Grand Theft Auto is the sort of game that never fails to entertain its fans. Rockstar Games have always tried to make a certain statement in their games over the years. Making protagonists that are based on criminal backdrops, and trying to move up the ladder is a Rockstar signature. This signature can be seen in many of their DLCs also.

Recently, GTA online announced a DLC for their fans by sharing a trailer on their website. The DLC is called Criminal Enterprises and is inspired by real-life global crises. Although, after the announcement the fandom is divided into two sects and the crisis for Rockstar seems real now.

The new DLC is a satirical take on the gas hike and global warming. Which will also include some new cars and some better gameplay. Notably, the excitement for the new Camaro can be seen among fans.

Although, fans are upset about the unnecessary update because they expected more from the summer release, instead got the Criminal Enterprises DLC. This is more hurtful for the fans as the new GTA 6 rumor had made a huge hype and getting another DLC instead of an official announcement didn’t feel right at this point.

However, many fans are happy about the announcement. As the game promises better gameplay and also new weapons to try out. This update will be available from July 26 onwards.
