These are the most important updates and rewards for the anniversary of GTA Online.
GTA Online celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Grand Theft Auto franchise. Although there has been some confusion as to when Grand Theft Auto’s 25th anniversary is, the series officially kicked off in November. Due to an incorrect Google listing, many believed the series began in October 1997. Some thought this also meant that Rockstar Games would reveal the next Grand Theft Auto game in October to coincide with this anniversary, but unfortunately, there was no no big reveals and we still don’t know much about the next game. Rockstar Games has promised more information in the future, but it’s unclear how long we’ll have to wait to get our first look at the highly anticipated game.
Nevertheless, Rockstar Games has found a little way to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the incredibly successful open world crime franchise. In the latest weekly update for GTA Online, players can get the rare Knuckleduster and Baseball Bat jerseys simply by logging into the game. Images of the Knuckledusters have been used to promote previous Grand Theft Auto anniversaries, such as the 10th anniversary of Grand Theft Auto 3, via a coffee mug Rockstar made available for sale. The baseball bat has also been in every game since Grand Theft Auto 3 and is one of the most accessible melee weapons in every game given its practicality. Aside from this anniversary celebration, Rockstar is also continuing the heist event by increasing the chances of finding the incredibly lucrative panther statue in the Cayo Perico heist.
