The success story of GTA Online is one the gaming industry will remember forever. The game broke sales and fandom records, something the game's design director admitted in a new interview, describing it as a success the team couldn't even dream of.
He said Scott BouchardRockstar North Design Director for GamesRadar. When they started working on GTA Online,They thought it would last 10 years. He confirmed once again that the game was just a multiplayer mode for them before becoming a standalone game. What made it so is that it was handled on that basis by them and the players.
GTA Online's success has exceeded all expectations
GTA Online was a completely new experience for Rockstar Games, which had a history of producing single-player police games. Bouchard says that when the team began work on the online game, which originally came with GTA V, the developers were still "on their feet."
In fact, it was the additions to Heist that truly helped the aforementioned online mode gain fame and reach the top. Ten years later, its community is stronger than ever. Bouchard added that Rockstar's goal is to continue releasing free updates for players, making the game more accessible to everyone, whether playing solo or with a group. He added:
"It's very important to us that players find new ways to connect with each other. Whether it's through the events we create or by providing them with the tools to create their own moments."
Staying within the context of the series, the famous singer 50 Cent began hinting at his presence in the game GTA 6. The singer began making posts hinting at this and then deleting them, which could indicate his work on the game's music or we could actually see him as a character in it. More details here.
We don't know how Rockstar will perceive the online phase that will be launched with its next game in the series, and whether it will be an extension of the same current game with more expanded content, or it will be a completely separate game and a new experience, and that's what we hope.
We're still waiting a long time for answers, but all Rockstar gives us now is waiting and patience, nothing more.
