GTA Online is kicking off the Year of the Snake with a spectacular Lunar New Year event filled with limited-time activities, themed collectibles, and exclusive in-game rewards. Running from January 23 to February 12, players can enjoy festive stunt races, hunt for hidden treasures, and make the most of discounts and bonuses across Los Santos. Whether you’re a long-time player or new to GTA Online, this celebration offers a variety of ways to get involved.

Special stunt races and event rewards

As part of the Lunar New Year celebrations, GTA Online offers an exciting lineup of special stunt races where players can earn exclusive rewards. These races bring high-speed thrills and feature unique bonuses for participants, adding extra excitement to the festivities.

Lunar New Year stunt races

Three new stunt races have been added to commemorate the Lunar New Year. These courses are adorned with paper lanterns and fireworks, creating a vibrant, festive atmosphere. Up to 16 players can compete in these adrenaline-fueled races while earning double GTA$ and RP.

Completing at least two stunt races during the event’s first week will net players an additional GTA$100,000, while simply participating in any of the three races unlocks an exclusive Lunar New Year livery for the Maibatsu Penumbra FF. This reward will be delivered within 72 hours, provided the race is completed before February 12.

Golden Yuanbao collectibles

Adding an extra layer of excitement, 36 Golden Yuanbao Collectibles have been hidden across Los Santos. Each collectible found grants GTA$ and RP, and players who gather all 36 will unlock the ultimate cosmetic prize: the Gold Snake Santo Capra Outfit. The new Collectible Scanner, available for the Benefactor Terrorbyte, makes this treasure hunt even more accessible.

Cosmetic login rewards

Logging in during the event period offers players exciting perks, including exclusive cosmetic items that capture the festive spirit of the Lunar New Year. Among the rewards are the stylish Black Snake Yogarishima Outfit and the eye-catching Red Serpent Leather Jacket, perfect for making a statement in Los Santos.
