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.

_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

Does this mean that maybe we will see GTA V on the next gens also? Because that would be awesome. The things we have learned about GTA online seems quite vague, so I can't wait to see more about it and maybe some footage on it.

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


It most likely will, but in 2014 :(

How will it work if it transfers to xbox one? will it be a free download since you own it on 360 or would you need to pay msp?
