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 don't think that they would release GTA online on the next generation consoles without releasing GTA: V for the next generation consoles. It would be great to see GTA on the next generation consoles thought with the increased processing power.

This would be great as it means players can take the online fun to the next-gen instead of being stuck to the current-gen consoles.

I'm glad they're keeping it only for the 360 and PS3 for awhile that way I can still talk to some of my friends!

-Mark I really hope it does go to next generation consoles. It would be a huge disappointment if it didn't.


I'm confined that they will bring it over some time in the foreseeable future, I'm sure more people than just you will be disappointed if this isn't the case


They will forsure bring it out in the future just like they did With San Andreas!

_Bale Not really any point getting a next gen console when it comes out If they wont have all of these new decent games..


Next generation consoles still have pretty solid launch titles, i could see even better games coming out in the future. I will defiantly be getting one of them for this reason


They have too, if not it would affect sales.
