How to play GTA Online’s new King of the Hill mode – Rewards and more

David Purcell

Rockstar Games have decided to freshen up GTA Online yet again with the introduction of a brand new game mode, King of the Hill, as part of the game’s latest content update. 

As is usually the case with these content updates, the developers have added a brand new car to be won at the Diamond Casino. All players have to do it step right up to the Lucky Wheel game inside the point of interest and take a spin.

If it lands on the car part of the wheel, you could be driving back your apartment in a brand new $1,795,000 Principe Deveste Eight for free, which can be seen below. However, it’s the brand new game mode that will catch the eye of many players.

Take one (or more) spins at the Lucky Wheel in GTA Online with a chance to win the Principe Deveste Eight.

King of the Hill is now a playable mode in GTA Online and those who choose to give it a try will be granted an extra bonus of double GTA$ and RP, at least until October 16.

“Lay your claim to the throne in King of the Hill, a brand-new mode where up to 16 aspiring monarchs across 2-4 teams wrestle for royal ascension,” the official description states. “Grab your weapon of choice, head for the high ground and assert your dominance in seven different maps spanning the fine state of San Andreas.”

For those who would like to jump right into the action, Rockstar’s weekly content update patch notes have revealed a number of ways that the game mode can be launched. These can be found below.
