Good news for Grand Theft Auto Online players, as Rockstar Games has decided to reward them for their patience regarding the difficulties encountered since the game’s launch.

Developers have just confirmed plans to provide GTA Online players with a special “stimulus package” in the form of no less than half a million GTA$ (in-game money).

The gift will be dropped into GTA Online bank accounts of all players this month, beginning as early as next week (no exact date has been given).

There’s more to it, as Rockstar also states that the gift will be provided via two deposits of $250,000, “in order to keep the current worldwide in-game economy balanced.”

In order to be eligible for this reward, “you must play or have played Grand Theft Auto Online at any time during the month of October 2013.”

Keep in mind that you will have to install another Grand Theft Auto V title update to be able to receive the stimulus package. This upcoming patch is expected to be released next week, Rockstar claims.

The upcoming title update 1.04 has been confirmed to fix the rest of the issues that have caused “vehicle purchase loss and will also enable the functionality through which we’ll be providing this GTA$ stimulus cash to players.”

Last but not least, keep in mind that both GTA Online $250,000 deposits will be made by Rockstar and they will appear in your in-game bank account if you are eligible for this offer.

Besides downloading the upcoming title update, Rockstar states that there should not be any additional special action required for eligible players to redeem.

“For players who experienced cloud server errors, connection issues, and lost game progress and characters in these first days of GTA Online, we hope this GTA$ helps to facilitate a fresh start or makes your continued life in Los Santos and Blaine County extra sweet,” said Rockstar Games.
