RDR2 also had one in 2018, which I think was better than the GTA 5 companion app, as it had an interactive live map of your current player position and surrounding activities (both story mode and online, but it was disabled for online later), useable story/online catalogue and the full strategy guide." What to expect from the GTA 6 companion app? Many assumed the companion app trend was fading with time after Blizzard shut down its WoW app. However, major developers still look interested in the same space. As per Game Rant, one of the recent examples was the Zelda Notes feature that was added to the Nintendo Switch app, mimicking a companion app, after which, now, Rockstar seems to be following the league. Since the release of the first trailer of the game, the companion app highlighted a TikTok-style social media platform that showed off the many bizarreness of Leonida.
