GTA V single-player DLC isn’t planned and is considered unnecessary, Rockstar recently confirmed.
“With GTA V, the single-player game was absolutely massive and very, very complete. It was three games in one,” Rockstar Director of Design, Imran Sarwar, told GameInformer.
“The next-gen versions took a year of everyone’s time to get right, then the online component had a lot of potential, but to come close to realizing that potential also sucked up a lot of resources. And then there are other games – in particular Red Dead Redemption II.
“The combination of these three factors means for this game, we did not feel single-player expansions were either possible or necessary, but we may well do them for future projects.”
Despite an initial announcement in 2013 that the title would receive a story-based expansion, Sarwar said the lack of content “was not really a conscious decision, it’s just what happened.”
Instead, Rockstar has focused on updates to the popular GTA Online service.
For those looking for a single-player fix, Red Dead Redemption 2 is expected next year on Xbox One and PS4.
