GTA Online Getting Valentine's Day-Themed Update

Rockstar has announced GTA Online will be getting a Valentine's Day update this Friday.

Called the Valentine's Day Massacre, the update will be free and will add a number of new items and content to the multiplayer-centric mode.

On the weapon front, the Gusenberg Sweeper will be making its debut, available from Ammu-Nation stores or freely placed in characters' inventories in single-player mode. An armoured 1920s limo called the Albany Roosevelt will also be making its way to Los Santos in both modes, alongside a range of new double breasted suits, flapper dresses, sexy underwear and masquerade masks.

10 new jobs will also be added to the game, though everything that's being added will only be there for a limited time. If you manage to acquire them though, then you'll be able to keep them for good.

Rockstar has promised news on future patches, including the one that adds online heists, will be coming soon. GTA V was recently revealed to be the UK's fourth biggest-selling game of all time, which is hardly surprising; upon its release back in September 2013, GTA V became the UK's fastest-selling title ever, and managed to overtake lifetime sales of GTA IV in just three weeks, before going on to secure a stonking seven Guinness World Records. Despite threats from Activision over Call of Duty: Ghosts managing to reclaim some of them, the shooter failed to do so leaving Rockstar's star very much burning brightly.
