The incredible success of Grand Theft Auto Online cannot be understated, with it finding such popularity due to its consistent content updates over the year. With a past full of special events to celebrate certain occasions, fans were both surprised and disappointed to discover that Rockstar had forgotten the seven-year anniversary of GTA Online.
With GTA Online updates for the Summer months full of small details and little things for players to strive for, it seems odd that Rockstar would do absolutely nothing for the anniversary of the game. Players likely expected some new cars or weapons, or at the very least a decent bit of free money to use within the game however they wish. Instead, Grand Theft Auto Online players were met with a day like any other for the seventh anniversary.
Considering that not even a double XP weekend or a fix for GTA Online’s invisible hoverbikes has released, fans of GTA Online were quick to take to the game’s subreddit and voice their confusion. One such reddit user, named captainvideoblaster, posted a meme from the show Two and a Half Men. Essentially just poking fun at the way Rockstar forgot about the special day, the post’s top comment from Peak_Idiocy highlights a great touch by the meme maker, as its creator made sure to not make Rockstar talk.
A silent Rockstar is likely a reference to how little the developer has said about both GTA Online’s anniversary and the far-off sequel GTA 6. The notoriously tight-lipped studio has kept fans in the dark for some time now, and they are showing no plans to change up their approach anytime soon. Still, completely forgetting an impressive and important milestone like a mode’s seventh anniversary is undeniably weird. Perhaps GTA Online’s delayed release back when GTA 5 first dropped even threw off Rockstar and made them forget.
While players getting nothing for sticking with the game for seven years is disappointing, Rockstar does seem to be somewhat busy. Likely deep into development of the much-awaited Grand Theft Auto 6, it makes sense for the studio to be less focused on updating a far older game. Beyond that, Rockstar has been updating its more recent title as of late, Red Dead Redemption 2. With Red Dead Online seeing new content like animal transformations and legendary moose hunts added, at least Red Dead fans are getting rewarded for their time.
Red Dead Online could be getting Undead Nightmare content soon as well, likely for Halloween. With GTA 6 in development and a newer game to update with Red Dead Redemption 2, hopefully GTA Online players being forgotten about does not become a more regular occurrence.
GTA Online is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, and will release on PS5 and Xbox Series X in 2021.
