GTA Online’s arena mode was added to the game in 2018 and has been popular amongst players because of the different arena events as well as the rewards players can obtain within the high-octane setting. In the past, rewards have included discounts on some ofGTA Online’s best arena vehicles, but this week’s double cash and double RP are especially exciting because they can be used in any ofGTA Online’s game modes, not just the arena.
Rockstar seems to be doing its best to get new and returning players excited about the multiplayer game recently, having run a string of events like the double cash and RP event on top of hiring anAssociate Cheat Operations Analyst to curb cheating in Rockstar games,includingGTA Online. With less cheaters online, and with more rewards available, Rockstar is certainly making a strong case for its nearly decade old game.
