GTA Online Festive Surprise now live

4.6
Rockstar Games has released their GTA Online Festive Surprise today. The update includes new weapons, vehicles, clothes, masks, and more.

Rockstar Games confirmed that we will see snow this year and said be on the look out for "snowball fights." Take a look at some screenshots and more information on the update below.

EXPLOSIVE STOCKING STUFFERS
Heat up your season’s greetings with brand new items stocked at Ammu-Nation: a new Homing Missile Launcher and Proximity Mines are here just in time to make spirits bright. These items will be permanently available to acquire and keep.

SNOW DAYS
Those dreaming of a white Christmas are in luck as the forecast calls for the extremely rare phenomenon of San Andreas snowfall to hit on a few special days this holiday season. Be on the lookout and ready to round up your Crew for a friendly snowball fight, but be forewarned, those icy little suckers can pack a wallop.

FREE SEASONAL CHRISTMAS GEAR AND MASKS
Add some merriment to your mayhem with a slew of holiday pajamas, ‘ugly’ Christmas sweaters, new scarves, hats, masks and more are now all available absolutely free to add to your inventory and wear now through Monday January 5th.

MAKE A DASH IN FOUR ALL-NEW VEHICLES
Treat yourself to some new toys this holiday season and fill your garage (now that you can own a third property and garage, also part of today’s Title Update) with four all-new vehicles to purchase – including a tricked out Hot Rod Christmas Ratloader, the sturdy Slam Van, and the fast and flashy Massacro and Jester sports cars with all new Race liveries. These vehicles will be permanently available to acquire and keep.

HOLIDAY SPECIAL CRATE DROPS
Keep your eyes on the sky as Holiday Special Crate Drops will be dropping frequently now through January 5th, stuffed with goodies to collect for your inventory – including a few of the rare vintage GTA tees that you may have missed in some of our Social Club Event Weekends over the past year as well as some brand new ones never before available.

CHRISTMAS DAY GIFTS
On Christmas Day, December 25th, as you’re relaxing in your Los Santos apartment beside your Christmas tree, make sure to check your inventory for a few extra gifts.

SET OFF SOME NEW YEAR’S FIREWORKS
Ring in the New Year with a bang – the Firework Launcher and Firework rocket ammo are coming back and will be available to acquire and use from Christmas Eve until Monday, January 5th. You can score one for free on four special days: Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day.

#FESTIVESURPRISE SNAPMATIC CONTEST
Take your merriest Christmas Crew family photo or capture the insanity of the New Year’s party you’re hosting in your Los Santos condo – or any other amazing, amusing or beauteous #FestiveSurprise action. In January, we’ll pick our five favorite shots and award the photographers with a GTA$1M prize. Tag your entries with #FestiveSurprise now through January 5th to be eligible.

-Corgi I remember when Rockstar said that Heists would be released in the first update...


They already announced the release of heists? This is just a surprise update.


Yes, but they said that with the first update, Heists would come. Meaning if they were true to their word, it would've came today :/.


They never said that, it was rumored. Sadly its didn't pan out.


From their newswire: "We know youre all excited for more Updates to come and weve got some really exciting stuff in the works to continue adding to, expanding and evolving the world of Grand Theft Auto Online including the highly anticipated launch of Online Heists which will be available for all four consoles as the first GTA Online Update to happen after the game launches on PS4 and Xbox One. Well have some details on that very soon as well."


They DID make it sound like that heists would be available with the launch of GTA Online. Then when the game came out, they said it would be postponed. January 18th (The exact day I sold it) they said that it would be coming in their next update now that most bugs were fixed.

Oh and they did also say that current-gen would be recieving online heists upon release. I'm not too bothered by it, but I just wish they would stop saying things that weren't true. It's like the kid at school who's dad is a famous footballer, and who shot down a ufo with his rocket launcher lmao

Pryzel These updates are boring and pointless in my opinion.


Boring? They sound fun! New weapons, and some free stuff!

Pointless? Nope. It's FREE! If this was on Call of Duty it would cost $15 at least. And update giving you free goodies, and expanding on what's already there is not pointless. It's great! I'm not normally a fan of christmas themed stuff, because they can only be used for about 25 days of the year. But this update is great, it's just more fun for the rest of the Christmas period :P

Try restarting your xbox, I just did that with my One and got the update.
