As such, the online game is not getting a major Winter DLC like it did in the past years and will only be getting Event Weeks and Seasonal content in the future.

Another internal source also revealed how Grand Theft Auto 6 may not be released next year, as the game is currently planned for a 2025 release, which sounds disappointing but not entirely unexpected, given past indications that the game would be out by March 2025.
