July 24, 2018ByPranay Desai

Starting this Friday, watching your favorite Facebook Gaming creators play GTA Online will get even more rewarding. We're excited to team up with our friends at Rockstar to launch free, In-Stream Rewards for fans that tune in to select GTA Online livestreams on Facebook.

Part of Rockstar's After Hours update for GTA Online, fans can earn free, GTA$ rewards by watching livestreams from the official Rockstar Games Page and several partnered creators from the Facebook Gaming Creator program. It's the first time Rockstar has integrated in-game rewards for livestreaming, and is available for all fans that link their Rockstar Games Social Club account to their Facebook account.

The first stream in the exclusive Facebook Gaming In-Stream Rewards Series kicks off this Friday, July 27 at facebook.com/rockstargames with the Official After Hours Live Stream from Rockstar NYC. The series will feature special guest livestreamers from the Facebook Gaming Creator Program and will continue on with weekly livestreams throughout mid-August. You can follow and watch all the livestreams by visiting fb.gg, our destination for gaming videos on Facebook. Stay tuned for more info later this week, including the guest list of Facebook Gaming creators in the Series.

In-Stream Rewards is part of the new PC Games SDK that Facebook Gaming announced at GDC this year. For more info on how to help more players connect and play your games with the PC Games SDK, check out our developer page and our recent session at F8.
