Numerous old Call of Duty games still have servers online, but it can still be rather hard to find a lobby depending on the title. There are still a surprising amount of games active on Xbox 360 and PS3, partially thanks to things like backward compatibility on Xbox consoles. GTA 5 will come to new consoles this November with a standalone version of GTA Online, and Rockstar plans to continue to support the game through new updates, so there's still a big future in store for the title. If there's no financial reason to keep the servers alive, it makes sense for Rockstar to shut it all down. It's not a total surprise, as it seems unlikely there are that many players playing the game or buying microtransactions on those out of date consoles. Additionally, Rockstar will be shutting down stat tracking for Max Payne 3 and LA Noire on those two platforms as well. Players can still play story mode on those platforms, but will no longer have access to online on Xbox 360 and PS3.

The game has not only ballooned in popularity over the last decade, but it has also expanded into other things entirely. GTA Online has evolved a lot since launching in 2013, shortly after the launch of Grand Theft Auto V itself. Of course, the title will still remain on other, more modern platforms. GTA Online will turn eight on these platforms soon, but Rockstar will be pulling support at the end of the year, subsequently killing the game where it all started.

“However, it could just be that the UI would utilize RDR2's base code, while the rest remains the same.”Īnother interesting tidbit is that the updated game files seem to suggest that players might be able to transfer over their characters once the enhanced versions of GTA V release. “Found out new structs that were added with the recent update relating to the standalone version and one of them is "rage::fwuiMessageBase", which is from RDR2's RAGE version, so that seems to go along what & stated, that the enhanced edition is likely to utilize RDR2's RAGE version”, ‘Tez2 wrote.
