GTA 5 Online Update Adds Double Rewards For Heist Missions, New Premium Race And Time Trial

Grand Theft Auto V's Online mode changes again this week, with a new Premium Vehicle Race and more reward bonuses.

The new race is called Beach Party, and you'll have to use the Blazer Aqua quadbike to take part. Players will get triple RP just for participating, while the top three players in each race will earn "big" GTA$ rewards. This week's Time Trial, meanwhile, is titled Raton Canyon. Beat the par time for a "sizeable" GTA$ and RP reward.

Finally, this week's update will reward players double the usual amount of GTA$ and RP earned during online Heists. The offer, which stands from now until May 16, is valid on all five of the multi-part robberies.

Last week's bonuses on Biker Contract Missions and discounts on a number of weapons and vehicles still stand through May 15, meanwhile.

Grand Theft Auto V continues to sell well to this day: it was one of the top 20 best-selling PS4 games on PSN For April 2017 and regularly finishes in the top 10 of the Australian, US, and UK physical sales charts.

Its popularity is at least in part maintained by continued support for GTA Online, which is updated weekly. One recent update introduced a new game mode similar to old-style GTA games and miniature racers like Micro Machines.
