GTA Online had by all standards an extremely successful 2020. According to developer Rockstar Games, the Grand Theft Auto, which is the only player, has managed to break records for the number of players and video views on various platforms, with the relatively recent addition of The Cayo Perico Heist, which definitely helps matters. As part of a short note thanking players, Rockstar Games also teased new content for the title.
More specifically, the message from Rockstar Games offers players ‘to be on the lookout for more festive events in the near future for the chance to get new equipment, bonus GTA $ and a free vehicle in GTA Online,’. What exactly it looks like has yet to be seen, but it sounds like the free content updates will stay on throughout 2021, and that the developer still has some surprises in store.
