The Sumo Adversary mode has seen a rise in its reward system with the update for the new event week, which runs from March 9 through March 15, 2023. Players can now win double money and RP upon successfully completing the Sumo Adversary Mode.

To play this game mode, players will have to do the following:

  • Step 1 - Open the options menu
  • Step 2 - Now move to the online tab
  • Step 3 - Select Play Job
  • Step 4 - Select Rockstar Created
  • Step 5 - Go to Adversary Modes
  • Step 6 - Scroll down to Sumo Adversary Mode

The Sumo Adversary mode was added to GTA Online via the Lowriders: Custom Classics updated on March 15, 2016. Similar to traditional Sumo fighting, players must push their opponents out of the designated area to win the match.

However, in this case, players take control of a car they select before the game begins and have to shove opponent cars out of the dedicated match zone to knock them out. Whichever team knocks out all the cars of the rival team first is declared the winner.

This game can be played among two to eight players divided into two to four teams. The specifics of this can be configured in the lobby before starting the Sumo Adversary Mode. Do note that handbrakes are not available in this Adversary Mode.

There are six Sumo Adversary Mode match types available for players to choose from. All of them occur at unique areas within the Los Santos and Blaine County map.

Below is a list of all the maps that are used for different Sumo Adversary Modes:

  • Sumo I - ULSA roof, Richman
  • Sumo II - Island going north from Paleto Bay
  • Sumo III - Von Crastenburg Hotel roof, West Vinewood
  • Sumo IV - Maze Bank Tower roof, Pillbox Hill
  • Sumo V - Top of the containers on SS Bulker, Port of Los Santos
  • Sumo VI - Sightings Bar and Restaurant roof, Empire Way, Los Santos International Airport

Each area poses a different kind of challenge in the form of map layouts depending on the vehicle players select to play this GTA Online game mode.


The Sumo Adversary Mode is one of the most fun game modes available in GTA Online, and now that there are double rewards on offer from March 9 through March 15, 2023, it has become the perfect time to indulge in this entertaining match type with friends.
