GTA Online standalone might be coming as GTA V sales get saturated
Rockstar Games might release a standalone version for GTA Online soon. It looks like the sales for GTA V are getting saturated while Take-Two is looking to reach more potential players.
In the publisher’s recent financial earnings call it was revealed that GTA V has now sold more than 140 million copies. For a game from 2013, GTA V has stayed pretty relevant. The game gets regular content & quality of life updates.
“As you sell that many units, you will at some point arrive at the conclusion that you’ve saturated for purchasing the title“, said Strauss Zelnick, CEO, Take-Two Interactive at a Morgan Stanley technology conference. “At that point you’re willing to experiment with the possibility that maybe there is another way to bring people into the online experience. Make it super-low friction, low price point. Sure, you don’t have access to the original single-player experience, but you do have access to an online world. Our view is perhaps that’s a different market and that’s a way to expand the player base.“(Source: GameSpot)
Rockstar recently released a standalone online version for Red Dead Online. Zelnick called it a “proof-of-concept”.
With a standalone version players will be able to enjoy the online experience without installing the single-player content.
Releasing a standalone version will allow Rockstar to cater for a wider audience. Rockstar can reduce the game’s size by cutting unnecessary offline content and further optimize the game for online focused gameplay.
Also, the microtransactions model in GTA Online has turned out to be pretty profitable for Take-Two Interactive so releasing a standalone will impact the sales for the full game, but the microtransactions for online will probably compensate for the potential loss.
Overall, it looks like good decision by the company to reach to those players that are interested only in the online mode and aren’t willing to spend to buy a full version game. It’ll also help those that own the game on a different platform and wish to play the online mode but aren’t willing to spend big bucks again to play on a different platform.
