Rockstar Games recently announced the GTA Online winter update, and it looks like the studio has implemented the leaked Shark Card changes.

In a Newswire post on December 6, 2022, Rockstar Games stated that all Shark Card denominations will be boosted by 20-25% when players buy them directly in the game or via any platform store.

Here's what the developers had to say about the increase in Shark Card denominations:

"Get more of what you want faster with an across-the-board increase in the GTA$ value of all Shark Cards. Starting today, all Shark Card denominations have been boosted by 20–25% when purchased directly in GTA Online or via any of the platform stores. For special GTA+ Member Shark Cards, this is on top of the current 15% bonus GTA$."

Shark Cards are in-game cash cards that can be purchased by players with real-world currency.
