GTA Online Will Remain Receiving Support After 'GTA 6' Launch

In a conversation with IGN after revealing the financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2027, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick commented that Rockstar Games should continue supporting GTA Online, even with the arrival of Grand Theft Auto VI.

"We intend to continue supporting GTA Online, and it has been a success. It's very resilient. It has continued to grow over the years, so we feel good about that," the executive explained.

It's worth noting that Zelnick doesn't comment on whether the service will migrate to GTA VI, or if it will remain in Los Santos and on the GTA V map. It's very likely that the online mode will undergo a major update and migrate to the Vice City map. However, this is expected to take some time.

Forbes recently revealed that Rockstar Games is prioritizing the release of the new title in the franchise instead of focusing on creating the new version of the online mode, which makes sense, given that the game has suffered numerous delays.
