'Grand Theft Auto Online' Adds Jack O’ Lantern Collectibles, Double Rewards on Halloween-themed Modes, GTA+ Benefits And More

by Rainier on Oct. 13, 2022 @ 8:50 a.m. PDT

Set in the sprawling city of Los Santos and the surrounding area, Grand Theft Auto V delivers a world of unprecedented scale and detail bursting with life, from mountaintops to the depths of the ocean.

When a young street hustler, a retired bank robber and a terrifying psychopath find themselves entangled with some of the most frightening and deranged elements of the criminal underworld, the U.S. government and the entertainment industry, they must pull off a series of dangerous heists to survive in a ruthless city in which they can trust nobody, least of all each other.

Switch between the interconnected lives of Michael, Trevor and Franklin as they embark on a series of heists across Los Santos and Blaine County in the biggest, deepest and richest open world experience yet, with game world enhancements that include new wildlife, upgraded weather and damage effects, and an array of new details to discover.

Grand Theft Auto V also comes with Grand Theft Auto Online, the dynamic and ever-evolving online universe for up to 30 players, and includes all existing gameplay upgrades and content released since the launch of Grand Theft Auto Online.

Rise through the ranks to become a CEO of your own criminal empire by trading contraband or form a Motorcycle Club and rule the streets. Pull off daring co-operative Heists, enter adrenaline-fueled Stunt Races, compete in unique Adversary Modes or create your own content to play and share with the entire GTA community.

Slasher is a Los Santos Halloween tradition. A lone Shotgun-armed Slasher stalks the map for the Hunted, who’ve only got Flashlights.

Whoever wipes out the other team within the time limit wins, but both teams will walk away with 2X GTA$ and RP.

And slip into an extraterrestrial skinsuit to fight off the forces of the alphabet agencies and the security state in Project 4808. Earn 2X GTA$ and RP for playing Alien Survivals, all week long.

With all the havoc that's going on in Southern San Andreas right now, having a reliable 4-door sedan that's been voted “Most Comfortable Getaway Car of The Year” feels like a pretty solid bet.
