should have been another enormous success for Rockstar in the same way that was. After all, it had a huge fan base who wanted nothing more than to head back into the wonderfully realized Wild West of and experience new content, as well as the backing of a talented developer with a lot of resources.
To many, it felt like there was no way that could fail, and yet, in 2025, its player counts are dwindling. never saw the same success as, and that is a shame.
However, it has led many to wonder whether is worth saving in 2025, or indeed, whether it's worth playing for newcomers. After a fairly lengthy run — launched in 2019 — there is a lot to experience for both dedicated fans and those who are completely new to both and its online counterpart.
Of course, lots of content doesn't always translate to a completely enjoyable experience. current player base — which sits at just over 1,000 daily players on Steam, according to Steam Charts — is not happy with the state of the game. Ever since Rockstar stopped updating the game back in 2022, fans have been left with what often feels like an unfinished experience, one with a lot of undelivered potential that's more tantalizing than fun.
This has even led several players to start a petition to save in the hopes that it will get Rockstar's attention. Rockstar had always struggled with balancing the game's microtransactions with its level of enjoyable content, releasing numerous updates that added more interesting roles but cost too much to unlock and ended up not delivering the intended experience.
