Los Santos is known for its warm weather almost as much as its crime, so it’s no surprise that many players want to know how to turn off snow in GTA Online. If you prefer the city to have its classic look and you don’t want to wait for the thaw, there’s a trick that will wipe all that pesky powder off your screen. Whether Rockstar intended for players to warm the city up themselves or not, there’s a quick and easy way to get the job done. All it takes is a day at the races. Here’s how to turn off snow in GTA Online.
GTA Online Snow Glitch
To turn off the snow in GTA Online, you’ll need to take advantage of a glitch. The process to trigger this glitch requires multiple steps, but it’s not hard to do once you know the trick. Here are the steps you’ll need to follow:
- Open the menu
- Navigate to “Online” and select “Jobs”
- Select “Play Jobs” and navigate to the “Rockstar Created” section
- Navigate to “Races” and choose one of the “Cayo Perico” events
- Once the race begins, open the menu
- Navigate to “Friends”
- Select one of your active GTA Online friends
- Select “Options” and then “Join Game”
Once you’ve completed the final step and loaded into another player’s session from the race mission, you should take the sunny weather with you into Los Santos. Because this snow removal technique is a bug rather than a feature, it can get a bit fussy. If it doesn’t work at first, try the process again with a different Cayo Perico race. Once the snow is turned off and can’t make a mess of your drifting, it’s time to get back to what GTA Online does best: crime.
