A New Era for Player-Created Content

Rockstar Games has launched the Mission Creator, its latest tool designed to let the GTA Online community build and share their own adventures. The feature arrives as part of a broader push to expand the game's lifespan through user-generated content, a strategy that has proven successful in other titles. The Mission Creator is the first in a suite of in-depth tools that Rockstar says will empower players to unleash their creativity. The company has already demonstrated its potential by collaborating with the content creator group GTA Series to produce the inaugural entry in what it calls the Community Mission Series.

‘Old School Hits’ Pays Homage to the Trilogy

The first community-made mission, titled 'Old School Hits', draws inspiration from the original Grand Theft Auto trilogy. GTA Series crafted the experience using the new Mission Creator, and it will be available exclusively on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and the PC Enhanced edition. Rockstar announced the collaboration in a Newswire post on Tuesday evening. The company stated that 'Old School Hits' marks the beginning of a series of community-driven missions that will roll out over the coming months.

Generous Incentives for Creators and Players

To encourage participation, Rockstar is offering substantial rewards for creators whose missions get featured. Those selected will receive GTA$10,000,000, the ultra-rare Rockstar Community Series Varsity Jacket, and a Mansion Trophy. For all players, the upcoming Event Week starting Thursday, April 30, will feature 4x GTA$ and RP on 'Old School Hits' for a limited time. This coincides with the weekly update that runs until April 30, which includes double money on Counterfeit Cash sell missions, as well as bonuses on Community Race Series and Street Dealer Weed Sales.

Weekly Bonuses and Vehicle Discounts

The current weekly update, which began on April 23, offers 2X GTA$ and RP on Counterfeit Cash sell missions, Community Race Series, and Street Dealer Weed Sales. Additionally, players can earn 10X GTA$ and RP on Smoke on the Water Legal Work. Vehicle discounts this week reach up to 30% off on a wide range of cars, including the Enus Deity, Lampadati Corsita, HVY Menacer, and Grotti Cheetah. The Gun Van provides a free Baseball Bat and a 50% discount on the Battle Rifle. GTA+ members receive a free Stun Gun and 70% off body armor.

Podium Vehicle and Prize Ride Details

Early information about this week’s update, shared on Reddit, reveals that the podium vehicle at the casino is the Vulcar Warrener HKR. The prize ride, the Truffade Adder, can be earned by finishing in the Top 2 of the LS Car Meet Series races for three consecutive days. Weekly challenges offer additional rewards: players who win the Hunting Pack (Get Lamar) mode twice will receive the Guffy Drug Rug Hoodie and $100,000 in-game.
