Rockstar brings GTA Online to life even more – but unfortunately not for all players

Rockstar Games has been keeping busy with the development of GTA 6, but that doesn’t mean they’ve forgotten about GTA Online. In fact, the online multiplayer mode is still receiving fresh updates and features to keep players engaged. One of the latest additions to the game is the introduction of wild animals, adding a new level of realism and immersion to the virtual world. However, there’s a catch – only players on the PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles will get to experience this new feature, leaving others out in the cold.

For years, players have been exploring the vast landscapes of GTA 5’s story mode, encountering various wildlife along the way. Now, Rockstar has finally brought this element into the online mode, allowing players to come across wild animals in the southern part of San Andreas. From deer to mountain lions, the addition of animals adds a new dynamic to the game world, making it feel more alive and unpredictable.

Unfortunately, PC and last-gen console players will miss out on this exciting update. While Rockstar Games hasn’t provided a clear explanation for this decision, it’s disappointing for those who have been loyal fans of the game on different platforms. With a significant player base still active on platforms like Steam, it’s puzzling why the wildlife feature is limited to next-gen consoles.

Despite this setback, the December update for GTA Online brings a host of other new features and improvements for players to enjoy. One of the highlights is the ability to plan heists involving luxury vehicles, giving players the chance to sell or customize stolen cars for profit. Additionally, drift races have been introduced for players who enjoy showing off their driving skills, with the option to modify vehicles at LS Car Meet for optimal performance.

Players with extensive car collections will appreciate the new feature that allows them to manage their fleet directly from the interaction menu. Alongside these changes, Rockstar Games has promised more content updates in the coming weeks, including new music, holiday-themed game modes, and enhancements to the Creator tools.

As GTA Online continues to evolve with fresh content, fans are eagerly anticipating the release of GTA 6. While details about the highly anticipated sequel are still scarce, the commitment to keeping GTA Online engaging and exciting bodes well for the future of the franchise. Stay tuned for more updates and announcements from Rockstar Games as they continue to expand the world of Grand Theft Auto.
