Rockstar confirms release of GTA Online Stimulus Package

The long-awaited Stimulus Package for GTA Online has been released. Developer Rockstar Games confirmed the arrival of the cash shortly after several users begun noticing the $500,000 in their in-game accounts.

"Attention all Grand Theft Auto Online players, we have begun the Stimulus Package direct deposit into each of your in-game bank accounts," Rockstar wrote. "This GTA$500,000 deposit applies to all GTA Online players in the month of October 2013."

Rockstar expect it will take up to two full days for the Stimulus Package to be fully delivered to the entire GTA 5 player base, "so please be patient if you do not see it appearing in your in-game bank account just yet."

Rockstar will post again on Friday when they expect all of the GTA$ Stimulus Package deposits have been completed. We'll be sure to let you know as well.

"Thanks go out to everyone for their continued patience and understanding while we worked through these issues, and we can’t wait to bring more into the world of GTA Online. On that note, stay tuned for more details on the Beach Bum update soon along with upcoming Social Club event announcements and more here at the Newswire."

In order to qualify for the Stimulus you must have played Grand Theft Auto Online at any time during the month of October 2013. Have you received your deposit yet? Let us know in the comments below.
