Rockstar unveil the "next evolution" of modded GTA 5 roleplaying, while staying totally mum on when PC pretenders might be able to migrate to their next game

Yep. I know. GTA 6 is still on the list of storied crime games without a PC release date . GTA 5 , though, is out on PC and has long been the place folks who love Rockstar's crime sandboxes so much they want to pretend they live in them go for a spot of GTA roleplaying.

Rockstar unveil the "next evolution" of modded GTA 5 roleplaying, while staying totally mum on when PC pretenders might be able to migrate to their next game

Rockstar is unveiling the next phase of modded GTA 5 roleplaying, while keeping silent about when PC versions might migrate to their upcoming game. Despite GTA 5 being available on PC, Rockstar seems to be sticking with GTA 6 for online roleplaying. Today, Rockstar endorsed Nopixel Studios' Nopixel V closed beta, set to release on September 8th, where invited players and streamers will access the experience through the Rockstar Games Launcher.

Nopixel V replaces the vanilla GTA map with new buildings and locations, like the Pixel hotel and casino, and reworks character customization mechanics, pedestrians, and gigs for roleplayers. Other GTA games are yet to hit PC, so players can only observe established roleplayers experience Nopixel V. The beta is limited to invited players and streamers, with characters named Dark Suckaberg, Vin Petrol, and Zuck Cuck.

The first and last names belong to separate individuals, and their card art on Nopixel's website does not clarify whether the names imply bizarre Facebook personality variants. In summary, Rockstar is focusing on the next iteration of GTA roleplaying on consoles, leaving PC gamers to watch others enjoy the latest update.
