In GTA Online, the Winter Event ended before the New Year. Gamers criticized Rockstar for this decision, stating that the company should have extended the event for all of the New Years. During the event, GTA Online users could play snowballs with each other and enjoy the snowy landscapes.
The Los Santos Winter Map has been included for a week, starting December 23rd. Already on December 30, the changes were removed. On reddit, players said that the developers have deprived them of the holiday, making a gift only to those who have already celebrated the holiday on December 25, Catholic Christmas.
Los Santos is a fictional city from GTA. Its prototype is Los Angeles, where snow falls extremely rarely and is considered an anomaly. Residents of California, in order to see snow and play snowballs, are forced to climb the mountains.
One of the awards in honor of the New Year and Christmas was the special design Gallivanter Baller ST SUV. In addition, the developers issued to players holiday kits with cosmetic items and ammunition, including a pyrotechnic installation and various types of explosives.
