Rockstar Games is pulling out all the stops for Halloween in Grand Theft Auto V, promising a packed schedule of eerie and exciting content for players.
First up, prepare for a horrifying return to Cayo Perico and Ludendorff Cemetery Survival modes, now infested with hordes of zombies! Players will battle relentless waves of the undead, including massive juggernauts, armored conquistadors, splitters, bewitched animals and their trainers, zombie DJs, and many more grotesque foes.
Cayo Perico Survival offers double GTA$ and RP rewards until October 8, while Ludendorff Cemetery Survival cranks up the terror with triple rewards from October 23 to November 5.
The GTA Online Halloween update also introduces a spine-chilling twist to the Slasher mode. This time, players will find themselves trapped within the claustrophobic confines of the Ramius submarine. One player becomes the Slasher, armed with a shotgun and a flashlight to navigate the darkness. After three intense minutes, the hunted gain their own shotguns to turn the tables. This intense mode will grant double GTA$ and RP from October 16-22. The classic versions of Slasher mode are also making a comeback throughout October.
Here’s a weekly breakdown of the terrifying themed modes coming your way:
- 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 (including Ramius Submarine)
But that’s not all! Rockstar hints at “plenty more off-kilter events” throughout the month. Keep an eye on the skies for UFOs and prepare for potential alien abductions! You can also assist investigators in uncovering evidence of supernatural beings, and scour the world for scattered jack o’ lanterns to collect bonus GTA$.
GTA+ subscribers have an extra treat in store, with exclusive Halloween-themed rewards arriving starting October 9, though the specifics are still under wraps.
For those looking ahead, Grand Theft Auto 6 is the next installment in the series. Originally planned for launch around this time, it experienced a significant delay to 2026 and is now slated for release on May 26, 2026.
