Rockstar is celebrating record player numbers with GTA Online's biggest cash giveaway yet and a few special freebies for Red Dead Online players.

In a rather lengthy website post, Rockstar announced that GTA Online's player base is at an all-time high in its seventh year since release. Without mentioning specific numbers, Rockstar said the release of The Diamond Casino & Resort preceded record-breaking "daily, weekly and monthly average players" in July and August. Reportedly, The Diamond Casino Heist carried those numbers through the holiday break, "bringing players back in bigger numbers than ever before over the holiday period."

Now onto the good (free) stuff. GTA Online is giving out $1 million GTA dollars to players who log in between January 30 and February 5, and another $1 million for logging in between February 6 and February 12. It's as simple as that, log in twice in those time periods and walk away with a cool $2 million to fuel your drug empire.

Rockstar also teased an open wheel racing series coming to GTA Online and "additional roles, new missions, and many more significant updates to come" for Red Dead Online.

Don't forget about the Red Dead Online Twitch Prime benefits - here's how to claim the Collector's Bag and Polished Copper Still Upgrade.

I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
