GTA Online continues to keep Los Santos lively, with a fresh content drop that mixes luxury vehicles, seasonal celebrations, and serious payout boosts.

Available across Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC, this latest update gives players another reason to jump back into Rockstar’s ever-evolving online world.

Following last week’s Valentine’s-themed chaos – which introduced Deadline Duet and romantic rewards – the focus now shifts toward classic style, Lunar New Year festivities, and massive earning opportunities.

New Ride Rolls Into Los Santos

Headlining this week’s update is the arrival of the Grotti Itali Classic, now available to purchase via Legendary Motorsport. Styled after iconic European sports cars of decades past, this new addition blends nostalgia with modern defensive tech.

Players can customise the vehicle with Imani Tech Missile Lock-On Jammer capability, adding a layer of protection against hostile players and weaponised vehicles across Los Santos.

For collectors and car enthusiasts, this is one of those must-own additions that balances style and survival.

Welcome The Year Of The Horse

Los Santos is embracing the Lunar New Year with themed activities, cosmetics, and a brand-new stunt race.

The new Senora Derby stunt race takes players into the Grand Senora Desert for a high-speed celebration complete with fireworks, nitro boosts, and festival flair. All Lunar New Year stunt races are paying out Triple GTA$ and RP, making them one of the most rewarding activities in the game right now.

Players can also collect Yuanbao collectibles scattered across the map, earning GTA$ and RP along the way, with a bonus for finding all 36.

Seasonal rewards include:

  • Red Year Of The Horse Tee (log in before March 4)
  • Free Horse Tattoos
  • Free Horse Masks

Big Rewards Across Los Santos

This week’s update is particularly generous when it comes to payouts across multiple activities.

Players running organisations can take advantage of major income boosts, with VIP/CEO Work paying Quadruple GTA$ and RP, alongside quadruple Associate and Bodyguard salaries.

Meanwhile, heist fans should keep an eye on The Cayo Perico Heist, where the Pink Diamond target has increased spawn chances for a limited time.

Adversary modes are also seeing strong bonuses, including Triple GTA$ and RP on Deadline and Deadline Duet, continuing the momentum from last week’s update.

Valentine’s Rewards Continue

The Valentine’s celebrations haven’t disappeared just yet. Players can still log in to claim a free Valentines Onesie, enjoy free Champagne in Nightclubs, and purchase Valentine’s-themed clothing at 50% off.

Luxury Autos is also showcasing themed vehicles, including the Albany Roosevelt and Classique Broadway wrapped in the limited-time Los Santos Lovers livery.

Weekly GTA Online Update Summary

Here’s a quick look at the biggest additions this week:

  • New vehicle: Grotti Itali Classic with Missile Lock-On Jammer support
  • Lunar New Year Senora Derby stunt race
  • Triple GTA$ and RP on Lunar New Year stunt races
  • Yuanbao collectibles across Los Santos

An Xbox gamer since 2002, I bought the big black box just to play Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. I have since loved every second of the 360's life and am now just as obsessed with the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S - mostly with the brilliant indie scene that has come to the fore.
