GTA Online stimulus package rolling out; Rockstar depositing $500k into players' in-game accounts Rockstar had begun rolling out its stimulus package for Grand Theft Auto: Online, depositing $500,000 into players' in-game bank accounts.
The developer announced the start of the program on its blog yesterday. The GTA$500,000 deposit applies to all GTA Online players in the month of October 2013. It will take around two full days to complete, and Rockstar will update everyone on Friday.

The chaotic world of Grand Theft Auto Online was marred somewhat in its early days by bugs and problems experienced by players.

"Thanks go out to everyone for their continued patience and understanding while we worked through these issues, and we can't wait to bring more into the world of GTA Online," Rockstar staff write.
