All the hype and excitement around GTA VI is at a bit of a crescendo right now, with good reason, as release date for the game draws closer than it has ever been before. The earnings call for Take-Two Interactive is the next big obstacle in our way, and if we make it through that without another delay, then we should have a clear path to the big day for the first time.
That said, we still need something to do in the meantime, and the best place to get that specific GTA fix for the time being is with the last game. While you’ve likely explored every tiny thing the single-player has to offer at this point, the multiplayer continues apace, with new updates and plenty of events to keep things interesting.
Now, the developer has added a bunch of new missions to the game for players to work through, and the community is at the heart of the whole thing.
GTA Online really still does offer a lot of fun, and over on the official Rockstar website, the developer has confirmed that new online experiences are being added to the game, all of which have been built by the community using the Rockstar Mission Creator.
The Rockstar Mission Creator is a new tool that allows players to do as the title says, and to celebrate its potential, Rockstar shared the following statement about what they’ve got planned:
“This week, we’ve teamed up with talented and long-time Rockstar Games supporters GTA Series Videos to feature Old School Hits — inspired by the original Grand Theft Auto trilogy — as the first creation in our Community Mission Series on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Enhanced) built using the Rockstar Mission Creator.”
“We’re excited to see how everyone utilizes these tools and encourage you to check out Old School Hits beginning on Thursday, April 30 — paying out 4X GTA$ and RP for a limited time.”
It’s a genuinely exciting next step and one that perhaps gives us a window into exactly how the developer will try to ensure the longevity of GTA VI’s online element when it launches.
We don’t really know how GTA Online is going to work once everyone makes the transfer across to GTA VI, but it’s a safe bet that you’ll be starting again in terms of cosmetics, cars and the like. That said, we can worry about that when we’ve had a chance to see what Rockstar have been cooking up with the single-player, which looks very exciting given the limited window we have had.
