The dusty streets of Los Santos and Blaine County may not be the first image that comes to mind when thinking about the holidays, but if Rockstar has its way, they soon will be.
Grand Theft Auto Online has been updated several times since its first release a year ago, though any holiday plans were stunted due to the terrible performance that accompanied its debut. Most players weren't even able to get into the game, much less celebrate Christmas with all the other virtual criminals. This year, however, that's not the case: Grand Theft Auto V saw a smooth launch on next-gen platforms earlier this year, and with everybody playing again, it's time to celebrate the holidays in style.
The new title update, which includes the Festive Surprise event content, is currently rolling out through all platforms. If you're not seeing any new content, just be patient: everything should be out to players by the end of the day.
Oh, and on Christmas Day, remember to check your apartment: you never know if Santa will leave anything under the tree! For more details on the update, head over to the Rockstar Newswire.
