Earlier this month Rockstar announced that it would be giving GTA Online players $500,000 of in-game currency to make up for the title’s rocky launch. That money was expected to be available not long after a recent title update, but due to ongoing technical problems the developer has decided to delay the cash gift. “We of course want to ensure that game progress loss issues are sufficiently sorted before distributing the GTA$ to everyone,” Rockstar explained. “We have a few more tweaks and fixes to make in a new title update that will hit sometime next week and then we will distribute the cash.” No specific date was given, but considering GTA Online’s ongoing troubles, you may want to just stick to playing Grand Theft Auto V in single-player for now.
