GTA Online 'Stimulus Package' deployment delayed

4.6
Ongoing bugs prevent free in-game cash distribution until next week

Rockstar has delayed plans to distribute the first half of the $500,000 of in-game cash promised to GTA Online players this week.

The so-called 'Stimulus Package' was promised to users as compensation for the issues that have plagued the online game since its launch on October 1.

The firm had previously announced plans to distribute $250,000 in game cash to players this week (ending Friday, October 25), but this has been delayed owing to ongoing bugs still plaguing the multiplayer mode.

"We of course want to ensure that game progress loss issues are sufficiently sorted before distributing the GTA$ to everyone," said Rockstar in a statement today.

"We have a few more tweaks and fixes to make in a new title update that will hit sometime next week and then we will distribute the cash," it added.

Oasis The worst part is, as much as people want to play it and give it a chance their patience will run out eventually. If the game isn't ready don't freaking sell it...when will they learn??


My patience isnt gonna run out... imo gta 5 is amazing, plus the online is very fun most of the people who say its boring either have no money, have too much monye cuz they glitched it, or just dont have any friends to play it with

It is a boring game, after you beat the campaign there's nothing else to do. Multiplayer sucks and it's boring, there is no point .

Yes delayed till the beach bum pack comes out in November.. Looks pretty good.. But with all these mods and gliches now. I don't think people are really happy about the free money

Should have finished the game before they've sold it to us...

Cyimking I lost interest in GTA V. Like what is the point of playing? They give you the same missions so you can't really make money. By time we get the money we will have all the stuff we wanted. By time they add the heist, the new consoles are going to be out.


That's true. We don't know. By the time the issues are fixed, the next generation consoles might be out. Personally they should put some useless stuff on a pause until they have fixed the main issues. Rockstar has messed up big time, this time. I'm starting to lose my interest.

These bugs have almost been ongoing for over a month now. It's stupid. I might sell GTA V and get it on the Xbox One when I receive my pre-order.

Personally, I would've preferred to wait longer for the GTA Online to come out, rather than have to deal with all of these issues!
RockStar should of checked EVERYTHING before release.
Understandably you can't check everything, but the key features and the beginning server issues should of been fixed before release imo.

I knew it, they can't release their game on time, what makes you think they can release this on time?
