A little over per week after Grand Theft Auto Online launched, it became clear to developer Rockstar that it had bitten off way over it might chew. The launch of Grand Theft Auto V‘s multiplayer component was plagued with clogged servers and glitches from the instant it went live, and in mid-October Rockstar promised players $500,000 of free in-game cash as an incentive to stay around while the sport was being fixed.

After over a month of players complaining of lost cash, progress, and characters, Rockstar earlier this week released a patch for GTA Online that has supposedly gotten the sport in working order. With that out of ways, the developer has finally made good on its “stimulus package” promise.

The first $500,000 deposits have now begun rolling out to in-game player bank accounts. Any GTA Online player who played the sport during October is eligible for the cash. Rockstar predicts that it’s going to soak up to 2 days for all players to receive their cash.

The stimulus package should be seen as Rockstar’s apology for the failings that plagued GTA Online during its launch month. Over on its newswire, Rockstar thanked the GTA fans which have stuck with the sport through its messy launch:

Thanks exit to everyone for his or her continued patience and understanding while we worked through these issues, and we can’t wait to bring more into the area of GTA Online. On that note, stay tuned for more details at the Beach Bum update soon in addition to upcoming Social Club event announcements and more here on the Newswire.

The “Beach Bum” update is anticipated to hit GTA Online sometime this month.
