Rumours have been swirling for a while now that Rockstar has been working on some sort of single player expansion for Grand Theft Auto V, but those whispers have been silenced by design director Imran Sarwar, who told IGN that the developer's current focus is purely is on the multiplayer side of things.
"Right now our focus is on GTA Online which has exceeded our expectations. We currently have all key members of the team that launched Grand Theft Auto V focused on supporting GTA Online in every capacity," Sarwar stated.
We're understandably a bit disappointed since we reckon that the game's impressive open world surely has more intriguing stories to tell, but given Grand Theft Auto Online's continued popularity, the studio's stance makes sense - at least for now.

Until they add a gta iv like party mode where i can just mess around with my buddies without worry of how much cash we are burning through on our crime sprees ive officially taken a permanent break from gta. My last good. Time with friends cost each of us almost half a million in ammo, vests, food, car costs, etc and this was a private session with 5-6 friends, which has since 360 been the norm. Im glad they are focusing on online, i just hope a true party mode gets thrown in there at some point. But i guess that would just defeat the purpose of,shark cards huh?
"We're understandably a bit disappointed"
Me too.
Rockstar have created such an amazing world in GTA5 that it deserves more value from SP content to be taken from it...
Vice city remaster please.
Time to move on. Give me RDR 2 please...
I enjoyed the single player but traded in long ago after realising that they weren't been entirely truthful about future dlc and I have very little interest in gta online. Good game though I feel the series peaked around Vice city and San andreas. Just make Red Dead Redemption 2 please
I'd rather have had single player expansions than added online features. Online never wants to work, but then again, my internet isn't exactly ideal.
Why make something interesting and artistic when you can get rich the lazy way?
I want gta 6!!! Set in a smaller area. With less submarine nuclear recovery.
@Swiket thank you. I was going to say this also. They weren't rumors damit! Rockstar said it.
Yeah, that kinda sucks. Maybe it will still happen in the near future. I still want Rockstar to make a new Bully game though.
