Tax Rebate Season has Come to Grand Theft Auto Online
If you aren't going to be getting major savings this tax season, at least Rockstar Games wants to show you some love with a GTA Online tax refund. Starting today, players can ring in tax season in style with a $250,000 in-game refund for simply logging into GTA Online at any point from Feb 16th until Feb 26th. In addition, all GTA$ spent in GTA Online between today and the 26th will also get a 10% rebate with up to $GTA1M cash back.
The full announcement is below:
Tax season is upon us and with 2017's population growth, the San Andreas Treasury Department is happy to report a new stimulus for all citizens – hustlers, triggers, shot callers and kingpins alike. Plus, take advantage of new state-wide GTA$ rebate program to spend on anything in GTA Online; from sensible investments like Executive Offices to submarine-sports car hybrids like the Stromberg.
Simply log in to GTA Online at any point between February 16th and 26th to qualify for a GTA$250,000 stimulus bonus. Also, all GTA$ spent in GTA Online between February 16th and 26th will get you a 10% rebate (up to GTA$1M cash back). Then come back after February 27th to claim your GTA$ stimulus bonus and GTA$ rebate.
All GTA$250,000 stimulus bonuses and GTA$ rebates will arrive in your Maze Bank account between February 27th and March 6th.
While $250,000 isn't exactly a fortune in GTA Online where everything costs a literal arm and a leg, but the refund is still nothing to sneeze at, nor is the kickback bonus you get on GTA$ in-game.
GTA Online remains an enormous revenue driver for both Rockstar and Take-Two, something that has altered the entire ecosystem of Rockstar as they've put their development of single player DLC, other games, pretty much everything on hold outside of Red Dead Redemption 2 in order to continue to support GTA Online with wave after wave of content and it seems to be working. GTA Online has made Grand Theft Auto 5 one of the top selling games every year despite being over four years old.
