While Rockstar would probably like people to start over with a new Online version when GTA 6 comes out, GTA Online becoming standalone suggests it’s being decoupled from GTA V to continue as a separate entity in the future. So would this mean that GTA 6 will be exclusively a single-player game? With GTA Online now becoming a Standalone game, we have to wonder - what does this mean for when GTA 6 inevitably comes around? Will a new, separate version of GTA 6 Online be released? Or will GTA Online continue as it is on its own? We can expect a similar nuke from Rockstar any time and that is just the reality of the situation. With GTA 5, they dropped the bombshell of a videogame that shook the whole industry and is still considered the best game ever made. While companies like Ubisoft and EA Games release titles from their many franchises, either as a sequel or remaster, Rockstar Games have been releasing patches and free DLCs for their flagship series for over 5 years. The Future of GTA Online Standalone & GTA 6Ī popular question we had in mind for the latter half of a decade, what about GTA 6? Rockstar Games have not been following a business strategy similar to their mainstream competition. Things being as is, there are two probable directions Rockstar can go with this: the online version of the game will carry a low price-tag, or can remain entirely free post the 3 month trial period. It is likely that GTA Online Standalone will remain as a paid game, going with what we have seen from the likes of the Standalone edition of Red Dead Online.

The problem lies in the fact that these booster packs are outdated and give poor value: Shark Cards definitely need an update to be of better value. A striking difference between the free-to-play online games of today and GTA Online is a limitation on the in-game items that can be purchased for the latter. As of now, the only in-game item that could be purchased are Shark Cards, which translates to in-game money. This is 2021, there are numerous free-to-play games like Call of Duty Warzone, Fortnite, Destiny 2 among many others. We know that the GTA Online Standalone edition is planned to be released, at least on PlayStation 5, as a free title for the first 3 months. GTA Online Standalone: Will it be Free-to-Play? We’ve had this online game for a little over 7 years now, while new players are joining the mayhem even today. We’ve had GTA Online since within 14 days post the initial release of GTA V on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. With the GTA Online Standalone and Enhanced version coming soon for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, let's explore what this means for the future of the game and for GTA 6.
