You claim free downloads in GTA V, more specifically, GTA Online right now but you need to act fast unless you’re willing to miss out.
When players are done with the single-player campaign of Grand Theft Auto V, they can cause all sorts of mayhem in GTA Online and annoy everyone with their shenanigans. Well, you could be part of a well-oiled heist team, but where would the fun be in that?
Check out the GTA Online trailer below!

GTA Online is included with purchases of GTA V or you can purchase it as a standalone product. Rockstar Games supports GTA Online with a wealth of free content updates (mostly as a tactic to entice in-game purchases), but still, nonetheless, it’s great to see the game so well supported.
The latest event is now live in GTA Online and it’s all about celebrating the Chinese Lunar New Year, which just so happens to be the year of the Chinese Wood Snake. Hopefully, there’ll be a few more events in the bag to keep us busy until GTA VI finally arrives.
As with most free GTA Online events, players can earn exclusive DLC and bonuses such as XP and currency just by playing the game, and the most recent event is no exception.
Kick off the Year of the Snake in GTA Online with three brand-new Lunar New Year Stunt Races, complete with fireworks, cascading lanterns, and 2X GTA$ and RP.

GTA V and GTA Online are out now on PC, PlayStation and Xbox. As for Grand Theft Auto VI, that is currently scheduled to be released late this year on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S (assuming it suffers no delay).
