Rockstar has assured players of the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Grand Theft Auto V that they won't be ditched in favour of supporting owners of the recently released Xbox One and PS4 editions of the game.

In an online Q&A, a Rockstar spokesperson was asked: "Now that you have GTA V out for next gen consoles, are you going to forget about the rest of us?"

They responded: "[We'll] certainly not [forget past-gen] as players on PS3 and Xbox 360 can look forward to online heists and other updates that are in the works coming soon.

"We are incredibly thankful to our original generation of GTA V and GTA Online players on those systems and wish to continue providing content to them for as long as we can.

"Of course, at some point in the future, there may be a point where we reach the limits for the previous generation of consoles as there may be some updates that are only technically possible on the new hardware. But we do hope to continue delivering as many updates as we can for all four consoles for as long as possible."

Rockstar also said it will offer GTA Online players "a small Christmas gift" as a token of goodwill following the delayed release of the much anticipated Heist missions DLC, which will now launch in early 2015. Available now, the gift reportedly includes a Santa outfit, pyjamas, anti-tank mines and a homing rocket launcher.
