GTA Online players may have noticed that Rockstar has recently given them $500,000.This latest development is seemingly out of nowhere. Players may start up the game only to receive a message from Rockstar themselves. A grand total of $500,000 has just been sent to their bank account.Of course, this mainly applies to console players. Based on Twitter reactions, multiple PC players haven't received their rewards. It's currently unknown why this is happening in the first place. Regardless, players can definitely appreciate the free money.Rockstar just gave GTA Online players $500kNick@GhillieYTWut da hell? I can't remember where this is from lol36910Wut da hell?

It’s a mystery. twitter.com/ghillieyt/stat…GhillieMaster couldn't find any concrete answers to his questions. Nobody really knows why Rockstar decided to give players money in GTA Online. He went to GTA Forums, but alas they didn't know, either.It would be reasonable to believe that it's a GTA+ reward, since the website lists a bonus of $500,000. However, GhillieMaster doesn't have GTA+ membership, yet he still received the rewards. This is a rather peculiar mystery for GTA Online players. Of course, free money is still free money.Right now, players can only speculatedash@dash_GTA@GhillieYT I got it too, already had my gta+ 500k earlier this month. I think maybe it was for NOT doing the RP glitch lmao.@GhillieYT I got it too, already had my gta+ 500k earlier this month. I think maybe it was for NOT doing the RP glitch lmao.$500,000 is a lot of money to spend in this game. Players won't be complaining about where they got it from. With that said, there has to be a reason why Rockstar gave it to them.Some players speculated that Rockstar wanted to thank them for not abusing the RP glitch. Keep in mind that they just hit a reset wave on those players. Meanwhile, others believe that Rockstar accidentally gave it away.Either way, it doesn't really matter in the long run. Rockstar isn't going to just take away all that money. Players should just enjoy their free cash rewards. They can spend it on anything from vehicle upgrades to nice apartments.PC players may have been excludedDano@danoskc@GhillieYT I even got 500K on my xbox one character and my xbox series x character but no 500K on pc@GhillieYT I even got 500K on my xbox one character and my xbox series x character but no 500K on pcSome players have noticed that Rockstar only gave the free money to console owners.
