Take-Two has confirmed that GTA Online will keep getting content and events after GTA 6 arrives. According to RockstarINTEL, the company made the point during its earnings presentation on Monday, and the investor documents go beyond simply keeping servers online.
What Take-Two announced
Take-Two's CEO Strauss Zelnick spoke about the game's future in an interview with IGN. In his words: "We intend to keep supporting GTA Online [for GTA V] and it has been very successful. It's been very resilient. It has continued to grow over the years, so we feel very good about it."
RockstarINTEL reports that Take-Two's documents list more content and events as ongoing support, which is a clearer signal than a server-only commitment.
The numbers behind the decision
The earnings data shows how strong GTA V and GTA Online still are:
- Grand Theft Auto V has now surpassed 235 million copies sold. It hit 230 million in May.
- The game has routinely sold around 5 million copies every quarter, aside from this quarter and one quarter last year.
- GTA V is one of the most downloaded PS5 games every month.
- The total Grand Theft Auto series has reached 480 million copies worldwide, up from 470 million in August and May.
What it means for players
GTA VI is not launching with a new GTA Online or any multiplayer, according to RockstarINTEL. That means GTA Online stays on GTA V for the foreseeable future, and Rockstar's plans for it are still developing. The details of which specific content and events are planned have not been shared in the material available, so expect more information from Rockstar as GTA 6 gets closer.
For now, if you play GTA Online, the message is simple: Take-Two plans to keep the game going, and it is not winding down when GTA 6 arrives.
