GTA Online's Diamond Casino launch saw the biggest number of players since the game's release
GTA Online's Diamond Casino is very popular.
Rockstar Games said today the launch of its Diamond Casino and Resort DLC set a record for GTA Online.
According to the studio, the opening of the casino's doors on July 23 was the "biggest day and biggest week" of player numbers since GTA Online launched in 2013.
Player numbers weren't disclosed, but last we heard, the base game (GTA 5) had shipped 110 million copies worldwide.
The new space, called Diamond Casino & Resort, is located in the heart of Los Santos and is the “largest mass entertainment complex” in the game. Players can play various gambling games, bet on horse races, purchase new duds, and even own one of the penthouses.
Elsewhere in the blog post, Rockstar outlined what players can expect this week in-game.
For starters, the Vysser Neo Sports Car is now available, and it's pretty sharp as you can see in the clip.
