The highlight of the new GTA Online Lunar New Year update is the brand new Lunar New Year Stunt Races. These are special race events that players can currently participate in. Unlike standard Stunt Races in the game, the new races feature a Lunar New Year theme across three different maps or circuits. One can expect to see fireworks and paper lanterns in the sky, making it stand out from other race events.

Both beginners and veterans should try these new race events, either from the Legion Square or the Options menu. Up to 15 players can compete with one another in this new type of Stunt Races.

2) New collectibles

Players can find three different types of Yuanbao collectibles:

One with a snake decal
