Freemode Events

Freemode Events are a newly released subsequent feature in Grand Theft Auto Online. They were introduced in the Freemode Events Update, for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.

Freemode Events
Introduced in the Freemode Events Update, the Freemode Events are a feature which include various game competition modes without the need of loading screens or joining jobs.

Freemode Events will only occur in Public Grand Theft Auto Online sessions, therefore players can only access the events via a Public Session. Note that a empty Public Session will not meet the requirements to start an event.

Every 10? minutes, an event or challenge will become available. All players in the current session will be notified with a on-screen HUD message that an event will begin soon, and a timer in the bottom right corner will count down until the start of the event. In some instances, a "Prepare for [challenge]" message will appear, for Challenges only.

Once the event begins, all players in the session will be notified, regardless if they became part of the event.

Challenges
Every so often, challenges become available for players to compete in. They are much simpler and last less time than standard Events. Challenges vary, and are randomized from different categories, such as combat, vehicles and general game-play.

Time Trials
Time Trials are another kind of Freemode Event, which is set out like a freemode race. Players must go to the Time Trial location, and select to start the time trial. The race varies every week? , with the first ever Time Trial start location at the end of the Del Perro Pier.

List of Freemode Events

 * Hunt the Beast - Freemode Event where players must track down a random GTA Online player (the Beast), who is faster and stronger than all other players. The beast remains hidden from the radar, and has to visit 10 landmarks. Players must track him/her down and kill them.
 * Penned In - Freemode Event where players are to stay inside a moving circle, while trying to push all other competitors out of the circle. The circle moves, and gradually gets smaller. The last player to remain the circle wins the event.
