Story details for 's canceled story DLC have emerged, and it sounds like it would have leaned into the espionage genre with perhaps the last character anyone would have expected: Trevor. It has long been known that single-player story DLC for the game was in the works, much like 's and, and 's before it, but with the monumental success of, which launched a month after and made over $500 million in microtransactions alone by 2016, and development of the massively detailed, Rockstar's priorities changed, resulting in the DLC's cancelation.
As part of a stream on Michael De Santa actor Ned Luke's YouTube, Steven Ogg, who portrayed Trevor Philips revealed the plans for an DLC, which would have seen Trevor working undercover with the FIB, and it sounds like a ridiculously fun storyline for the character that would have taken inspiration from as part of its grand finale, seeing Trevor venture into space.

These included, which saw the return of one of 's protagonists, Franklin, as he set up a “” catering to the Vinewood elite and worked with Dr Dre, and, which saw Michael's former therapist, Dr. Friedlander return as a drug lord, regardless of the choices players made regarding his fate in. Content from the canceled story DLC was also adapted for some of ’s heists: Doomsday and Diamond Casino. The Doomsday heist in particular borrowed elements from, as confirmed by a script highlighting the AI neural network Clifford as a featured character.
While there's no denying that was incredibly successful, it is still a far cry from the single-player story content many players were hoping for, in which they could play as 's trio of protagonists again and see the next chapter of their stories unfold. It's a shame Rockstar opted to cancel the three planned DLCs, as while they likely would have been deemed non-canon like 's, they still sounded like extremely enjoyable storylines with their genre twists offering an experience different from that of the base game.
