Rockstar Games brought the season cheer when it finally revealed gameplay footage for Heists in Grand Theft Auto Online. Even if the actual DLC is out in early 2015, it’s certainly better than the “soon” answer we’ve been hearing for more than a year now.

Fortunately, to make the wait for Heists all the more easier, Rockstar has promised some secret Christmas gifts for players in an official Q&A session today.

“We, as a company, have always been about trying to make something that is good rather than hitting a date. We apologize when this gets frustrating but firmly believe that rushing out second-rate content does not do anyone any favors. Hopefully you agree that yesterday’s new Trailer is a sign that Heists are shaping up nicely, but we still need some time to fine tune them.

“Because we need a little time to get Heists right, we are going to give you a small Christmas gift to keep you entertained until we are done with them.”

There’s been no indication as to what the gift may be and Rockstar is remaining tight-lipped on the same. “We prefer to keep such things as a surprise, but without giving away any details (no peeking under the tree!), we can say that we do have a few seasonal treats in the works for players on all four systems to enjoy this coming holiday season in GTA Online. Look for details on that very soon.”

Thoughts? Let us know below.
