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.

GTA is going to become the new COD. Except it's going to be an actual good game...

Gossip I thought this would happen.


The fact you thought they'd only release GTA: Online in the start for the Next-Gen consoles makes me think you're full of it. No one, not even Rockstar knew what they were doing. It's like he said, their playing it by ear. This is just a test run, to see how it goes.

So, know..You didn't think this would happen. Who even thinks that? "Oh yeah, I think they'll only release the multiplayer version of

OP: I think that's stupid, only releasing multiplayer in the start for next-gen consoles. They should release the full package, all at once, if they plan on doing a next-gen release this early for the game!
