Grand Theft Auto V has continued to bring in players regularly, allowing the game to live on for a long time. That might have played a big role in why it took so long before the staff started getting ready for its successor installment’s launch. But while the dough kept coming in for the online component of Grand Theft Auto V, it presented the idea of rolling out a subscription service with GTA+.
This subscription service came out in 2022, and it was a means to provide further content for players enjoying Grand Theft Auto Online. The service would give you additional benefits for the online game, whether that was new vehicles, clothing, or in-game cash. While the service continues to add new content into the mix, some additional video games would be presented to the player outside of Grand Theft Auto Online.
Unfortunately, the addition of new games might be the reason we are seeing a small price jump in the game. The new monthly subscription will cost you $7.99, whereas previously, it was only $5.99. So, while it’s not a major jump in price, you will be paying more monthly, which we’re finding out through a report from VGC.
With that said, there is access right now for Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, along with Red Dead Redemption. Meanwhile, we recently posted on how the service would soon see the inclusion of Bully and LA Noire into the mix. Hopefully, that would be worth the small price jump for the service.
Of course, more players are focusing on the upcoming Grand Theft Auto VI. Unfortunately, we’re still waiting for more marketing materials to come out for this game. Right now, the game only has one trailer, and I’m sure you’re well familiar with this footage. However, if you somehow missed this footage then you can view the trailer below. We certainly have our fingers crossed that Rockstar Games won’t be holding out much longer before they finally unveil the next trailer. Perhaps we’ll even receive some gameplay footage to showcase just how the game will play when it finally sees its release into the marketplace.
In its most recent quarterly report, Remedy Entertainment has provided updates on which stage of production each of its many current projects is at.
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.
Atari has revived the Infogrames brand, and will use it for a new publishing label.
Modders have managed to get Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 5 running on the Nintendo Switch. Ever since its initial release in 2013, Grand Theft Auto 5 has been a massive success. Not only does GTA 5 continue to receive new content for its online component, the game has also been re-released on several different platforms across three console generations. One platform that the game was never ported to since its initial release, however, is the Nintendo Switch.
GTA 6 publishers Take-Two Interactive have announced that they're "rationalizing" their "pipeline" and positioning/restructuring/streamlining for growth by, you guessed it, laying off a load of people and cancelling a bunch of games. As detailed in a Security Exchange Commission filing, Take-Two are doing away with five per cent of the approximately 11,000 people who work for them, and have cancelled several in-development projects worth tens of millions of dollars.
A new interview with a former Rockstar employee sheds some new light on how the company’s workplace environment had grown toxic around the time they released Grand Theft Auto V.
According to new information from Grand Theft Auto 5 actors Steven Ogg and Ned Luke, GTA 5 was going to have a behind-the-scenes documentary, but it was ultimately scrapped by Rockstar Games. The actors behind Trevor and Michael, respectively, lamented that footage was filmed during the process of building GTA 5, but nothing was ever done with it.
With GTA 6 now on the horizon, Grand Theft Auto Online players are sharing what they want to see from the game in a final update. 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.

We have a strange story today about the longest running, and most successful, Grand Theft Auto game of all time.
Rockstar Games' flagship GTA Online-focused subscription service, GTA+, is receiving a price hike with no formal announcement. This news is likely to make fans of Grand Theft Auto Online who were already critical of the service even less pleased with it.
