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.

I think that PC needs to get it tbh, I mean it'll already be there on console plus the PC community is a lot bigger, don't say I'm a PC fanboy because I love PC, Xbox and PS.

GTA Online is totally free. It's just a seperate Name because Rockstar said they wanted it to grow into something bigger than just the Multiplayer. I guess we will only know what that something is, when the times comes.

In an interview they said you get GTA Online for free with every Retail copy of the game. I guess that mean piraters will have a hard chance getting into multiplayer then :)

Halo4 Wait a sec -- GTA Online is just like their Multiplayer Mode, right? It's not some Add-on you have to buy or anything like that, correct?


from what i gather its just there multilayer mode


wonder why cant they just release it with the actual game though.. oh well


Thats because it has its own "Online Storymode" :P and they will add new content every now and again

They will probably bring GTA 5 to the next gens. Of course they will not announce anythings and that's to keep players on the current gens happy for a while. So it wouldn't suprize me if they announce GTA 5 for next gen consoles within a few months.

Kinda to be expected.

It most likely will, as it will probably generate more revenue for the company down the long run, if its on next gen.
