<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><B>SHANGHAI, PRC </B>&mdash; September
19, 2012 &mdash; Giant Interactive Group Inc. (NYSE: GA) (&ldquo;Giant&rdquo; or &ldquo;Company&rdquo;), a leading Chinese online
game developer and operator, today announced that its board of directors has recently approved a twelve-month extension for its
previous share repurchase plan dated September 26, 2011 (the &ldquo;Plan&rdquo;) which is set to expire at the end of September
2012. Upon such extension, Giant will continue to be authorized to repurchase up to the remaining balance of the US$50 million,
its American Depositary Shares, or ADSs, over the next twelve months, from time to time, in open-market purchases on the NYSE Euronext
at prevailing market prices, in trades pursuant&nbsp;to a Rule 10b5-1 repurchase plan, or otherwise, in accordance with applicable
federal securities laws, including the anti-manipulation provisions of Rule 10b-18, promulgated under the U.S. Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended. The timing and extent of any purchases will depend upon market conditions, the trading price of Giant&rsquo;s
ADSs and other factors, including customary restrictions on share repurchases. The repurchase program does not obligate Giant to
make repurchases at any specific time or situation. As of the date of this press release, the Company has paid US$7,235,757.76
and repurchased 1,744,909 ADSs under this Plan.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Mr. Yuzhu Shi, Giant&rsquo;s chairman and
chief executive officer said, &ldquo;Given the impressive growth to date of our new flagship <I>ZT Online 2</I> game, our solid
pipeline of new games in various genres, high margins and health cash flows, and continuous opportunities in the Chinese and global
online game market, we believe current share price levels do not fully reflect our recent performance and future growth prospects.
We have always been committed to creating value for our shareholders by returning capital in the form of dividends, such as our
US$3.00 per ADS special cash dividend paid in September 2011, and US$0.30 per ADS regular dividend paid in March and April 2012,
and through implementing share repurchase programs from time to time if they are in the best interest of our shareholders. We believe
these actions reflect our sound financial position, and will enhance shareholders' return as we aim to increase the value of our
Company.&rdquo;</P>
