Rockstar will offer a High Demand Bonus for completing Vehicle Cargo Sell Missions in a public session as part of the upcoming GTA Online winter update. This will enable players to earn more money while running the Vehicle Cargo business in the game.

The relevant Sell Missions were added to the game as part of the Import/Export update in 2016. They're part of the daily hustle for many players around the globe, and this new bonus will certainly make the tasks worth accomplishing. The rewards will be part of the Economy Updates for the winter patch 2022.


2) Permanent payout boost
