The longevity of a particular game relies a whole lot on its fan base, as well as whether there are enough new updates that will help the game remain “alive” and interesting. Rockstar Games take their releases very seriously, working hard for each new Grand Theft Auto title to make sure that it remains very much playable many years after its release. Grand Theft Auto V is one such title, where the online mode known as GTA Online, has kept fans and gamers alike glued to it despite not being the newest gaming title on the block. The big news? The latest free update to GTA Online has arrived, and this update sure brings with it its fair share of fun and enjoyment.

In fact, the latest GTA Online update will see the inclusion of 15 new stunt races, and is known as the 2017 GTA Online Stunt Race Event. In this particular event, the aforementioned 15 new Stunt Races will be able to keep players happy and occupied for some time. Not only that, I am quite sure that gamers would be more than happy to receive double the GTA$ as well as RP when it comes to all Rockstar-created and Rockstar-verified Stunt Races. This particular offer is good for a limited time only though, so make sure you take full advantage of it until March 7. Once that date has passed, it would be back to normal levels of GTA$ and RP.

Rockstar has summed up the latest 2017 GTA Online Stunt Race Event in a very apt statement, "All the hair-raising thrills and stomach-churning twists from Stunt Races are back and bigger than ever with 15 brand new Rockstar Created tracks. You'll race up glass towers, plummet through clouds, dodge turbines and clatter though bowling pins on your way to the finish line." You might want to start getting familiar with all of the 15 new race names as follows: Green Machine, In The City, Raton, Around The Docks, Pier Race, Big Drop, Trench III, Spinner, 45°, Mountain Drop, Gauntlet, Plummet II, Big M, Lift Off and Wall Climb.

That is not all there is to it though. Many other vehicles as well as clothing from the Cunning Stunts update will see a discount by up to 25%, all the way through to March 13. If you would like to get the most out of your in-game currency, then it would do you well to check out the likes of the Annis RE-7B, Emperor ETR1, Vapid Desert Raid, Vapid Trophy Truck, Obey Omnis, Lampadati Tropos Rallye, Liveries, Stunt Tattoos, and Stunt Clothing.

Apart from that, Rockstar also did make mention that Vehicle Warehouses will also offer a 25% discount for this week. What are you waiting for? It is about time you downloaded the latest GTA Online update in order to take full advantage of the discounts on offer, not to mention have a fresh breath blown into the title one more time. At this rate, it might be some time before the next iteration of GTA hits the market.
