Rockstar Games has been teasing a new update for Grand Theft Auto V Online via the in-game loading screen, and the Lunar New Year update is finally here!
News in brief
- The annual limited-time Lunar New Year festivities kicked off yesterday, January 23.
- You'll need to be quick to enjoy the celebrations, as you only have until February 12.
- Rockstar has added free special gifts, stunt races, collectibles, and more.
Three brand new Lunar New Year stunt races have been added to Grand Theft Auto Online's Agents of Sabotage DLC. Players can head to the Featured Series in Legion Square to get started and if you complete one of the races before January 30, you'll be rewarded with a limited-time livery for the Maibatsu Penumbra FF. Win two stunt races this week and you'll get the Weekly Challenge reward of GTA $100,000.
A new type of collectible has also landed as part of the update. There are three types of Yuanbao — 36 in total — hidden in various locations across the map. For help finding them, upgrade your Benefactor Terrorbyte at the Garment Factory with Agents of Sabotage's new Collectible Scanner. Discover them all to unlock the snazzy Gold Snake Santo Capra Outfit.
As with previous Lunar New Year festivities, Rockstar Games is rewarding players who log into the game before February 12 with a few free Special Gifts, including the Red Snake Soul Cap, Gray Snake King Cap, Red Serpent Leather Jacket, Black Snake Yogarishima Outfit, Snake Soul Pendant, and Snake King Pendant.
As if that wasn't enough, players can also snag fantastic bonuses and discounts of up to 40% until January 30. You can get 2 x the money on Nightclub Daily Income and Good Missions from Yoha, 30% off Nightclub Properties, and up to 40% off tons of items, including the Buckingham Volatus (Helicopter), should you fancy taking to the skies.
The Lunar New Year Update is now available across PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
