Description

In August 2020, a single exploit shook GTA Online's economy. What started as a bug involving apartment trade-ins quickly became one of the biggest money glitches in GTA Online history, allowing players to generate millions of dollars in minutes. As the exploit spread across YouTube, Reddit, and Discord, Rockstar Games was forced into a race to stop it before it spiralled completely out of control. In this video, we break down how the Apartment Glitch worked, why it was so dangerous to GTA Online's economy, Rockstar's response, the mass account resets that followed, and the lasting impact it had on the game. If you enjoy GTA Online documentaries, deep dives, and the history behind Rockstar's biggest controversies, consider subscribing for more videos.
