The GTA 6 announcement has finally happened, yet Rockstar Games seems to not want to let go of GTA Online. While fans await the trailer for GTA 6 to launch, it has been revealed that a new DLC pack will be hitting GTA online in December too. It is a curious development, given the fact that fans thought GTA 6 would be Rockstar’s prime focus from now on.

GTA Online might be getting a new DLC, and this is coming as a surprise to many gamers. This new DLC is an indication that Rockstar Games might just drag this multiplayer mode to the very day of GTA 6’s launch.

When rumors of new DLC for GTA Online dropped, fans were a little curious. They were nevertheless interested in it. The game saw record player numbers at its launch, too. It was no surprise either; Rockstar Games had designed exactly the game that GTA fans had wanted to play for such a long time: a dynamic open-world MMO where everything goes.

Over the years, it has become Rockstar’s biggest success, as it continues to make more and more money by way of microtransactions and shark cards. Hence, it only makes sense for Rockstar to continue supporting online even after the announcement of the much-awaited GTA 6. For one, GTA 6 is only announced as of yet; this game would take at least a year to come. Does this mean Rockstar should cease everything now? Nope, GTA Online is a cash cow, and there’s no way they would stop milking it.

It also does not mean that many GTA Online fans would stop playing the game for an announcement. While they await the next installment, they would need a game to pass their time with something, and there’s no better pastime than online.

It could even start a transition phase

Who knows, maybe starting with this update, Rockstar Games is starting a transition phase for GTA Online to 6? The game would have an online mode too, and it would feature a bunch of new stuff, including better visuals. A smooth transition to it would only increase the time everyone spent in GTA Online.

Being associated with movies has given me a very different perspective on gaming. Writing about video games has been on my mind for years and being an eSports writer at EssentiallySports gave me that chance.
