GTA Weekly Update: Discounts and Deals for February 9, 2023
Rockstar developers have been busy over the past few weeks, but they still managed to release another weekly update in GTA Online on February 9, 2023. While there aren’t many discounts this week, there are still some noteworthy deals worth checking out.
Properties, Upgrades, and Deals
This week, players can save 35% off on Retro Arcade purchases and upgrades with Jimmy and Wendy. Although the retro arcade is expensive to kit out, it provides access to the Diamond Casino Heist, the ability to run drones from the bunker underneath, and an optional Master Control Center. The Master Control Center allows players to monitor and manage all of their GTA online businesses from a single location, making it a massive time-saver and one of the best quality-of-life updates in the game.
For car enthusiasts, the Peyote Gasser, a two-seater rear-wheel drive five-speed muscle car, is on sale for 35% off, bringing its price down to $523,250 (from $805,000). Though the car is quick and powerful, its handling is a bit challenging to manage on regular roads around the map. Meanwhile, the Roosevelt Valor is available for 35% off, making it $638.3 (from $982,000), but it’s also a bit sluggish and has poor handling.
The Entity MT superseries is available for 25% off, bringing its price down to $1,776,250 (from $2,355,000). This two-seater rear-wheel drive six-speed supercar is lightning fast and handles like it’s on rails, making it an overall brilliant drive.
Free Weapons
In this weekly update, players can get two free weapons: the Gutenberg Sweeper and the Machine Chain Gun, both of which typically retail for $14.6 million. Though the Machine Chain Gun burns through ammo and has poor accuracy, it’s a solid weapon and comes at no cost.
Technical Updates
The Rockstar developers have released numerous patches with various updates for GTA online. They have improved the Rockstar launcher for offline launching, downloading and installing games, and launching games through the Steam and epic stores. They have also fixed several glitches and exploits, including the Dax and Johann Cooldown Skip glitch, the Auto Shop Merge glitch, the Doomsday Heist Skip Prep glitch, and the Kyo Perico Wall Bridge glitch.
Lastly, the Taxi God Mode glitch has been patched, and there is a workaround available for players looking to continue exploiting the bug.
GTA 5 Update 2023
During the investor earnings call, Rockstar developers confirmed that despite the GTA 6 leak, it would not affect the planned release date. The release date is still unclear, and early to mid-2024 is only speculation.
