The Babyfication of Games
Grand Theft Auto V was released over 9 years ago, but the player base is largely intact due to regular updates to the Online Multiplayer. The game had some technical issues at launch, most notably a CPU utilization issue, but most recent chips shouldn’t have any issues running it.
Subscribers of the Extra and Premium tiers of PS Plus will lose access to a total of 12 games during the month of June, 2024.
I think everyone and their sister owns the game by now. They likely want to squeeze the rest of the holdouts before GTAVI releases.
That game comes and goes from subscriptions so frequently I think it's expected now. Like rdr2 on gamepass Rockstar Games only last a max of 3 months On a service
indivisible was pretty neat. Cute artstyle, fun throwback to older RPGs, shame its leaving but it is on sale often
Definitely. I e joyed what I played of it. Still gotta grab the physical at some point
I'm not surprised by GTA V removal, Rockstar never allows this game to stay long on a subscription service.
They usually allow 4 to 6 months.
Yeah, they do that routinely with both GTA and Red Dead.
But it's because they know they can still sell them so they take them off and on to these sub services in cycle.
The weird thing to me is why is anyone still buying those games at this point? You would think after 3 generations of being sold GTA 5 that everyone and their momma would have it by now
I fail to see how the loss of an almost 11 year old game that released across 3 generations is in any way a problem.
From school politics to ping-pong, pistols to police procedurals, let’s dive into the best that Rockstar has to offer.
To bad about those EA layoffs, lot of good people got the can.
