Halloween Update And Anniversary Sale Come To Grand Theft Auto Online
Like other popular online games, Grand Theft Auto Online is receiving its own free Halloween-themed event along with celebrating its three-year anniversary. Starting October 28 and ending at an unspecified date, PC, PS4, and Xbox One players will be able to buy the new skull-laded Sanctus motorcycle and play in the new Lost vs Damned Adversary mode. Along with the new content, last year's Halloween items and vehicles will also be returning for the event along with bonuses that will be detailed on Friday.
The new and unique Lost vs Damned Adversary multiplayer mode pits "Angels" against "Devils" with the day-night cycle on a 60-second timer. Angels get more health, armor, and better weapons during the day while the Devils see those benefits at night.
Grand Theft Auto Online is also celebrating its three-year anniversary along with Halloween. Players that log on from now until October 31 will receive a $250,000 deposit into their GTA Online bank account. A variety of weapons and vehicles are also on sale until November 7 along with the new Pegassi Vortex motorcycle. For the complete rundown on discounted items, check out Rockstar's extensive list here.

Our Take
It's hard to deny Grand Theft Auto Online's popularity, given Rockstar's consistent support for it. Like other Halloween-based events, it gives players a reason to keep coming back, along with some new gear to earn.
