Grand Theft Auto Online is embracing the spooky season with a wave of new Halloween-themed content, and the Ludendorff Cemetery Survival mode has quickly become a fan favorite.

The mode's popularity is undeniable, with over 400,000 players diving in within the first 24 hours of its release – a staggering 270% increase compared to the player count for the Assault on ATT-16 mode during the same period, according to reliable GTA insider Tez2.

The brutality and challenge of the Ludendorff Cemetery Survival mode have captured players' attention, with it becoming a standout feature of the Halloween update. Its success highlights the enduring appeal of zombie survival experiences in gaming.
Players are clearly captivated by the new zombies mode, which brings a unique and eerie atmosphere to the familiar world of GTA Online. The mode's popularity is reminiscent of the acclaimed Undead Nightmare DLC for Red Dead Redemption, demonstrating the appeal of zombie-themed content within Rockstar Games' universes. Notably, the classic Red Dead Redemption and its Undead Nightmare DLC are set for release at the end of this month.
Although the Ludendorff Cemetery Survival is currently a limited-time event, its positive reception may just persuade Rockstar Games to make it a permanent addition to GTA Online or even include similar content in the highly-anticipated GTA 6.
As the mode continues to captivate players, it stands out as one of the most enjoyable additions to GTA Online's ever-expanding list of activities.
