Five reasons to play Rockstar Games' GTA Online in 2025

1) New DLC content to explore

Even though the GTA Online Agents of Sabotage DLC update was released in December 2024, its content is still fresh in 2025. Rockstar Games added various new things that you can explore and enjoy in the multiplayer game. Some of the key highlights of the Agents of Sabotage DLC are as follows:

Purchasable Darnell Bros. Garment Factory business.
Four new DLC missions titled The FIB Files.
New vehicles, including purchasable cop cars.
New Dispatch Work missions.

If you have not played the DLC yet, we suggest you hop into the game as soon as possible.

2) Rockstar has yet to release new missions

Even though the GTA Online Agents of Sabotage DLC added a bunch of new gameplay content, Rockstar Games has yet to release many new things. Immediately after the release of the update, PC data miners discovered a new business located in the McKenzie Field Hangar. The business also contains a new mission series.

Moreover, there are unreleased cars and aircraft coming to the game in the future. Therefore, these things should not be avoided in GTA Online.

3) Expanded and Enhanced features coming to PC

On November 1, 2025, Rockstar Games announced that the PC version of the multiplayer game will get the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S features in 2025. The official Newswire stated the following:

“There is much more still to come, including…plans to bring the much-requested PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S features of GTA Online to the PC platform in the new year.”

It is one of the most requested things from the community. If you are a PC player, then wait for the Expanded and Enhanced features to celebrate the New Year in GTA Online.

4) Offers different types of game modes

Whether you are a business grinder, a heist planner, or a racing enthusiast, Grand Theft Auto Online has everything to offer. Over the years, the multiplayer game has become a conglomerate of various game modes that cater to many types of players. The best thing is you can play everything without having to change lobbies.

Therefore, if you are looking for a diverse gameplay experience, you should definitely play GTA Online in 2025. You can also play missions based on various other games or movies.

5) To find all the hidden collectibles

Collecting hidden items is also a part of the Grand Theft Auto Online gameplay. While it was a bit difficult before, the task has become easier after the December 2024 DLC. Rockstar Games now offers a collectibles scanner in the Benefactor Terrorbyte that shows you the exact location of the collectible items.

Ergo, if you have yet to find all the collectibles, you should do it in 2025. Finding hidden items is a great way to make money in GTA Online. Moreover, some of them also unlock new features and rewards.
