The wait for seems to be an unending one, given that came out eleven years (or two console generations) ago. Still, the wait may finally be over sometime in 2025, when the much-anticipated title is set to release, with Rockstar promising a game bigger than any it has ever done before. Until then, has enjoyed continued updates, keeping players tied over until 2025, yet that too is expected to receive a sequel.
It is expected that will follow its predecessor's formula, using the map of, similar to how uses 's map. Despite its wild and continued popularity, many hope that will improve in its second iteration, especially because of the new features and mechanics of the game that will be its scaffolding. There are many features Rockstar can implement and expand upon, and with its greater experience with online games, perhaps will be even bigger than its predecessor.
Rockstar has promised a map that will dwarf Los Santos in its latest project. Should it keep the level of detail of its predecessor, then Vice City and beyond could be one of gaming's biggest. That would mean there would be plenty of room for even larger servers, provided superior server infrastructure is implemented. Although chaos cannot be avoided, the larger map size would mean that more players could roam around without feeling too cramped.
currently has a server cap of thirty-two, with two of those players acting as spectators. This was even smaller for last-generation consoles (Xbox 360 and PS3), being capped at sixteen. If the jump in console generation is as large a leap as it was previously, perhaps we can expect the server sizes to be roughly doubled again, with providing 60-player lobbies.
There is a mod that increases server capacity beyond thirty-two. It is called FiveM and is often used for roleplay servers, which are known to hold a thousand players at a time.
Despite how popular still remains, crossplay isn't supported. With almost every multiplayer title released now, crossplay is almost expected, especially given how the talk surrounding the console wars has seemed to die down. Since such a large population of gamers are on PCs, it makes sense to integrate this with Xbox and Playstation players to get the most out of online functionality.
Should crossplay come to through its successor (and it really should), implementing it should be easier than when originally came out. Still, many modern games struggle with crossplay, with notable titles like yet to include it. Those that have done so have not always found success, with notably struggling with crossplay despite being a title made by a PlayStation studio.
Until relatively recently, very few major story characters have made their way into the online side of the game.

Grand Theft Auto Online players with a GTA+ subscription will soon be able to play Rockstar's 1940s detective action-adventure title LA Noire. Along with access to LA Noire, subscribers will also unlock two classic cars from that game to use in Grand Theft Auto Online.
The revised rules for will begin its release this year, but the staggered schedule will prevent players from judging the edition’s balance until 2025. One D&D, or edition 5.5, is launching in a different order from the original 5e books. The fifth edition was released in August 2014, the in September, and the in December of that year. This year will see the revised and, but the new does not drop until 2025, making it impossible to properly evaluate its game design until the new year.
There isn’t another game series more loaded with pop culture references than Goat Simulator. Pilgor, the crazy, ragdoll-tossed, licking protagonist of the series has been getting up to endlessly stupid hijinks for 10 years, and what started as a daft premise built from a game jam idea has now spawned a decade of insanity, spoofing almost every major video game along the way such as Skyrim, Dead Island and even P.T.
Samsung did not follow a consistent launch schedule for its previous-generation Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra and Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, so it was uncertain when the company would unveil the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra. Now, the latest rumor claims that the Korean giant is facing development problems with its top-end slate, but there is a surprise for all those waiting for the Galaxy S25 series next year. The premium tablet is said to launch alongside Samsung’s premier smartphone lineup in early 2025.
TikTok creators can’t seem to escape a maelstrom of policy and security concerns lately. On Wednesday, President Joe Biden signed a $95 billion national security package into law. Nestled inside it was the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, which gives TikTok parent company ByteDance 270 days to sell the platform or cease operations in the United States. Policymakers maintain that the bill is not a “ban,” but a way to get the China-based ByteDance to divest from TikTok. The battle over TikTok could play out in the courts for far longer than the roughly nine-month window before the deadline, but the uncertain future of the app has kicked up a fervor among its many creators, who depend on it for community, connection, and their livelihoods.
As a somewhat deflating example of the money-churning might of GTA Online becoming the sole focus of Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto 5 efforts over the last decade, the actor who played Trevor in the ridiculously well-selling crime epic has teased some details of planned story DLC that would have turned the controversial protagonist into a James Bond-style spy. The pack supposedly got as far as shooting with the actors, only to end up cancelled and folded into a GTA Online heist.
Grand Theft Auto 5 has received multiple updates over the years, adding new content, missions, heists and more to GTA Online, but the game has never received a story expansion since its initial release in 2013. Past reports have mentioned scrapped plans for story DLCs for the game, and more recently leaked database file from GTA 5 suggested that developers Rockstar Games cancelled a story mode DLC related to Trevor, one of the game's three main protagonists. Now, the actor who played the eccentric character in GTA 5 has said that he “shot some stuff” for a Trevor DLC that never saw the light of day.
The Entertainment Software Association, the big trade organization for the video game industry in the US, says it's fully opposed to a proposed copyright exemption that would allow gaming scholars to access online libraries of preserved games.

There have been several 2.2 leaks and rumors so far, ahead of the update’s release in early May. The next patch for the turn-based RPG by HoYoverse is expected to continue the main campaign questline set in Penacony, the Planet of Festivities. This will be the third major update in the new destination, introduced earlier this year with the release of Version 2.0. There are a few details that have already been confirmed for Version 2.2, such as the new playable characters, though that pales in comparison to the information provided by leaks in.

While the online component of GTA 5 has given players plenty to do and enjoy over the years, there's still plenty of opportunities to expand GTA Onlinefurther and to resolve some unfinished business.
