GTA Online Players To Get $500,000 In GTA$

As a compensation to the players who have had to deal with Grand Theft Auto Online’s technical issues, Rockstar has announced that they will be giving half a million GTA$ (the in-game currency) into the players’ GTA Online bank accounts in two “payments”.

Although they still have to maintain an economic balance in the current game world-wide economy, they will be providing the GTA$ is two deposits of $250,000 each. An announcement regarding the deposit dates  is to be published next week, along with the first deposit ( hopefully ). Rockstar officials have also said that the second deposit of a quarter of a million is to be made available next month.

“For players who experienced cloud server errors, connection issues, and lost game progress and characters in these first days of GTA Online, we hope this GTA$ helps to facilitate a fresh start or makes your continued life in Los Santos and Blaine County extra sweet.”

Here are a few details on who will get the deposits and how it will work;

· You must play or have played Grand Theft Auto Online at any time during the month of October 2013 in order to qualify for the GTA$500,000 deposit in your in-game bank account.
· Players will first have to install a forthcoming GTAV title update which we expect to happen next week. That title update (1.04) is expected to fix the remaining instances of issues that have caused vehicle purchase loss and will also enable the functionality through which we’ll be providing this GTA$ stimulus cash to players.
· We will announce at the Rockstar Newswire when each deposit is made.
· Each of the two GTA$250,000 deposits will be made by Rockstar and should automatically appear in the in-game GTA Online bank accounts of eligible players. Beyond downloading the forthcoming title update mentioned above, there should not be any additional special action required by eligible players to redeem.
