If you're a fan of the bustling world of *GTA Online*, you might be curious about its future, especially with the looming launch of *GTA 6*. Fear not, as Take-Two Interactive has signaled a promising outlook for the game's longevity. In an insightful interview with IGN on February 14, 2025, Strauss Zelnick, the head of Take-Two, provided some reassuring words without making specific promises about the game.
Take-Two Will Support GTA Online if There's Demand
Zelnick, while avoiding direct comments on *GTA Online*, drew a compelling analogy to illustrate Take-Two's approach to legacy titles. He referenced the case of *NBA 2K Online* in China, where despite the release of a sequel in 2017, the original game from 2012 continued to be supported due to its robust player base. "We support our properties when the consumers are involved with those titles," Zelnick stated, hinting that *GTA Online* might enjoy similar treatment post-*GTA 6* launch, given its enduring popularity and profitability over the past decade.
Rockstar Games May Create a Platform like Roblox and Fortnite for GTA 6
Adding to the excitement, a report from Digiday on February 17, 2025, suggests that Rockstar Games is planning to integrate user-generated content (UGC) into *GTA 6*'s online version. This move would position the game as a competitor to platforms like Roblox and Fortnite, where players can customize and create their own experiences. Rockstar has reportedly been in talks with creators from these platforms, as well as dedicated *GTA* content creators, to bring their talents into the fold. This not only promises a fresh and dynamic online environment but also opens up new revenue streams for Rockstar and Take-Two through virtual item sales and revenue-sharing programs.
Despite being a 14-year-old title, *GTA 5* and its online component continue to thrive, ranking as the third most-watched game on Twitch. The inclusion of modders and content creators in *GTA 6*'s online world is poised to generate significant buzz and further expand the game's reach across various platforms.
