Get ready, Los Santos – the GTA Online update for the week of July 18 is live, bringing a fresh wave of adrenaline-pumping races, lucrative Madrazo Bounties, and exclusive rewards for PlayStation and Xbox players. Whether you’re chasing triple GTA$ and RP in Community Series events or hunting down the Hotring Circuit for double rewards, this week’s update promises high stakes and high speed for every kind of player.
GTA Online special events
Each week in GTA Online, Rockstar introduces special events that offer players unique opportunities to earn extra GTA$ and RP, unlock exclusive items, and participate in themed activities. These events often include bonus payouts for specific missions, such as double or triple rewards on select Adversary Modes, races, or business sell missions. Weekly challenges are also a staple, rewarding players with cash bonuses or rare outfits for completing particular objectives, like winning races or delivering items. Community challenges can unite the entire player base toward a shared goal, with collective rewards distributed if the target is met, such as exclusive clothing or in-game items. These rotating special events keep the gameplay fresh and encourage both new and veteran players to log in regularly and engage with Los Santos in new ways.
This week’s special event goes along with the new Bottom Dollar Bounties – but it’s only available on PlayStation and Xbox. Once you buy your Bail Office from Maze Bank and complete all of the Tier 4 Career Progress Challenges, you’ll earn yourself a free Canis Castigator.
