How GTA Online Bonus Weeks Work
Updated June 2026 · GTABonuses.com editorial
Every Thursday at approximately 6am BST / 1am EST, Rockstar Games resets GTA Online with a new set of weekly bonuses, vehicle discounts, and limited-time events. This reset is the single most important event for players who want to earn GTA$ efficiently — and knowing how it works helps you plan your week.
What changes every week?
Money & RP multipliers
Rockstar activates 2×, 3×, or 4× GTA$ (and sometimes 2× RP) on specific missions, heists, races, and businesses. These are the highest-priority activities that week because you earn far more than usual.
Vehicle and property discounts
A rotating selection of vehicles (usually 8–15) and occasionally properties go on sale for 30–50% off. These sales are the main reason players save money for specific weeks.
Prize ride
A vehicle is offered for free if you complete a specific challenge — usually winning a certain number of races. This is the most efficient way to acquire high-end vehicles.
Podium vehicle
The Lucky Wheel at the Diamond Casino has a new top prize each week. You get one free spin per day.
Weekly challenge
A bonus objective (e.g., "Complete 3 Contact Missions") that awards extra GTA$ or RP when completed.
Free items
Clothing, tattoos, or accessories available to claim for free in-game that week only.
When does the weekly reset happen?
The reset happens every Thursday at approximately 6:00am BST (UTC+1) / 1:00am EST. Rockstar publishes the weekly update on their Newswire site usually 30–60 minutes before the in-game reset. GTABonuses.com automatically publishes the full breakdown within minutes of the update going live.
What's the best strategy for bonus weeks?
The most common mistake is grinding an activity just because it has a high multiplier — without checking the base payout. A 4× multiplier on a slow mission can pay less per hour than a 2× multiplier on a fast one.
Use the weekly tracker on our homepage and the grind planner (select your available time and player type) to get a personalised priority list for each week's reset.
Do bonuses apply to all platforms?
Yes — GTA Online weekly bonuses apply to PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. The same bonuses are active on all platforms simultaneously. GTA+ exclusive content is limited to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
