And whereas the brand new free enlargement, San Andreas Mercenaries, provides new missions, different assorted content material, and much-needed quality-of-life adjustments, it additionally removes over 180 vehicles and bikes from in-game shops. This large elimination of content material has not gone over effectively with followers, particularly as a number of of the reduce vehicles have been positioned behind a GTA+ paywall.
Since launching in October 2013, GTA On-line has continued to be up to date, expanded, and ported to extra consoles—like PS4 and PS5—as gamers hold returning to the net open-world crime simulator. And the newest replace, San Andreas Mercenaries, is one more large injection of recent content material and sensible adjustments. For instance, no extra mashing the X button to dash! It seems, nonetheless, that this replace has doubtless eliminated extra stuff than it added. Followers found that no less than 189 automobiles have been faraway from in-game shops, making them practically not possible to buy and use if you happen to don’t already occur to have them unlocked.
Rockstar eliminated 189 vehicles from GTA On-line
In a June 8 pre-update information put up on the corporate’s official web site, Rockstar technically did inform gamers it might be eradicating some vehicles. Nevertheless, that warning was imprecise and didn’t specify what number of vehicles can be eliminated, or which particular ones. Many assumed it could be a dozen or so actually previous clunkers that no person cares about in 2023. That wasn’t the case.
After the replace went reside on June 13, gamers started cataloging all of the vehicles that had been faraway from in-game shops and web sites. After crunching the numbers, the record sits at 189 automobiles, a few of which don’t look like “lesser-used” automobiles primarily based on participant reactions to the lengthy record of reduce vehicles.
Rockstar defined on Tuesday that it eliminated these “lesser-used” automobiles from in-game retailers to “streamline the purchasing expertise.” It additionally promised that these automobiles will “often be made out there in different methods” citing the prize wheel on the in-game on line casino as one possibility.
Rockstar’s putting actually beforehand free vehicles behind new GTA+ paywall
Making issues worse is that Rockstar’s lately introduced “Vinewood Automotive Membership,” a brand new perk for paying GTA+ subscribers, options a few of these now-removed vehicles. Particularly, the RE-7B and Stirling GT can now solely be purchased by GTA+ subscribers. This basically means these automobiles that have been as soon as free to earn have been positioned behind a $6-a-month paywall. As well as, GTA+ is at present solely out there for PS5 and Xbox Collection X/S gamers and never PC or legacy console GTA On-line gamers.
Kotaku has contacted Rockstar in regards to the eliminated vehicles.
Even when only some reduce vehicles get stashed behind a GTA+ subscription price, it’s nonetheless extraordinarily irritating to see so many automobiles successfully get deleted from GTA On-line.
Sure, if you happen to personal one in all these vehicles you’ll be able to nonetheless drive it round and luxuriate in it. However for brand new gamers or of us who didn’t personal every little thing—that’s to say, most gamers—this mass elimination sucks. These reduce vehicles, as soon as simply purchasable by way of in-game web sites utilizing free-to-earn forex, at the moment are solely returning “often” at Rockstar’s discretion. This doubtless signifies that, sadly, many gamers won’t ever get an opportunity to personal and function most of those 180+ vehicles, particularly gamers who aren’t GTA+ subscribers.
For gamers seeking to purchase a few of these vehicles, your finest guess now’s to make use of the Los Santos Automotive Meet and attempt to purchase them from different gamers who’re promoting them. However that’s not practically as straightforward because it as soon as was, and sure gained’t be ok for gamers upset with Rockstar’s large change.
