Rockstar Games has announced plans for how Grand Theft Auto V will celebrate Halloween, and there is a lot of spooky content on tap.
To begin with, the Cayo Perico Survival and Ludendorff Cemetery Survival modes are back, but with a zombie twist for Halloween. Players will face off against “tides of zombies” in these locations, along with “hulking juggernauts, armored conquistadors, splitters, possessed animals and their trainers, zombie DJs, and more,” Rockstar said.
The Cayo Perico Survival mode pays out double GTA$ and RP now through October 8, while the Ludendorff Cemetery Survival mode pays triple rewards October 23-November 5.
The GTA Online Halloween update also includes a variant of the Slasher mode. In this new twist, players battle it out in the tight confines of the Ramius submarine. In the Slasher mode, one person plays as the Slasher, armed with a shotgun and able to use a flashlight to get around. After a period of three minutes, the players being hunted are granted shotguns of their own to go after the Slasher. This mode will pay out double GTA$ and RP October 16-22. The standard versions of Slasher are back in October as well.
Additionally, Rockstar is adding a different Halloween-themed mode each week in October. Here is the schedule:
- October 2–8: Beast vs. Slasher
- October 9–15: Judgement Day
- October 16–22: Slasher (Ramius Submarine)
- October 23–29: Condemned
- October 30–November 5: Slasher (includes Ramius Submarine)
What’s more, Rockstar said fans can look forward to “plenty more off-kilter events” in GTA Online throughout October. For example, players may notice UFOs in the sky and might even see people get abducted. Players can also take on missions where they help investigators find evidence of supernatural beings. There are also jack o’ lanterns scattered throughout the world that players can collect for extra GTA$.
Finally, GTA+ subscribers are getting “Halloween-themed rewards” starting October 9, but they haven’t been officially announced yet.
GTA 6 is the next entry in the series, and it was originally supposed to launch sometime around now prior to its high-profile delay to 2026. It is now set for release on May 26, 2026.
