second installment to happen by the end of the month. For players who experienced cloud server errors, connection issues, and lost game progress and characters in these first days of GTA Online, Rockstar hopes this GTA$ helps to facilitate a fresh start or makes your continued life in Los Santos and Blaine County extra sweet.
Below are a few more details on how it will work:
Telltale Games has launched the Season Premiere of the five episode game series, The Wolf Among Us. Based on Bill Willingham’s comic book series ‘FAbles’ and licensed by Warner Bros.
