Take-Two boss says this shows the willingness to support Legacy Jitle in doubt about the future of GTA Online GTA Post GTA 6

What happens when GTA is online Big Theft Automatic 6 Out? This is a question many GTA online players have been asking since the announcement of GTA 6. Now, GTA 6's Fall 2025 Release Date Close, they are not very close to the answer.

Online GTA It is Rockstar’s huge profitable live service, and it will continue to attract players even more than a decade since its launch. Its enduring appeal and ability to print money influenced Rockstar's decision to prioritize on-site services over Story DLCs from Grand Theft Auto 5's Story DLCs, which has annoyed some fans. But, it's imminent on the horizon.

When GTA 6 finally appears, it is expected to bring new and improved GTA online. Maybe this will be online GTA 2. Maybe it will be called GTA Online as before. Either way, existing GTA Online participants expressed concern that all the time, energy and money they spend on their current GTA online will be left for potential cleaning breaks later this year.

So why now in early 2025, in about eight months, investing time and money in new GTA online? This is a question IGN asked Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick in a recent interview before the company's third-quarter financial report, whose answers made the reading interesting.

While Zenick won't draw exclusively on any new GTA online, as it's not announced yet, he does usually talk about Take-Two's form, the NBA 2K Online, a free online basketball franchise focused on the 2K version of Sports's basketball franchise Very successful in operation, targeting the Asian market.

NBA 2K Online was launched all the time in 2012, and then 2K Sports released NBA 2K Online 2 in 2017. Both games are kept at the same time, so fans of the first edition can continue to play and continue to play and invest their time and money in their knowledge and safety will not be left behind.

“In theory, all I'm going to say is because I won't talk about a specific project without an announcement,” Zelnick began. “But overall, we support our Property. For example, we launched NBA 2K Online in China, and I think it was originally in 2012 if I remember correctly. Then, we launched NBA 2K Online in China in 2017. If I remember correctly. We don't have Sunset Online 1. They're both still in the market, they serve consumers, they're still alive, and we have a large audience.

“So, when the community wants to interact with them, we show a willingness to support the legacy champion.”

The last line is particularly important. It shows – but not confirmed at this stage – if there is GTA Online 2, it won't come at the cost of gta Online Drop. If people continue to play GTA online, Zelnick suggests here, then Rockstar will continue to support it.

It is worth noting that given that everything we have so far is trailer 1 and a release window, we still know the GTA 6 now. But if GTA 6 is sure to expire in fall 2025 After the September release date just announced by Borderlands 4Rockstar will have to reveal earlier than late. Also, check Zelnick about whether Skip PC for GTA 6 release is a bug.
