Season's Greetings from Los Santos. Just in time for Christmas, please enjoy a bounty of Holiday Gifts that transform Grand Theft Auto Online into a West Coast winter wonderland.

 

SPECIAL SEASONAL ACCESSORIES THROUGH JAN 5th

Right now, you'll find special limited-time, holiday-themed items in the clothing shops and at Vespucci Movie Masks like Santa hats, Elf jackets and shoes, Snowman masks, Reindeer antlers and more. All these items are available to don until January 5th.

 

 

SAN ANDREAS SNOWFALL – IT'S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE

Travelers to Los Santos and Blaine County in GTA Online now through Christmas Day will also be greeted by a the very rare sight of a San Andreas snowfall, making for (even more) hazardous driving conditions.

 

 

SNAPMATIC SHUTTERBUGS’ BEST XMAS EVER

Spruce up your selfies and share your holiday photos with a host of updated Snapmatic features that have just been released including all-new photo Filters, Borders, and Facial Expressions. There's also a new Depth of Field Effect and a Meme Creator feature. All the new Snapmatic features are here to stay even after the Holiday Season (and are also available to use in Story Mode as well). You can access the Filters, Borders, Facial Animations, and Depth of Field Effect while you're taking a photo (Facial Animations and Depth of Field are only available in Self Portrait Mode). To use the Meme Creator, just pause the game and select the picture you'd like to meme-ify from the Gallery, then hit Square / X to add meme text.

 

Share your best holiday season Snapmatics with the tag #XmasInLosSantos and we may feature some of our favorites here at the Newswire in early January.

I can't wait ether :D :D :D :D  

Wow, very nice!

While this is a nice thing to do from R*, as somebody who a) doesn't have a lot of time right now and b) prefers singleplayer over multiplayer (not only here, but generally), I would have appreciated more if they had also added this to SP and possibly included an option to switch between the snowy and regular versions of the map. AC3 gave you exactly that option after you finished the storyline.

Hear, Hear. I'm with you there buddy.

Had to give the Snapmatic effects a shot xD

That looks epic!

Snow is fun in this game (been exploring North Yankton), so it's most welcomed by me.

I am unable to enter online mode...

LOL! WTF? That must be a 'Hall Of Mirrors' effect or something like that.
