A former Rockstar Games developer reveals the reason behind the cancelation of the Trevor-centric story DLC in Grand Theft Auto 5.
A former Rockstar Games developer has claimed that the planned Grand Theft Auto 5 story DLCs were canceled due to Grand Theft Auto Online’s immense profitability. Datamined information from 2023 revealed multiple single-player expansions that were planned for Grand Theft Auto 5, but unfortunately never came to fruition.
Tons of GTA 5 fans were looking forward to story expansions after the game’s launch in 2013, but according to a 2017 statement from Rockstar, the development of Red Dead Redemption 2 and supporting GTA Online with regular content updates left barely any resources for the studio to work on GTA 5’s single-player DLCs. While the 2023 leaks pointed to eight scrapped story DLCs for GTA 5 in total, three of them were of particular interest to fans, namely Agent Trevor, Prologue, and LibertyV.
