I spent 6 months saving for up for a banged-up truck in GTA RP and now I know exactly what I want from GTA 6’s multiplayer

Rockstar is expected to continue supporting GTA Online alongside the new multiplayer features of GTA 6. The team behind FiveM, Cfx.re, suggests that GTA 6 will incorporate deeper roleplaying elements. GTA Online has received over a decade of updates, enhancing gameplay with customizable weapons and vehicles. The roleplaying scene offers a more nuanced experience, emphasizing creativity and storytelling. The economy in GTA Online thrives on excess, while roleplay servers reflect a grounded reality where earning in-game currency takes time and effort. The anticipated GTA Online 2.0 may feature two distinct experiences: one of abundance and one aligned with the roleplaying ethos. The acquisition of Cfx.re hints at a potential integration of more roleplaying elements in GTA 6, which could differentiate the PC version from previous installments.

Promising Bully mod, which mirrored GTA Online multiplayer, gets axed just one month after launching

Bully, a cult classic from Rockstar Games, remains popular two decades after its release. A group of modders, led by YouTuber Swegta, attempted to create a multiplayer version called Bully Online, featuring various minigames. However, the project was shut down, with an announcement stating that the Bully Online project is shutting down forever, leading to the closure of its server and removal of all associated data. The reasons for the shutdown are unclear, but monetization efforts may have raised legal concerns. Despite this, Bully's legacy endures, and there is hope for a sequel, Bully 2, in the future.

GTA 6’s ten-year development cycle would be a “very bad bet” for anyone but Rockstar, says former Bethesda dev

Concerns are rising about the release of GTA 6, with speculation that it may not launch until 2027 due to delays, ongoing leaks, and legal challenges faced by Rockstar. Former Bethesda lead artist Nate Purkeypile warns that the project's scale could be risky for any studio other than Rockstar, which has a track record of successfully managing large-scale games. The anticipated budget for GTA 6 is rumored to be around a billion dollars, with a development cycle exceeding a decade. Purkeypile emphasizes the importance of experience in handling ambitious projects, citing the troubled launch of Cyberpunk 2077 as a cautionary example. He suggests that Rockstar's experience allows them to take their time, but warns that many studios fail when attempting similar large projects without the necessary background. Purkeypile also expressed a desire for a potential GTA 7 set in Texas, incorporating immersive sim elements, but noted that the current development pace might delay its arrival until the 2040s.

Hear me out: GTA Online has always worked best as a singleplayer game, and whatever shape GTA 6’s multiplayer off-shoot takes needs to follow suit

Players of GTA Online express frustrations with hackers and hoverbikes, particularly the Pegassi Oppressor Mk II, which disrupts gameplay. Many seek quieter servers or solo play to avoid these issues. In 2020, Rockstar introduced the Cayo Perico heist, allowing players to undertake missions solo for the first time since the game's launch. The game has evolved with complex business ventures and collaborations, but public servers often lead to frustrating experiences due to rogue players. Anticipation for GTA 6 includes expectations for chaotic gameplay and potential 64-player servers, but players desire the freedom to explore without disruptions. Rockstar has not released standalone single-player DLC, and early sales projections for GTA 6 suggest £7.5 billion in revenue within the first two months. The future of single-player story DLC remains uncertain, but many players hope for the option to play online solo.

Debate: Which Grand Theft Auto radio station has the best tunes?

Licensed music in video games, especially in sports simulations and open-world adventures, significantly influences players' musical tastes.

Well, PC gamers, time to make peace with the fact that we probably won’t be playing GTA 6 until, like, 2028 unless we cave in and buy the console version

The company did not provide a release date for the PC version of the game, which has been in development since 2022.
