GTA Online is still a big deal in 2025, even after 11 years since it kicked off in 2013. It’s starting to feel like it’s in a holding pattern, though, with everyone eyeing GTA VI. Here’s the rundown on how it’s doing.
Sales and Player Base
GTA Online comes with GTA V, which has moved over 210 million copies by late 2024, making it the second-biggest game ever. We don’t have exact player numbers for 2025, but back in 2022, it had over 430,000 people playing at once and racked up 91 million hours on Twitch. It’s still high up on PlayStation Store rankings in March 2025—13th in the US/Canada and 8th in Europe for PS5, 12th and 9th for PS4.
Content Updates and Engagement
Rockstar keeps things going with new stuff like the “Agents of Sabotage” update in December 2024 and some “Oscar Guzman Flies Again” content trickling out in 2025. Weekly events, like the 2024 Festive Surprise, keep people hooked.
The game’s got a bit of everything—races, heists, businesses, and role-playing servers—so there’s something for everyone. Players also keep it lively with their own challenges and car meetups.
Where You Can Play
You can jump into GTA Online on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Series X/S. It’s been a standalone game since March 2022, which helps more people get in on it. In 2025, the PC version got a boost with PS5 and Series X/S features, making it look sharper and run smoother.
Challenges and Sentiment
It’s not all smooth sailing. Some folks say the 2025 updates, like “Oscar Guzman Flies Again,” are smaller and spread out, not as exciting as before. New vehicles cost a ton in-game, nudging players toward spending real money, which annoys some.

X posts show people are still into it, but Take-Two said GTA Online made less money in 2025, hinting it’s not as hot as it was. Streamer Shroud called it a mess, but plenty still love it.
Why It’s Still Big
GTA Online pulls in huge Twitch numbers—179,000 viewers on average in April 2024 and 101 million hours watched monthly. Role-playing servers and mods keep it fresh, even with GTA VI on the horizon. New features like collectible scanners and event rewards help it stay relevant.
Bottom line
GTA Online is still going strong in 2025, thanks to steady updates, a solid player base, and tons of ways to play. It’s not at its peak anymore, with GTA VI stealing some thunder and updates feeling lighter, but it’s still a heavy hitter.
