During the times of Corona and home office, it is uncertain how work on your games will continue. Regarding events in GTA Online, there is good news from Rockstar Games.
What did Rockstar Games say? On March 15, Rockstar Games stated that they would now offer home office workstations in their studios to mitigate the effects of the Corona virus (COVID-19).
Many people on Twitter supported this and wished the employees to take care of themselves. However, others also asked how the content supply for online games would be handled. After all, many people would now sit at home and play.
In a further statement (via Twitter), this time from March 17, Rockstar Games also writes:
As we recently announced on Twitter, we are doing everything we can to keep our games available and running while we all spend more time at home. To this end, we will maintain our regular weekly schedule, but expect more events and activities within GTA Online and Red Dead Online to keep things fresh and entertaining for our community.

Update from March 19: The new bonus week for GTA Online is impressive. Rockstar Games is bringing the valuable diamonds back to the casino and unlocking more cool bonuses.
Why is this important?
Many gamers are at home: Due to the outbreak of the Corona virus, some people will now have to spend more time at home. Some are using this time to play. In Italy, people are now playing Fortnite and Call of Duty due to Corona.
Some will likely also seek out games from Rockstar Games. This is interesting for GTA Online and Red Dead Online because weekly bonus weeks are starting.
As indicated in Rockstar Games’ announcement, these events will continue.
More events against boredom? With the addition “… but expect more events and activities within GTA Online and Red Dead Online to keep things fresh and entertaining for our community,” the developers leave room for speculation.
Exclusive events may be planned that will be activated now during the time of the Corona virus. For example, bringing the diamonds as loot to the casinos in GTA Online or starting events in Red Dead Online that bring players more cash or new quests. However, this is only speculation at this time.
In any case, the news is likely exactly what all the players want to hear: New content will continue to be released in the coming days.
