GTA Online going offline for millions of Windows 7 and 8 users next year

Rockstar has announced that support for GTA Online on older PCs will end in January, although that doesn’t have anything to do with GTA 6.

GTA 5 didn’t get to 185 million copies sold by only being popular on one format. In fact, it’s achieved the seemingly impossible by remaining one of the top selling games of its generation… for three generations in a row.

All good things do come to an end though and while there’s still no real hint as to when GTA 6 might be revealed, Rockstar has already stopped support for GTA Online on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. And now they’re planning to do the same for Windows 7 and 8.

Windows 7 was a great OS TBH, up there with XP. 98 was quite decent too.

I skipped 8 and went straight to 10 as soon as it released, I know there's 11 but I haven't tried it, and AFAIK there's another one due as well? So much for 10 being the last OS with frequent updates. I don't get the point in Windows 11 if 12 (or whatever they'll call it) will replace it so soon.

I hated having to leave behind Windows 7. Windows 10 has been decent though. Can't really complain too much. Definitely not a fan of 11. I keep refusing the "free" upgrade Windows keeps trying to shove down my throat lol.

Great news! I'm looking forward to playing GTA Online offline.

A Former Rockstar dev has revealed that they were making a GTA 5 DLC, but it was scrapped since GTA Online was such a "cash cow," though it wasn't a total waste as parts of it made its way to GTA Online.

What a damn shame. Sinfmgle player dlc could've been so dope but nope fk you single player guys.

Perfect reason why I'm against single player games having multiplayer attached. Eat up more resources

Sure the story mode which got a 97 metacritic isn't as bad as people think. Stupid ass article.

GamerRN18d ago (Edited 18d ago )

Who actually thought it was bad? Personally, I think they should have finished the Story DLC to at least gauge sales and if it was worth it vs GTO.

Terry_B19d ago

I think I did not see even one thought out piece by this site named tech4gamers yet. Nope..no approvals for this nonsense from me.

isarai18d ago

Ive never heard anyone really complain about the story mode 🤨

cloganart18d ago (Edited 18d ago )

Just some people who didn't like that the story was split between 3 protagonists and kinda had weird pacing because of it.

Rebel_Scum18d ago

I didnt like how the heists consisted of 3 preparation/fetch quests which were dull as. Also there should’ve been more heists and more assassination missions.

It was pretty good apart from that.

But yeah some folks didnt like the character switch on release.

gold_drake18d ago

ehhh who exactly thinks the story mode is "bad" ?

Dudeson18d ago

The only bad about it is that there isn't any more! Cancelled story dlc to make online stuff... But hopefully gta 6 will be a great adventure again.

GTA 4 had stellar extra content. Kind of annoys me they really only pay mind to online elements with their games anymore. They have the money and manpower to offer both to players.

just_looken19d ago

It still gets me pissed off to see the lost in gta5 because they are just a punching bag that tlad dlc was awesome.

We could have had Trevor be replaced with someone that over time with your help made the lost a huge gang in gta 5. but na we just get Trevor that had 0 character growth and the worst mission's in the game.

Amplitude19d ago

lol we've all known this forever.

just_looken19d ago

yes and no there is more coming out beyond what was reported before

XiNatsuDragnel19d ago

Unfortunate I wish we had the Trevor dlc files to add it in ourselves

Iceball200019d ago

They better not do the same with GTA6

Zeke6819d ago

They will for sure, online prints money for them thanks to the "whales" 😢

anast19d ago

Yeah, they didn't make enough money to make a story DLC...CEO's had to get those bonuses...
