"Grand Theft Auto V" (GTA V) has no more follow-up content. This was confirmed by Rockstar Games themselves due to a more focused effort on their upcoming game "Red Dead Redemption 2."
Imran Sarwar, Rockstar director of design had an interview with Game Informer, where he stated that GTA V is pretty much a complete experience already and will not need any downloadable content (DLC). The studio reportedly had to split its efforts for the development of "Red Dead Redemption 2."
Sarwar also pointed out that the game's generational change from PlayStation 3 (PS3) and Xbox 360 to PS4 and Xbox One and eventually PC consumed a lot of resources that could have been allotted for developing single-player expansions. "GTA Online" was also a huge undertaking and required similar resources in order to maintain. The three obstacles Sarwar mentioned ultimately contributed to the lack of a story DLC for "GTA V."
"The combination of these three factors means for [GTA5], we did not feel single-player expansions were either possible or necessary, but we may well do them for future projects," said Sarwar.
Their player base, however, was polarized on the issue. A lot of the players of "GTA V" even claimed that the studio is now only interested in "milking more money" from "GTA Online" players with minimal effort. The other half was happy that "Red Dead Redemption 2" was being prioritized.
Games Radar's very own poll on the matter included four choices, namely: "(1) No, I feel ripped off and I'm not supporting Rockstar anymore, (2) No, I feel let down, but I'm still hyped for Red Dead 2, (3) Yes, I was never going to buy single-player DLC anyway, and (4) Yes, if it means making Red Dead Redemption 2 better."
The second answer received the majority of votes, 55 percent based on 583 voters, meaning that despite being let-down by Rockstar, they are still supporting "Red Dead Redemption 2." Next, the fourth answer got 22 percent of all the votes, meaning that they trust Rockstar to make the upcoming game better than expected. Whether Rockstar will exceed expectations or disappoint again remains to be seen.
