Although Grand Theft Auto 6 is on the horizon, Rockstar Games recently released Grand Theft Auto Online for PS5 and Xbox Series X, indicating that the company still has big plans for the future. Part of the reason Rockstar has been able to keep so many people playing Grand Theft Auto Online over the years is thanks to regular content updates, and according to a new rumor, one of their biggest could be around the corner.
Leaker Matheusvictorbr- hinted on Twitter that Rockstar Games is planning a big update for Grand Theft Auto Online this summer. No details have been revealed about what exactly this update will entail, other than that it will include a map expansion. They included an image of the Statue of Liberty in the tweet, suggesting that this supposed Grand Theft Auto Online map expansion would take place in Liberty Citythe New York version of the GTA universe.
Matheusvictorbr- has accurately leaked some Grand Theft Auto news in the past, so while he’s a bit more reliable than other leakers, fans should take this information with a huge grain of salt. It is always possible that the information will be inaccurate or that the plans will change between now and the release date of the expansion. In addition, it is not the first time that an expansion of Liberty City for Grand Theft Auto Online.
In fact, rumors of an expansion of Liberty City for Grand Theft Auto Online they have persisted for years, but have never come to fruition. Every time it’s been rumored that Rockstar was going to add Liberty City to GTA Online, it’s turned out to be inaccurate, so who’s to say this time around will be any different.
On the other hand, a major map expansion would be the kind of thing that would not only keep people playing Grand Theft Auto Online regularly, but it could also bring back players who no longer play. And with Rockstar Games launching a Grand Theft Auto Online subscription service, it has an even greater interest in bringing as many people as possible to Grand Theft Auto Online. Fans shouldn’t hold their breath, but it’s easy to see how a substantial map expansion like this would make a lot of business sense.
At this time it is not clear if the rumored expansion of Liberty City for Grand Theft Auto Online will come to fruition, but fans can still count on new content coming to the game in some way while they wait for information on Grand Theft Auto 6 in development.
