Proclaim your loyalty to the iconic industries fighting for control of Southern San Andreas’ hearts and minds in the Brand Wars Event, spanning the next two weeks in GTA Online.

This trademark turf war takes place across a selection of incentivized Odd Jobs, Freemode Events, and sponsored Hotring Circuit Series Races. Assist friendly faces making deliveries and sabotage your rivals to show everyone who really owns Los Santos.

Plus, weekly completion bonuses have reset, which means you can claim an outsized initial GTA$ payment across a number of Heists and Missions in GTA Online the first time you complete them.

BRAND WARS TWITCH DROPS AND MORE

Connect your Rockstar and Twitch accounts, then watch select streamers on Team Sprunk or Team eCola from August 13–26 to determine your side and earn Brand Wars Twitch Drops. Watch select streams to get the corresponding Sprunk Sweatsuit or eCola Tracksuit to support your preferred beverage, along with up to GTA$2,000,000.

Play GTA Online anytime now through August 26 to claim a free Declasse Hotring Sabre (Sports), the Sprunk and eCola plates, and the Sprunk x eCola livery for the Hotring Sabre. Sprunk and eCola Bodysuits are also available for free from clothing stores throughout Los Santos during the Brand Wars Event.

EARN QUAD REWARDS BY COMPETING IN HOTRING RACES

Make your sponsors proud by trading paint and contract-mandated decals with competitors in Hotring Races as you race for 4X GTA$ and RP through August 26. Pull up to the Featured Series corona in Legion Square to compete.

Put that free Hotring Sabre to work, or add the Bravado Hotring Hellfire (Sports) and Karin Hotring Everon (Sports) to your racing repertoire — both Hotring-eligible stock cars are 40% off at Southern San Andreas Super Autos.
