Playing on a Series X which boosted the game's graphics and recently got a 4k television. I cannot wait to see what it looks like with these upgrades.

I think your eyes are tricking you to think there's something different with the graphics, the Series X is still running the exact same version the original Xbox One ran for years.

As long as they bring back the peyote I hate it when it goes away.

snows cool but would be better with the one vehicle that gta doesnt have, snowmobiles.

I've been asking this since 2014 when the current snow tunable was added. Snowmobiles, we need this. I think if we ever get North Yankton in the Expanded part of Next Gen, as a robbery escape vehicle … that would be epic. 

Here is a far fetched idea, Snow plows and the ability to plow snow. It could work on a sub-server like Cayo Perico.

I've had the Series X since day one. The snow effects look amazing and the game play is 20x smoother!

Or you could just drive a vehicle with 4WD.

I don't think we will see such a dynamic weather system in this update, but rather on the E&E version (Since they are doing a complete combing through). Since the snow in this current gen is a tunable, it'll just be the same old snow forecast in the game. However, we do get Blizzard-like conditions with the current snow system, can't see anything when flying ... really hope they expand on that where you can't see when driving!!

somehow r* did it in rdr2 online last year, and that's on a version of the rage engine.

It's usually a supercar so you can't use it. Though one year we got the Streeter which was pretty much made for the snow.

[SpaceBeagle]

I had only 2 winters in LS, and for me - Snow is Off-Road season, gonna climb & slide me some hard tracks

Bit surprised at Rockstar this year, They didn't add the Festive clothing and decorations the usual time, which has always been a week before Christmas and Snowfall. Doesn't make much sense as they did it for Read Dead Online, weird. 

Not complaining by any means, I just find it strange that they didn't add it the usual time (should've been last week). All to look forward to regardless, just wish they would add it already haha.

I think it's because they wanted the new DLC to have it's time and theme that is not related to Christmas for a week.

 

I think Snow and Christmas clothes etc. will be back this Thursday.

Nah, I bet it'll start snowing whenever this free GTA Online PS Plus promo thing ends

 

Can't be letting freeloaders like me enjoy the snow

Oh yeah, snow comes around Christmas Eve, but it's the clothing and decor that is having me scratching my head. It should be out right? Usually have fun with my friends with our Festive Surprise outfits and checking out all the decorations in our properties and other locations. It gives that excitement days before the snow storm rolls in. Very very odd in my opinion. 

I swear .. global warming haha!

Last year the snow arrived earlier because of the lockdown, they even made an April 1st with snow because people where bored at home, let's see how's the calendar turns out this year.

Maybe because they don't want people rage quitting the new content due to the snow? 

I sure wouldn't be happy racing through one of the missions in a forced vehicle while getting pursued by terminator accurate AI.

 

Besides sometimes it feels like snow is here for two weeks, be nice if it's just 7 days so it doesn't outstay it's welcome.

I get that, snow will interfere with that. The main point is the clothing and decorations, They usually have that out before the snow events. Seems strange to me. 

[Shiloh Comes]

My problem with the snow is not the snow. It's the fog during the day. If they gave us bright, crisp blue skies during the day, which would be MUCH more realistic, then it wouldn't feel like I was playing trapped inside Tupperware.

No, it's always a week after the DLC drops.

You're right, however, the Decorations and clothing is always added a week before christmas, I find it odd they didn't do this yet. Doesn't make much sense.

You seem to be misreading what I'm saying, The Festive clothing and Decorations is not apart of the DLC and it comes 1 week before Christmas. It is odd they never added the clothing and decorations specifically into the game at the usual time. This year, they didn't do that, in fact, they didn't even have a newswire post all on the subject. Red Dead Online has it already but not Grand Theft Auto Online and it doesn't matter when a DLC drops in December .. they always have those things in the game before Christmas every year. It seems Rockstar is failing to add the content in the game at the usual date, it's strange.

That is all I'm pointing out

Snow comes and goes, but they hype up that event and christmas in general by adding those things 1 week before, I just don't get it why they didn't. DLC content doesn't matter at all and doesn't interfere with the main update.
