GTA V Story Mode DLC may not be coming

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has thrown the future of GTA V Story mode DLC into doubt during an earnings conference

When GTA V was first announced for consoles Rockstar Games talked about story mode DLC that they planned to release somewhere down the line. Since then the game has received small DLC packs like Heists and has made its way onto PC with a multiplayer feature. All great content that fans have been thrilled with but it didn’t stop them from asking when new story mode content would be coming. This week during a Take-Two earnings conference an analyst might have gotten the answer out of the company’s CEO.

During the conference an analyst asked Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick the straight forward question of when we could expect to see story mode DLC for GTA V. The answer that he received has thrown everyone for a loop:

Analyst: “When you had originally launched GTA V, I believe that you had said that there was going to be some story-based DLC content shipping eventually. And obviously we’re [now] over a year past the game’s launch. Is that still something that you have planned? I’m sure you’re not going to talk about timing, but is that something that’s still in the pipeline for you guys?”

Zelnick: “No, we haven’t discussed any story-based downloadable content. We did talk about the Heists and they’ve been released.”

What makes Zelnick’s response doubly confusing is that in April 2014 Rockstar specifically said that story mode DLC was in the making in the Rockstar Newswire. Saying “Later this year, look for even more additions to both Grand Theft Auto Online and Grand Theft Auto V, including more holiday-themed updates, some very exciting Story Mode DLC and much more.” The only problem is that they have never officially announced what that content will be.

The most Rockstar has been willing to say about the story mode DLC is that it would continue the story of GTA V’s main characters in San Andreas. It was a vague response that left fans nearly as confused as they are today. So far Rockstar hasn’t come out to say anything about Zelnick’s response, leaving the question hanging up in the air. Take-Two on the other hand reached out to GameSpot to give an official response simply saying that Zelnick misspoke and that they will leave up to Rockstar to announce their games when their ready.

Leaving a complete shadow over whether or not Rockstar has any plans to release story mode DLC for GTA V or not. Until the company decides to come forward and give a response all gamers can do is wonder.

Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.

According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.

He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.

Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.

The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.

There is no definitive confirmation regarding the reversal of the outfits, but considering the language used in the statement and the widespread controversy surrounding the alterations, it is highly likely that a future patch will restore the original costumes. If you want to get a sneak peek at all of Eve’s different outfits and learn how to unlock them, be sure to take a look at our comprehensive guide, All Outfits and How to Get Them.

Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.

Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.

In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.

Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.

It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.

However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
