Take-Two Boss Says It's 'Shown a Willingness to Support Legacy Titles' Amid Questions About the Future of GTA Online Post-GTA 6

Author : Eleanor Update:Mar 16,2025

The impending release of Grand Theft Auto 6 has left many GTA Online players wondering about the future of their beloved live service. With GTA 6's fall 2025 release date approaching, concerns are mounting about the fate of their investments—time, effort, and money—in the current GTA Online. Will a new GTA Online (perhaps GTA Online 2) render the original obsolete?

GTA Online's enduring popularity and profitability have arguably influenced Rockstar's decision to prioritize it over story DLC for Grand Theft Auto 5. However, this success now presents a significant question: should players continue investing in the current GTA Online knowing a potential successor may launch within months?

This question was posed to Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick. While he avoided specifics about any new GTA Online due to unannounced projects, his comments regarding NBA 2K Online offer insightful parallels. NBA 2K Online, launched in 2012, and its sequel in 2017, both coexisted successfully. This suggests a potential model for GTA Online.

Zelnick stated, “Generally speaking, we support our properties when the consumers are involved with those titles… We did not sunset Online 1. They both are still in the market and they serve consumers and they're alive and we have this massive audience. So we've shown a willingness to support legacy titles when a community wants to be engaged with them.”

This indicates that a potential GTA Online 2 might not necessarily replace the original. Continued player engagement in the current GTA Online could lead to its continued support alongside any new iteration.

While much remains unknown about GTA 6, with only a trailer and release window currently available, Rockstar will likely need to provide further clarification soon, especially given Borderlands 4's September release. Until then, the future of GTA Online remains a question mark, but Zelnick's comments offer a glimmer of hope for those invested in the current game.
