Rockstar has unveiled its Halloween update for Grand Theft Auto 5, bringing new horrifying vehicles, masks and modes to celebrate the occasion.

The update is available now for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC — though some users have reported problems downloading it. It will be available until 16 November, though anything that is acquired before then will stay available after.

Rockstar has added two new vehicles to the game: a hearse and a “Franken Stange”. There will also be 20 new Bobbleheads to be added to dashboards.

The game will also feature new masks and face paints, so that characters can be dressed up ready for Halloween. The masks are available in the “Monsters” section of the store, and a Halloween mask will be the default option if users are doing a heist during the Haloween period.

Rockstar has also added a new “Slasher” adversary mode. In that game, one person is designated the “Slasher” and the others have to run away, like in a horror film, hiding out in the dark to try and survive.

Alongside the new additions, Rockstar will be holding special events during the Halloween weekend.

Some users had reported problems downloading the update. Rockstar said that it was aware of the problems and was fixing them.
