Even thoughGrand Theft Auto 6is on the horizon, Rockstar Games recently launchedGrand Theft Auto Onlinefor PS5 and Xbox Series X, indicating that the company still has big plans for it moving forward. Part of the reason why Rockstar has been able to keep so many people playingGrand Theft Auto Onlineover the years is thanks to regular content updates, and according to a new rumor, one of its biggest could be right around the corner.
Leaker Matheusvictorbr- hinted on Twitter that Rockstar Games is planning a big update forGrand Theft Auto Onlinethis summer. Details on what exactly this update will entail weren’t divulged beyond that it would include a map expansion. They included an image of the Statue of Liberty in the tweet, which suggests that this supposedGrand Theft Auto Onlinemap expansion would take place inLiberty City, theGTAuniverse’s version of New York.

Matheusvictorbr- has accurately leaked someGrand Theft Autonews in the past, so while they’re a bit more reliable than other leakers, fans should still take this information with a massive grain of salt. It’s always possible that the information is inaccurate, or that plans will change between now and when the expansion is supposed to launch. Beyond that, this is far from the first time that aLiberty City expansion has been rumored forGrand Theft Auto Online.
In fact, rumors of a Liberty City expansion forGrand Theft Auto Onlinehave persisted for years, only for nothing to ever come from them. Every time that Rockstar has been rumored to beadding Liberty City toGTA Online, it’s turned out to be inaccurate, so who’s to say this time will be any different.
Then again, a big map expansion would be just the kind of thing to not only keep people playingGrand Theft Auto Onlineregularly, but also potentially bring back lapsed players. And with Rockstar Games rolling out aGrand Theft Auto Onlinesubscription service, it has an even greater vested interest in bringing as many people toGrand Theft Auto Onlineas possible. Fans shouldn’t hold their breath, but it’s easy to see how a substantial map expansion like this would make a lot of business sense.
It’s unclear at this point if the rumored Liberty City expansion forGrand Theft Auto Onlinewill ever materialize, but fans can still count on new content coming to the game in some capacity while they wait for info on thein-developmentGrand Theft Auto 6.
Grand Theft Auto Onlineis out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
