The GTA Online weekly update for October 29 to November 4, 2026: the Halloween finale, 3X on Slasher and Survivals, GTA$2M for the challenges, 40% off the Agency, the GP1 on the podium, the Previon Prize Ride and the Gun Van. Plus how weekly updates work.
How the GTA Online weekly update works
Rockstar runs the GTA Online weekly update every Thursday: bonuses, discounts, the podium car, test drives and challenges all change. Rockstar posts the announcements on the Newswire, usually one article per week; in October 2026 there was a single article covering the whole Halloween month. Rockstar doesn't give an exact time. According to guides, the new bonuses go live at around 10:00 UTC: that's 5:00 a.m. ET and 10:00 a.m. in the UK in winter, and 6:00 a.m. ET and 11:00 a.m. in the UK in summer.
Big story updates (DLCs) come out separately, usually on a Tuesday: The Kortz Center Heist, for example, launched on Tuesday, July 14, 2026.
What a weekly update includes
- 2X/3X bonuses: double or triple GTA$ and RP for certain modes, businesses or missions. Sometimes even more for GTA+ members.
- Discounts on cars, properties, upgrades and weapons.
- The casino podium: the car you can win on the Lucky Wheel.
- Prize Ride at the LS Car Meet: a car for meeting a race condition.
- Test drives and the Premium Deluxe Motorsport and Luxury Autos showrooms.
- Gun Van: a van full of weapons whose location changes daily.
- The weekly challenge and log-in gifts.
- Heist targets: which paintings are in Kortz Center and which cars to steal for the Salvage Yard.
Since July 2026, Thursday also resets the weekly first-completion heist bonus; see GTA Online heists.
