‘GTA V’ 1.05 Update Release To Include Holiday DLC, More Features Leaked
Rockstar Games is said to be gearing up for its holiday plans for "GTA V." According to the recent leaks, a Holiday-themed DLC is planned for release this December when the 1.05 title update for the game goes live.
NillxModz from se7ensins claims source codes from the developer content of "GTA V Online" reveals a Holiday-themed DLC will be available on Dec. 23, the same day the 1.05 title update is said to be released as well. While Rockstar Games has yet to confirm these leaks, NillxModz has compiled some of the features believed to be available to all consoles e.g. PS3, PS4, Xbox One and Xbox 360.
Aside from the previously mentioned scarf, t-shirt, suit jacket, pumps and suit trousers, NillxModz adds four new Christmas-themed clothing will be included in the DLC. However, no details have been revealed regarding the additional outfits since per NillxModz they are still in "on-identifiable format" in the source code.
Additionally, Christmas lights will likely also be a feature based on the other leaked source codes. These codes include 1) XMAS_STRT_CENTRAL 2) XMAS_STRT_DOWNTWN 3) XMAS_STRT_COUNTY 4) XMAS_STRT_APT.
The inclusion of audio music, specifically horn, pertaining to Christmas can also be heard on vehicles. "Tis The Season" and "Deck the Halls" will allegedly also be added as modification to vehicles in "GTA V Online." Each sound lasts 7.4 seconds and once applied on the vehicle, NillxModz claims players can keep the horn forever.
Some features in the Holiday-themed DLC may not be available to all consoles. According to NillxModz the 1 Limited Time Christmas Apartment Interior and the red sky effect during snowfall will only be available to next-gen consoles.
The credibility of the leaks remains unconfirmed. However, according to a previous report from the International Business Times NillxModz also once revealed a code from the 1.04 title update for "GTA V" that refers to the Holiday DLC.
"MP_HOLIDAY_SNOW_DLC_CONTENT_ON_OFF":[{"value": false}],
The code is understandable enough with the mention of the word "snow." According to NillxModz there will be two types of snow feature in the Holiday DLC; gradient controlled snow and last-generation snow. The latter will supposedly just be a white layer of snow on the roads and buildings while the gradient is referred to as a "powdery snow."
"On December 25th 2014 the streets of Los Santos and Blaine County will be filled with beautiful, powdery snow. At 12:30PM UTC which is a few hours after the snow starts, you will begin to notice ice on the roads, this is when the gradient part kicks in," NillxModz says.
However, Rockstar Games has yet to officially announce any Holiday-themed DLC for "GTA V Online." Likewise, developers have yet to give an update on the release of the 1.05 title update.
