GTA Online winter update features The Gooch and rare outfit unlocks

GTA Online has returned for 2024 with a winter update featuring snow and the character The Gooch. Players can find The Gooch to unlock a rare outfit, along with other festive activities like raiding a Christmas truck for gifts. To encounter The Gooch, players must spend at least 48 minutes in a session with two or more players, while carrying money and snacks. The Gooch will appear from green smoke, robbing players before they can chase and defeat him to reclaim their items. Defeating The Gooch rewards players with a gift that includes a mask and the full outfit. This event is time-sensitive, as players must act before the snow melts.
