GTA Online Festive Surprise Announced And Released
That was quick. Soon after a few last-minute leaks spoiled most of the content and the release date of this year's Christmas DLC for GTA Online, the official announcement, in tandem with the release, was made.
Much like with the Halloween Surprise DLC, the Newswire post went up at the same time as when the update itself went live in-game. Also much like with the Halloween Surprise DLC, a lot of the new content will only be available for a limited time.
The DLC works more like an Advent calendar of sorts, with not all content being available or even revealed yet. The initial post and release are quite bare bones, but the wording of the news update gives us some idea of what is to come.
New designs for festive clothing, like pyjamas and costumes, as well as various new Christmas themed masks are available for free while the DLC is live. As well as this, the content from the previous two holiday DLCs, the 2014 Festive Surprise and the 2013 Holidays Gifts being available for purchase.
Christmas trees have been set up at Legion Square as well as in all apartments, mansions and yachts, to give you that proper holiday feel. While the pavement of Los Santos' streets are still bone-dry, you can expect some soft, pure snow to fall soon, allowing players to have some deadly snowball fights.
However the free masks and outfits won't be the only gifts that players can expect this Christmas. Various other free items, events and gameplay additions will be released, for free, during the course of the DLC's lifespan, the nature of which have yet to be revealed. The vehicle that is purported to be added to GTA Online with this DLC is bound to be one of them.
Have you tried out some of the new additions to GTA Online with the Festive Surprise?
