Grand Theft Auto 5 continues to dominate the attention of video game fans as the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 game continues to draw in millions despite the launch of the next-gen consoles. Now, on the weekend of the Xbox One's release, Rockstar is hosting the first Social Club weekend for the game and is offering users the chance to grab some free in-game cash and experience points through some timed events.
According to Rockstar Newswire, the special event weekend will run through Nov. 24. Rockstar explains how the first Social Club weekend will incorporate the newly released Beach Bum DLC pack for the online portion of the game:
"All weekend long, plunge into a special Social Club Event Playlist of brand new Jobs from the freshly landed Beach Bum Pack, a hand-picked selection of ten of our favorite new Jobs. Drop some sea shells, go for a fuel-injected run on the beach, and take in some of the most spectacular stretches of coastline in the Los Santos Bay area in modes including Sea Race, Parachute, Team Deathmatch and more. The best performers in the Social Club Event Playlist on each platform will score themselves a special vanity license plate reward for bragging rights and to commemorate their achievement."
In addition to these new limited time playlists, there will be many special events coming to Grand Theft Auto Online during the weekend, including Event Create Drops that different Crews can fight over:
"In Free Roam, look out for an influx of special Event Crate Drops dropping frequently all weekend containing more than double the usual amount of RP plus high-powered weapons, bonus cash and clothing. They'll be unlocked for every player to help you pack more than just sunscreen on the blazing sands."
These bonuses will also have several real-world collectibles that Rockstar will be giving away as part of the Social Club event. Rockstar will also have a livestream on Nov. 22 in which Rockstar employees will play the new content, drop into other players' games and interact with other players. Those who take Snapmatic pictures in the game and tag them #VespucciBeachParty also have the chance to get their photos posted on Rockstar's website.
Look out for more news about Grand Theft Auto 5 and its online mode right here as Rockstar continues to add new content to the game, including heists and other DLC content.
