While Rockstar Games doesn’t really a lot of titles in each console generation, the studio doesn’t really need to, as every game they release becomes a multi-million best-seller even years after its release. Case in point? Both GTA Online (via Grand Theft Auto V) and Red Dead Online (via Red Dead Redemption 2) are doing very well — to the point that Rockstar is even giving out GTA Online and Red Dead Online free rewards as a thank you!

In the press release, Rockstar Games announced that both titles had a record-breaking holiday season in 2019! Here’s some of the achievements of both:

• The highest players numbers in GTA Online ever, following the December launch of The Diamond Casino Heist which set a new high in player numbers (surpassing previous records for daily, weekly and monthly average players set in July and August 2019, following the release of The Diamond Casino & Resort).
• Red Dead Online hit a new peak in player numbers in December following the release of the Moonshiners update, topping those numbers again in January.
• GTA V’s biggest year ever for views on YouTube, with December 30^th to January 5^th being the biggest seven-day period ever, along with a new record for engagement via likes and comments in the week ending January 12^th, 2020.

As a thank you, the studio is offering the following as free rewards and bonuses for GTA Online and Red Dead Online:

• GTA$2,000,000, the biggest cash giveaway yet
• Free access to Red Dead Online Frontier Pursuit roles, special role item giveaways and much more
