In addition, players can partake in snowball fights and admire a free Christmas tree in their virtual apartment. It’s a neat aesthetic twist that’s a blast to experience with friends. Just try and avoid killing each other.
Time will tell whether any new goodies are planned. Festive Surprise follows shortly in the footsteps of Doomsday Heist, the latest free expansion for Rockstar’s popular online title.
