In a bold move that’s stirring up the GTA Online community, Rockstar Games announced on March 18, 2025, a massive $3,000,000 in-game cash bonus for a select group of players.
Revealed through an official Rockstar Support article, this one-time windfall offers recipients the chance to splurge on high-end vehicles, lavish properties, or other luxuries in the ever-evolving world of Los Santos. But here’s the twist: this generous payout isn’t for everyone.
The eligibility for this hefty bonus comes with specific conditions. Rockstar targets players who’ve taken a break from the game—specifically, those who haven’t logged into GTA Online in the last 60 days.
To qualify, players must also have a linked Rockstar Games account with no history of bans or suspensions. Those who’ve claimed similar offers before are excluded, meaning dedicated daily players are left out of this windfall.
The $3 million—roughly equivalent to 60 Shark Cards based on current in-game pricing—could be a game-changer for returning players looking to dive back into the action.
This initiative seems designed to rekindle interest among lapsed players, especially with Grand Theft Auto 6 on the horizon.
Posts on X show a split reaction: some returning players are thrilled, with one user exclaiming, “$3M just for coming back? Time to dust off the controller!”
Meanwhile, active fans feel snubbed, with comments like, “What about us grinding every day? No love for the loyal?” Rockstar’s strategy aligns with recent updates, including the GTA 5 Enhanced release for PC, which brought ray tracing and faster load times to desktop players last week.
While Rockstar hasn’t revealed how many players qualify or the total giveaway cost, the move underscores their efforts to keep GTA Online vibrant more than a decade after its debut.
Eligible players must log in soon to claim their millions, though no exact deadline has been specified.

As the GTA community debates this exclusive offer, one thing’s clear: Rockstar knows how to keep Los Santos buzzing—whether you’re cashing in or just watching from the sidelines.
