GTA Online Festive Update brings Bomb Ball

GTA Online has introduced their own spin on Battle Royale, with Motor Wars, and now it seems that a new game mode, called Bomb Ball, takes inspiration from Rocket League. Check out some gameplay below

From the description

Let's face it: although you can get behind the naked aggression and anarchic mob-rule, you've never truly understood the rules of soccer. Well, new Arena War Mode Bomb Ball gets rid of all those fussy technicalities and restrictions on violence and boils things down to the real heart of the matter: shoving enormous explosive devices into the other team's half before they go off. Welcome to the beautiful game.

The key difference here is that these balls are explosive and you can actually blow up your opponent team with them.
