A brand new glitch has appeared in Grand Theft Auto Online, the multiplayer of GTA 5, allowing players to gain an infinite amount of money by reselling a bike to a virtual retailer. Xbox 360 owners who have abused the bug are already receiving bans from Microsoft, however.

GTA Online has a special in-game economy that makes sure players don't get too rich too quickly, although they can use microtransactions to get large amounts of money.

Now, a YouTube video has appeared showing off a special glitch in GTA Online, through which a player can constantly sell a bike to a retailer and gain a lot of money in an easy way.

While a fix for the glitch hasn't appeared, apparently Microsoft has begun banning some Xbox 360 players who have abused the exploit.

As of yet, Rockstar hasn't issued a statement about the glitch.
