'GTA 6 Online can't be like this': Reddit post sparks fan uproar over Rockstar's DLC updates; thread goes viral
GTA 6, or Grand Theft Auto VI, is the highly anticipated game of the year. And finally, after a year, Rockstar Games has released trailer 2 of the game, which has now become one of the biggest video launches of all time, garnering more than 475 million views in just 24 hours across all platforms.
Amid the wait for the game to release, GTA 6 is set to include a revamped version of GTA: Online, but it seems it didn't sit well with fans.
According to Gaming Bible, Rockstar Games hasn't revealed the details yet, but fans are already speculating about what to expect. A Reddit post shared by user @Sufficient-Trash-807 is captioned the post with a title, "GTA6 online cannot be like this. Things must change, "which has now garnered the massive attention of fans.
Reddit user expresses frustration with GTA Online
The Reddit post talks about GTA Online's recent DLC updates, criticising them as repetitive, low-paying and uninspired.
The player also pointed out that new businesses offer poor returns, like a money laundering operation dropping from $70K to $35K per run, and highlighted how new features, such as car warehouses and locations like Smoke on the Water, provide minimal profit.
Additionally, the mission playouts are seen as underwhelming with small bonuses that barely make a difference.
Fans react to GTA Online's DLC updates
As soon as the post surfaced on the social media platform, fans couldn't stop themselves and discussed the same. One said, "It's literally in-game inflation. When they designed GTAO, it did not have all these mechanics, and they had to increase the value of things to make money less valuable. Hopefully a full reset of the economy will remedy things."
"I'm willing to bet that GTA 6 will have a busted online economy day one. RDR2 had the same problem. They've had their taste of Shark Card money or otherwise, and they won't turn back on it," another added.
While one said, "RDR2 HAD the same problem. It's fixed now; sadly that resulted in people not needing to buy Gold Bars, and thus Rockstar didn't earn any money from RDR2 Online. This is factually the One and Only reason support for RDR2 was discontinued."

GTA 6 available for download on Xbox Store almost a year ahead of its launch date, but with a catch…

This unexpected availability has generated excitement among fans. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In a post shared on the social media platform X (earlier Twitter) by a page named GTA 6 Alerts, some players were able to download the game to their consoles from the Microsoft Store, either via the web or directly through the console's store. However, we at TOi Tech tried looking for it on the web version of the Microsoft Store for Xbox consoles and were unable to find the same. The X post notes that given the download size of only 328.76 MB, combined with the game's distant release date, indicates this is not an early playable version. GTA VI is not yet available for pre-order, which rules out the possibility of an early beta release from Rockstar. The post also noted that attempting to launch the downloaded file displays the game's cover art briefly before closing and returning the user to the Xbox dashboard. The post even includes a short clip of how the downloaded game file reacts when users try to access it. Rockstar may have made GTA 6's Xbox page live weeks after PS5 According to a report by Rockstar Intel, According to a report by Rockstar Intel, GTA 6 maker Rockstar is allowing Xbox Series X|S users to wishlist the game and view its store page. This comes weeks after the PlayStation 5 listing went live shortly after the release of the GTA 6 Trailer 2. While Rockstar's parent company, Take-Two, had promised Xbox wishlisting would arrive 'soon,' it ultimately took around seven weeks to become available. 7 Things You May Have Missed in the GTA 6 Second Trailer Earlier this week, Rockstar Games finally made the GTA 6 Xbox Store page live, accessible via both Xbox consoles and the official website, the report claims. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The listing includes the game's illustrative artwork from the second trailer, several screenshots, both released trailers, and a detailed game description. Xbox is also reportedly allowing users to download this placeholder file; however, pre-orders aren't live yet; the file will auto-update once pre-loading begins.
