While Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) is one of the most anticipated games of all time, fans are growing increasingly concerned about its online counterpart, GTA Online 2. Many worry that the new online mode will simply be a rehash of GTA V Online, offering little innovation or improvement. Here’s what’s got the community on edge.
What’s the Concern?
Fans are worried that GTA Online 2 will follow the same path as its predecessor, prioritizing monetization over meaningful content. Reddit user Master100017 summed up the sentiment:
- “While Rockstar Games will likely introduce awesome new features, GTA VI Online will pretty much be the same as GTA V Online.”
This has left many feeling underwhelmed, especially given Rockstar’s history with Red Dead Online, which was criticized for its lack of support and reliance on premium currency.
Fan Reactions
The community’s concerns are evident in online discussions:
- Riley__64: “We just have to hope that this time they don’t decide to ignore story mode in favor of online like they did with GTA V.”
- dantheman23312: “Guarantee it’ll be half-baked like GTA V Online was when it came out.”
- Shadowking02__: “I just hope there won’t be a premium currency and season pass like Red Dead Online.”
Why the Anxiety?
The lack of information from Rockstar Games has only fueled these concerns. With no second trailer or detailed updates, fans are left to speculate about what GTA Online 2 will offer. Many fear it will prioritize microtransactions and repetitive content over fresh, engaging gameplay.
