GTA Online News (August 15, 2019)

Rockstar Games is happy to announce that this week, GTA Online’s newest supercar, the Progen Emerus, is now available at Legendary Motorsport. Also debuting this week are the RC Time Trials, offering an additional 2X GTA$ & RP on top of the current GTA$100K payouts for all Time Trials (total of GTA$200K). Double rewards are also available in the Arena War Series, while the Diamond’s Lucky Wheel now features the Dinka Jester Classic as its top prize, all until August 21st.

All rise for the Progen Emerus, a king among cars with all the qualities you would expect of a true leader: reliability, refinement and the ability to go from zero to ridiculous like it’s absolutely nothing. Get ready to rule the road.

The Progen Emerus supercar is now in stock at Legendary Motorsport.

Imagine controlling a race car with just your thumbs and forefingers. Sound absurd? That’s because it is. But don’t let that stop you from grabbing the remote of an RC Bandito and smashing each other’s records all to pieces in new RC Time Trials. 

With the release of The Diamond Casino & Resort, Time Trial payouts were permanently increased from GTA$50K to GTA$100K. Double down this week by picking up 2X GTA$ & RP on the brand-new RC Time Trials, that means a cool GTA$200K for successful completion. Simply head to the new RC Time Trial corona on your map to burn some tiny bits of rubber in your curb-height monster-truck.

If you’re looking for full-scale mayhem and destruction, collect some extra danger money in the Maze Bank Arena by joining the Arena War Series, where all modes are dishing out 2X GTA$ & RP through until August 21.

Stop by the lobby and give the Lucky Wheel its free daily spin for the opportunity to win GTA$, RP, clothing and more. This week’s top prize is a street racing icon from the days of yore – the Dinka Jester Classic.

Visit the Casino Store to browse a rotating selection of exclusive clothing and accessories, with returning items such as the Broker Silk Robe and Chips Earrings, as well as sculptures and installations that your friends can gawk at in your Penthouse atop The Diamond. After all, that’s what wealth is all about: conspicuous consumption, questionable investments and wearing robes outdoors.

If all that talk about burnt rubber and mayhem left you worried about the bottom line, fret not. Take 30% off everything from the RC Bandito to Arena War vehicles, upgrades and amenities, including:

Twitch Prime members who linked their Twitch and Rockstar Games Social Club accounts before August 12 can claim their free Master Penthouse in-game via the website on their iFruit. But wait, there’s more: players who completed sign-up by August 12 can take 75% off the B-11 Strikeforce‘s sticker price and 85% off the Imponte Ruiner 2000. They will also receive an additional 10% off all of the vehicle and amenity discounts listed above.

When you’re broke, nobody tells you that there’s a level above VIP. Luckily, this week marks the beginning of the second qualification period for The Diamond Program. Penthouse owners need only log in to GTA Online this week to qualify for Silver Status and a quick GTA$250,000 – so there’s literally no excuse to be broke anymore. Take advantage of the opportunity while you can, pull your bootstraps up and act like you’ve been here before.

Stay tuned to the Rockstar Newswire as we announce new gameplay, vehicles and more updates in the coming weeks, and head over to the Social Club Events page for all current special events, bonuses and discounts in GTA Online.

The Diamond Casino & Resort’s slate of exclusive rewards expands this week with an assortment of new perks and up to GTA$400,000 in gifts. Those seeking to keep the perks rolling can play GTA Online any time before  August 21 to get the latest Diamond Program benefits, detailed below:

To qualify for Silver Status this period, Penthouse owners need only log into GTA Online anytime between August 15 and 21. In return, they’ll be rewarded with GTA$250,000.

There are plenty of reasons to help Mr. Cheng protect his business interests from the imperious magnates of the Duggan family. Namely, completing the second Casino Story Mission, “House Keeping,” affords players Gold Status in the Diamond Program, rewarding:

• An additional GTA$50K
• The playing cards-themed Royals Tattoo

If you already qualified for Gold status during the previous award period, you need only log in to GTA Online between today and August 21 to make sure you’re on the list for the rewards listed above.

They don’t just give Platinum Status to anyone. Gold Status members can earn it by completing 5 Casino Work assignments for Ms. Baker to receive:

• An additional GTA$50K
• A vintage Benny’s Original Motor Works poster to decorate the walls of your Penthouse.

Those who have previously qualified for Platinum status simply need to log in to GTA Online between today and August 21 to qualify for the above rewards.

Make no mistake: Diamond Status is for those willing to go the extra mile. Platinum Status members who complete all Casino Story missions (whether completed this period or in the previous qualification period) will earn you:

• GTA$50K
• The exclusive Red Diamond Tee

These rewards stack, meaning that completing all of the prerequisites for each membership level will award you with a total of GTA$400,000 in addition to the items detailed above.

All of the Diamond Program rewards detailed in this post will be granted by August 28.
