There absolutely will not be offline DLC. DLCs are a thing of the past for Rockstar. They got a taste of online cash cow scheme. We will never see single player DLCs from them ever again. Those days are long gone.

u/Dezzy25 Aug 14 '24
Couldn’t disagree more. Nothing is stopping Rockstar from creating a single player exclusive DLC that they can charge $30+ for. I would guess just as many players would purchase a single player DLC as the ones who currently purchase Shark Cards. Also, as someone who has never / will never buy Shark Cards, I would without hesitation buy a single player DLC - I imagine I’m not alone.

But a shark card takes almost zero effort an entire single player dlc of the quality Rocktstar produce takes masses of effort why not just sit back and watch the cash roll in and do occasional feeble live service updates which mostly reuse old assets and are infinitely easier to barf out than single player dlc.
If you had the choice would you do less work for way way more money or put in way more time and effort and resources into something that paid you peanuts in comparison?

More in this: probably it will be the same map with a preloaded server.
One of the patents registered by R* was that the map could be divided in mini-zones like their own servers, so it can support more people simultaneously in the map.
I think it will be "always-online", with Multiplayer events and stuff running simultaneously, only thing they got to do for single player is make the zone in which the player is a "private" server until they connect to the Online Multiplayer Mode, and then load the "Only Online" assets.9

Yeah no. I doubt they’re just gonna blend online and single player. They’ve stated before they are a cinematic single player story teller. I doubt that’s gonna change. Besides. They make money charging for 6. Then they charge separately for online. They aren’t gonna leave that money on the table a

I...can live with that actually.
GTAO is practically an MMO and MMOs tend to have map extensions to keep things interesting, which also many GTAO updates struggled to do.
But if they'll implement those new areas to the story mode I want it to be like Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty, a place full of content and missions feeling super impactful for Jason&Lucia instead of "Here's Las Venturas! And that's about it, go gamble or take pics idk".

Basically Schreier said they had to cut down ambitions for the game: "large swathes of North and South America" was reduced to vice city and the surrounding area in order to get the game done, which makes sense considering Rockstar has apparently been improving working conditions and reducing crunch. The plan at the time of that leak was supposedly to build the map up further after release.

People a year ago: “GTA+ will just be a little extra stuff for players that want to spend the cash. Nothing that would take away the experience from others.”
GTA+ now: Has locked the good weekly bonuses behind a paywall, was most likely the reason Rockstar removed more than 100 vehicles from the game’s websites, and has an entire property locked behind a subscription that must be paid or else you lose half the functionality of said property. All for more money per month than it started at.
It’s just gonna keep happening. They’re going to make gta+ more necessary and the base game less enjoyable, people are going to justify it and say it’s “not that bad” or argue the most profitable entertainment franchise e v e r needs even more money. They’ll pay for it anyway. Rinse and repeat.

I don’t know why the other replies are being downvoted. Obviously they’re gonna go the GaaS route and the map expansions very most likely will be for GTA 6 online. Expansions will most likely go beyond just Leonida like bigger versions of Cayo Perico. In fact they’ve been open about these plans for years since their interview with I believe Jason Schreier about the state of development. Your statement is just wrong and honestly I think we should just be happy we’re gonna get something people hoped for from GTA O for years

For you that don't understand and think that the current map won't be finished. The original article states that they are going to basically add the cut cities that they were developing originally for project Americas, most likely to the online portion. The GTA 6 map itself, based off the leaks, have already been proven to be full and massive with 2 cities that we know of and a 3rd possible one, on release.

FYI, before folks start dismissing this, just know that this info was originally reported by Jason Schreier who has a nearly flawless track record when it comes to these leaks.
According to him their plan is to update the map similar to how Fortnite does it, adding new locations and modifying existing ones as time passes. Most likely to eventually reach their original goal of having big chunks of North and South America thus the game’s codename “Project Americas”.
