A former Rockstar Games developer reveals details about a cancelled story DLC for Grand Theft Auto 5, revealing its intended scope, why it was scrapped, and its eventual impact on GTA Online. He also sheds light on the tight security measures employed at Rockstar Games’ New York City office.
Rockstar Games has announced a major update coming to GTA Online this summer. The update includes a variety of quality-of-life improvements, new content, and additional customization options. Players will be able to set up their own bounty hunting and bail enforcement businesses, assist Vincent with off-the-books missions, and benefit from changes to the Content Creator. Other notable updates include an increased Sell Mission timer, defensive buffs for vehicles, and increased base payouts. GTA+ members on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S will receive the Överflöd Pipistrello (Super) for free upon the update’s launch. While a specific release date is yet to be announced, Rockstar has confirmed the update’s arrival within the upcoming summer months.
Grand Theft Auto 5 has received numerous updates over the years, introducing new content for GTA Online but no story expansions since its 2013 release. Leaked files and comments from the actor who played Trevor suggest a story DLC centered on the character was planned but ultimately canceled. Rockstar Games has previously hinted at story mode DLC but later prioritized GTA Online updates and Red Dead Redemption 2 development.
Grand Theft Auto V voice actor Steven Ogg revealed that developer Rockstar Games initially planned to create a story expansion centered around the character Trevor. However, the expansion was reportedly canceled in favor of GTA Online, which has remained immensely popular since its launch over a decade ago.
