It's been over ten years since the exciting but controversial launch of GTA Online. In 2013, GTA V had just become the fastest-selling entertainment product ever, and everyone was focused on GTA Online. For those who played on Day One and faced big server problems, this gift is just for you right now.

If you log into GTA Online starting October 1, 2024, with a character created 11 years ago, you'll receive a gift: a new purple party hat with the number 11 on it. To put on the hat, go to the Party Hats section under Hats in your wardrobe or Interaction Menu. You’ll also get firework ammo to use!
Before, only the hats for years 1 to 10 were available in GTA Online, which were added in last winter's “The Chop Shop” update. If you didn’t create your character 11 years ago, don’t worry! You can still get this hat on the anniversary of when you made your character. Each year on your anniversary, you'll receive a new hat based on how long you've had your character. Right now, the most hats a player can get is up to the 11th one.
How to see character’s birthday in GTA Online
To see your GTA Online character’s birthday, press the pause button and go to the Stats tab. In that menu, scroll down to General on the right side. There, you’ll see the date when you created your character.
What anniversaries will come before GTA 6?
Next year, we’ll reach year 12, probably before GTA VI is released. A glitch confirmed that there will be party hats for years 12 through 15. Twitter user Finn Pup mentioned, “For some reason, my original character has 15 of them. I guess it was a mistake. So, it looks like Rockstar plans to support GTA Online for at least 5 more years.” Here is the Hat 15 along with the other three.
You can also get party outfits as birthday gifts. If your character is 5 years old, you’ll get the Bronze outfit. The Silver Party Suit is for characters that are 10 years old. We don’t know yet if there will be a Gold Party Suit for 15 years, but we think there will be.
