Make sure you check out the following new or returning content in GTA Online this week:

This week’s podium prize is the Benefactor Stirling GT, a grand tourer valued at GTA$975,000, normally available through Legendary Motorsport.

To get the podium vehicle in GTA Online, go to the Diamond Casino & Resort and spin the Lucky Wheel in the main lobby. You are allowed one free spin every 24 hours (real-time) and have a 1-in-20 (5%) chance of landing on the vehicle icon to win the car on display.

This week’s prize ride is the Fathom FR36, a coupé valued at GTA$1,610,000, usually available from Southern San Andreas Super Autos.

To get the prize ride in GTA Online, you must visit the LS Car Meet and complete the following racing objective: Place Top 3 in the LS Car Meet Series for 4 days in a row.

Once this objective is met, you can claim your free vehicle through the “Prize Ride” option in the Interaction Menu while inside the car.

Time trials are open-world races that require you to beat a set “par time” to earn a one-time weekly payout of roughly GTA$100,000. The locations this week are:

The featured LS Car Meet rides available to push to the limit this week are:

Salvage Yard Robberies are multi-part heists that require you to steal high-end cars to either sell to Yusuf Amir for a large payout or dismantle for parts. The target vehicles for this week are:

The GTA Online weekly challenge is a rotating objective found in the Interaction Menu that rewards you with a hefty cash bonus upon completion. This week, you need to:

Most Wanted targets are high-value bounties accessible through the Bail Office. While there’s only one bounty available per real-life day, they pay huge rewards. Just remember to deliver them alive, or your reward will be cut by around GTA$30,000.

FIB files are available through the Darnell Bros Garment Factory and offer huge payouts upon completion every week. This week’s Priority File is:

Remember that completing the Priority File pays double the standard rate (roughly GTA$300,000).

These are the Luxury Autos vehicles on show this week:

These are the Premium Deluxe Motorsports vehicles on show this week:

Note: Premium Deluxe Motorsports and Luxury Autos dealerships are among the few ways to buy “hidden” vehicles that Rockstar removed from the Southern San Andreas Super Autos and Legendary Motorsport websites in previous updates.

GTA Online bonuses are Rockstar’s way of supercharging your grind each week, turning everyday missions and modes into serious money-makers. Here are all the ways to earn extra GTA$ and RP this week:

Every week, there are limited-time price cuts (usually 30–50% off) on specific vehicles, properties, and weapons. These are all the discounts available in GTA Online this week:

The Gun Van is a mobile black-market dealer that offers weapons, throwables, and body armor at a lower price than Ammu-Nation—if you can find it!

GTA Online weekly updates usually drop every Thursday, at around 9:00–10:00 AM UTC. The next reset is expected to release on March 5, 2026, and should run until March 12, 2026.

It’s worth noting that GTA Online weekly resets can be delayed or pushed back, either due to DLC launches (these often drop on Tuesdays), holidays and special events, strategic “dead weeks” before major releases, or technical issues—it’s really anyone’s guess.

Here is the global release schedule for the GTA Online weekly update across different time zones:

Note: These times are based on standard time conversions. Local start times may change by 1 hour due to daylight saving time in certain regions.
