"We've got a bunch of ideas": Rockstar Games reportedly shares exciting plans for new GTA Online events in 2023

Rockstar Games' design director Scott Butchard has recently hinted at GTA Online having more content in 2023 on the eve of its ten-year anniversary. This information stems from a lengthy interview involving the design director and GamesRadar, so here's the most important part:

"It's super important to us that players find new ways to connect with each other - whether through events we create or by us providing the tools for them to create their own moments. We've got a bunch of ideas in the works right now, all the way up until the Holidays at the end of the year, so please stay tuned!"

He didn't reveal much about what players can expect to get. At the very least, gamers will likely get events involving:

• Last Dose story
• Halloween
• Christmas
• The community

GTA Online originally launched on October 1, 2013. Nearly ten years later, it's still going strong.
