If youre a regular GTA Online player, you know Thursdays usually bring a wave of excitementnew bonuses, discounts, and fresh content. But the update for the week of May 22 to May 29, 2025, has left the community largely disappointed. Heres a breakdown of whats going on, and why many are calling this one of the weakest event weeks in recent memory.
Lackluster Bonuses
At first glance, the phrase Triple Money might sound like a jackpot, but the reality falls short. Heres whats on offer this week:
- Triple GTA$ on Taxi Work
Unfortunately, taxi jobs are already some of the lowest-paying in the game. Even tripled, the payout isnt worth the time investment for most players.
- Double GTA$ on Super Yacht Life Missions
These missions are entertaining but far from popular. Plus, they require owning a super yachta luxury item that many players dont have.
- Double Rewards on Shipwreck Collectibles Tiny Racers
While this adds some variety, neither of these activities are major attractions. Shipwreck hunting is niche, and Tiny Racers hasnt aged well with the player base.
Unimpressive Rewards
This weeks unique rewards havent done much to excite the community:
- Frontier Outfit for Collecting Shipwrecks
You can get the returning Frontier outfit by collecting all seven daily shipwrecks, but since it's not a new or exclusive item, many players are skipping it.
- $100,000 Weekly Challenge
Completing three Super Yacht Life missions nets you just $100,000a modest reward compared to more lucrative event weeks.
Vehicle and Dealership Updates
- Podium Vehicle: Vapid GB200
- LS Car Meet Prize Ride: Dubachi Spectre (Win 1 race)
- Test Track Vehicles: Canis Seminole Frontier, Dubachi JB700, Kquet Black Vin
- HSW Ride: Sterling GT
- Simeons Dealership: Grotti Cheetah, Grotti GT500, Entity XF, Weeny Dynasty, Enus Super Diamond
- Luxury Autos: Annis Euros, Overflod Autarch
While the car lineup is varied, theres no new vehicle or standout must-have. Its business as usual.
Discounts and Gun Van Offers
- Super Yachts and Upgrades: 40% Off
Good savings, but yachts have limited use for most players.
- Land Vehicles: Up to 40% Off (Hotring Sabre, BF Weevil, Overflod Autarch, etc.)
Helpful for collectors or new players, but nothing game-changing.
- Gun Van Offers:
30% Off Compact EMP Launcher and select explosives
Free Minigun and Heavy Sniper for lower-level players
GTA+ Members: 40% Off Tactical SMG + Free L. Strickler Rifle
Again, decent perks, especially for beginnersbut not enough to excite veteran players.
Salvage Yard Robberies Fall Flat
This weeks Salvage Yard targetsDeclasse Mamba, Grotti Furia, and Pegassi Zorrussoare available, but none are claimable at the moment. This undermines what could have been one of the more exciting features of the week.
Overall, this event week is being widely regarded as the worst of the monthand its easy to see why.With nothing new or exciting in this update, players are spending less time grinding and more time looking into buying GTA money cheaply.
For new players, there are still some solid discounts worth checking out. But for longtime veterans, this might be a good week to sit out and wait for Rockstar to bring something better.
Lets hope next Thursday brings more to the table.
