Grand Theft Auto Onlinehas a variety of new events going on this month, and one of them will see the game giving out a free gift to owners of theGrand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition. Although fan reception ofGrand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Editionhas been decidedly mixed,Grand Theft Auto Onlineis another story, especially when it’s giving away a free set of iconic Liberty City Penitentiary Coveralls.
Fans of the series might recognize the Liberty City Penitentiary Coveralls asClaude’s prison outfit fromGrand Theft Auto 3, which might sound like a good anniversary gift for veteranGrand Theft Autofans. However, the decision to lock the so-called free gift behind theGrand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Editiondoesn’t seem to have been well-received.

According to theGrand Theft Auto Onlinesection of Newswire on the Rockstar Games website, unlocking the Liberty City Penitentiary Coveralls is straightforward, but involves a fair bit of waiting. All players have to do is play any title found inGrand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition, including theremake ofGrand Theft Auto 3, and then log intoGrand Theft Auto Onlineat any time before November 25. After a brief wait, the Liberty City Penitentiary Coveralls will reportedly be waiting in players' wardrobes within 72 hours of logging in again after December 2 rolls around.
While it’s a little odd that there’s so much waiting involved, this event seems to fit the existing pattern for online game tie-in events. The real issue appears to be that fans don’t want to buyGrand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Editionjust for the Liberty City Penitentiary Coveralls. The title’s sloppy release has led toRockstar Games' reputation taking serious damage, and thisGrand Theft Auto Onlinetie-in event may not be the way to restore it.
Otherevents currently available inGrand Theft Auto Onlineinclude doubled GTA$ and RP rewarded from work and story missions at the Diamond Casino & Resort, with an additional prize–the Red “The Diamond” Classic Tee–being given out free to players who finish The Diamond Casino Heist’s Finale before November 24. The Diamond Adversary Series will also be giving out triple rewards until the same date. Finally, players who log in this week will receive the Weekend Racer Livery for the iconic Bravado Banshee absolutely free.
