GTA Online Closes Business Rivalries With a Free Nightclub
Rockstar wraps its Business Rivalries season with a free Nightclub, double payouts, and a chance at an extra $1,000,000 before the week runs out.
Score one for anyone still logging into GTA Online, because Rockstar just handed out a free nightclub and didn't ask a damn thing for it. Every player gets the Elysian Island Nightclub at no cost this week, and no doubt that includes the Xbox faithful too, since Rockstar has never been shy about spreading the wealth evenly across whoever's holding a controller. Credit where it's due: that's a genuinely generous close to the Business Rivalries season.
As Hazard lays out, the freebie comes stacked with incentives to actually use it. Nightclub Management popularity is doubled, Yohan's Nightclub Goods Missions pay double GTA$ and RP, and QuickiePharm Deliveries get the same 2X treatment. Featured Series modes and Community Combat round out the grind options for anyone who'd rather shoot their way to the payout.
The scoreboard read on this one is simple: business owners win big, casual players win a little, and Rockstar wins loyalty either way. The Weekly Challenge hands out an extra GTA$1,000,000 plus a Retro Fruit Tracksuit for hitting $1,000,000 in business sales, and there's still one last shot at the free Penaud La Coureuse with its HSW upgrade before the window closes. Guaranteed Business Battle clothing rewards carry over too.
Deal hunters get the Arbiter GT at 70% off alongside a wide batch of 30% vehicle discounts, while the Lucky Wheel, LS Car Meet Prize Ride, dealerships, Salvage Yard Robberies, and Gun Van all refresh for the week. The Kortz Center heist keeps running as well, with The Outcome of Endeavour, What Are Melons?, In Excess of Success, and The Girl With the Pearl Necklace still up for grabs.
As this site noted with GTA Online's Free Nightclub Week Is a Retention Play, Not a Gift, none of this is charity. It's a well-dressed reason to stay logged in one more week, and damn if it isn't working.
