GTA Online could head to next-gen after PS3 & Xbox 360 launch

4.8
GTA Online was revealed today, just in case you haven’t noticed yet, It’s coming to PS3 and Xbox 360 on October 1, but Rockstar North president Leslie Benzies has suggested it may come to next-gen formats down the line.


It’s a case of ‘one thing at a time really’, as Benzies told CVG, “There’s very few games like GTA Online – so we’ll play it by ear and see what the consumers want. We’ll get the current gen version out first and see what happens in the future.”

GTA Online lets players create races and deathmatches, then upload them to the cloud for all to share. it’s an increasingly popular feature in next-gen especially, to which Benzies added, “Everything’s going to the Cloud, isn’t it? It’s the future, and the boxes become less relevant. It’s more about the content. It’s more about the data than the hardware. And, yeah, whether you’re on your iPad, your iPhone, your Android or your console, to me it doesn’t matter what it is. It’s a game.”

GTA 5 is out September 17 on PS3 and Xbox 360, while GTA Online launches October 1.

MoDOT screw the crap next gen hope it dont come out for it.


The be honest with $500 for a console you can buy a PC.


Yeah but then no GTA5


True, but you also get upgrade-able hardware.


I always thought that games were made on pc, and then ported over to consoles

ChadMc So, are they just not going to have a multiplayer when game first comes out or?


Not for a little while.
Game launches September 17th and GTA Online is launching October 1st.

I assume this is so they can work on servers, maybe focus on single player for a few weeks and have all of that patched and ready to go.
