GTA Online's new weekly update is live now, kicking off the New Year's event by giving more free items to players. Ron needs help this week, giving 2X GTA$ and RP to players throughout the event in the Ron Jakowski Contact Missions. The Western PowerSurge electric motorcycle also makes its long-awaited debut in the game as part of the Los Santos Drug Wars DLC drip feed.

Players can earn double bonuses by playing Drop Zone and Hangar Sell Missions. Car showrooms have also received a fresh stock of vehicles for players to check out throughout the event and fresh weekly discounts are available now, with up to 30% maximum discount on select items.

The Gooch and the Weazel Plaza Shootout random events continue to remain in the game as Southern San Andreas is still covered in snow.
