Across the following fortnight, GTA Online gamers can declare $2,000,000 of crimecash without cost only for logging in, whereas Red Dead Online gamers can scoop a free Bounty Hunter license in addition to some free weapons and ammo. Rockstar introduced the freebies right now whereas crowing about “another record-breaking holiday season” for each multiplayer modes, spaffing all types of claims in opposition to the digiwall. For instance: December 2019 was GTA Online’s “largest month ever in terms of player numbers,” which is fairly spectacular contemplating how previous it’s. But largely I’m right here for the free stuff.
Jacking into GTA Online between January 30th and February fifth will get you $1,000,000 in San Andollars, then one other mil is up for grabs by taking part in between February sixth and 12th. The cash in giveaways normally is available in after a number of days, however they’re good for it.
Over in Red Dead Online, the advantages are a bit extra sensible. Playing between January 28th and February third will get you a free Schofield Revolver and Varmint Rife plus an enormous ol’ bundle of ammo. Then from February 4th to 10th, taking part in will get you a free Bounty Hunter license, 25 Bolas, and 25 Tracking Arrows. That license normally prices a whopping 15 gold bars, although it’s been given away free to Twitch Prime members earlier than so uncooked gold would possibly’ve been nicer.
Onto the boasting! GTA Online’s torrent of gamers in December meant it broke the day by day, weekly, and month-to-month common data set in Augsut 2019. I assume all of the gross sales holding GTAV in Steam’s high 10 aren’t simply banned cheaters returning. Red Dead Online additionally hit peak participant numbers in December, Rockstar say, then topped that in January. And then some stuff a couple of YouTube report for the curious metric of “engagement via likes and comments” alright put your numbers away, Rockstar.
See Rockstar’s announcement for extra on all this.
Rockstar’s occasional money giveaways and massive reductions have executed wonders for my GTA Online crimecareer. I solely play for a day or two once in a while, and the amassed free cash means I’ve purchased an entire lot of crimebusinesses and crimecars that might in any other case take an entire lot of grinding to afford. The grinding sucks however taking the time to log in throughout occasions like this does quite a bit to alleviate it. When one approach to make a game extra enjoyable is to not play it a lot, that does appear to level to an issue. But hey, now I’d get myself that new supercar I’ve been fancying.
Disclosure: Like most the inhabitants of Edinburgh, I can’t assist however know some people who work at Rockstar. The metropolis is small, and there are such a lot of of them.
