In a recent court case, Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive had to disclose some details regarding GTA 5 Online – and they are significant.
In the case between former Rockstar Games president Leslie Benzies and Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive, there are now initial insights into the revenues from GTA V online, which had not been publicly available before. Since the launch, the online mode of Grand Theft Auto 5 has generated at least $500,000,000 in revenue – mostly through the sale of in-game currency.
Therefore, no focus on a single-player DLC for GTA V?
The author of the US site Gamepur speculates: Given the success of GTA 5’s multiplayer mode, it is hardly surprising that Rockstar Games is not placing a special focus on the development of a single-player story DLC.
Of course, this is not good news for players who greatly enjoy the story mode. But viewed from another angle, there is a lot of money that could potentially be invested in the development of a new Grand Theft Auto 6…
Even though this is still a distant prospect, it holds true that the multiplayer mode of GTA is quite entertaining, unless hackers are stealing your hard-earned money.
