Rockstar Games plans to support GTA Online “beyond” the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6, parent company Take-Two has confirmed.<\/p>\n
During a recent shareholders meeting (via ResetEra), Take-Two said “we will continue to support GTA Online after GTA 6 release and beyond.” Rockstar had already confirmed that GTA 6 is a single-player only game, so there won’t be a multiplayer mode when the game comes out in November. As a result, if you want your online Grand Theft Auto fix, you’ll have to divert your attention back to the original iteration of GTA Online.<\/p>\n
Presumably there will be another iteration of GTA Online later down the line, but it’s becoming increasingly unclear how and when it will be released. Will it be bundled with GTA 6 retroactively? Will it be a standalone game that players have to buy separately?<\/p>\n
Twitch boss Dan Clancy, however, is convinced GTA 6 multiplayer will be released in 2027. In a recent interview with Bloomberg, Clancy said he\u2019d spoken with Rockstar about what the developer has up its sleeve. \u201cWe spent a lot of time talking with Rockstar about their plans, and also helping them think about how they can engage our creators,\u201d Clancy said. \u201cYou are going to see this big bump with GTA 6, but then an even bigger one next year when they launch multiplayer.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, during the shareholders meeting, Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick responded (via GamesRadar) to a question about whether the plan for PC had been affected by console shortages, particularly the PS5 Pro.<\/p>\n
“The strategy of the company is, over time, generally speaking, to launch for any platforms for which there’s a meaningful audience,” Zelnick replied, keeping his cards close to his chest. “But that isn’t always the case, and certainly, if platforms were no longer viable, we could change that strategy.<\/p>\n
“And I would note that the PC platform is becoming more and more important to our company over time.”<\/p>\n
Zelnick previously said that Rockstar has historically always released its games for consoles first, suggesting a PC version of GTA 6 may follow later. How much later? It’s unclear, but GTA 5 remains a massively popular game on the platform.<\/p>\n
