Check Your GTA Online Bankroll
You may be the recipient of $500,000, and you don't even need to worry about any make-believe Nigerian princes. Rockstar has announced that it's rolling out the first part of its GTA Online stimulus packages starting today.
The in-game windfall is being sent along as thanks for sticking with GTA Online following the game's launch issues. To be eligible, players have to download the game's latest update (which is now available), and they had to have played the game at some point in October. Rockstar says payments could take a few days to circulate to the entirety of the GTA Online community, so be patient.
Our Take
I was bummed out about GTA Online's botched launch, but I wasn't expecting much beyond a "Sorry" from Rockstar. This is a great way to accelerate my way to virtual home ownership. It certainly beats shooting people in scrapyards for hours.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
