Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto 6 is shaping up to be a massive game, but fans are already worried about one thing: Will it get proper single-player DLC, or will Rockstar focus only on online updates again?
The Ghost of GTA 5’s Missed Potential
When GTA 5 launched in 2013, fans expected story expansions like The Ballad of Gay Tony from GTA 4. Instead, Rockstar shifted entirely to GTA Online, leaving single-player mode untouched for years.
Now, with GTA 6 likely being the only major entry for another decade, players are begging for offline DLC—but history suggests they won’t get it.
Why Fans Are Skeptical
On Reddit, discussions reveal deep frustration:
“Online is where they make money. Single-player DLC is dead.”
*”They didn’t do it for *RDR2*—why would *GTA 6* be different?”*
Past examples don’t inspire confidence:
- Red Dead Redemption 2’s Undead Nightmare 2 never happened.
- GTA Online’s success made solo expansions seem unprofitable.
What Players Want Instead
Fans aren’t against online updates—they just want balance. A mix of:
- Story expansions (like GTA 4’s Lost and Damned)
- New offline activities (heists, side missions, map expansions)
- Online content that doesn’t replace single-player support
But with GTA Online still printing money, hopes are low.

The Bottom Line
Until Rockstar proves otherwise, fans expect GTA 6 to follow the same path—great base game, abandoned story mode, endless online grind. And after GTA 5 and RDR2, can you blame them?
