Mixed Reactions from the Community
While many players are thrilled with the holiday content, others remain frustrated by Rockstar Games’ silence on GTA 6. Hopes for a trailer or reveal at The Game Awards were dashed, leaving fans speculating about a potential delay that could push the sequel beyond its anticipated 2025 release window.
Whether you’re diving into snowball fights or racking up GTA$ from festive activities, this year’s holiday update offers plenty of reasons to celebrate. Log in before the end of the year to claim your rewards and make the most of the festivities!
