RockStar Games has extended the Grand Theft Auto V’s Christmas update on account of the recent service issues that were witnessed on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live websites.
An official notice by RockStar Games was announced via its Twitter account, "Due to issues with PSN & XBL connectivity, we're extending the GTA Online Festive Surprise Christmas Day inventory gifts for the time being.” However, the developer didn't say until when it’s extending the holiday-themed update, so it’s safe to assume it'll be available until further notice.
Sony's PlayStation Network and Microsoft's Xbox Live were down, starting on Christmas Eve, due to an apparent denial-of-service (DDoS) attack by the same group that claimed responsibility for grounding Sony Online Entertainment President John Smedley's flight back in August and other DDoS attacks. Xbox Live services were restored earlier today, but PlayStation Network is still inaccessible to many players, sadly preventing many of those who got PlayStation 4s this Christmas from playing their new consoles.
