    While GTA Online has seen itself receiving a slew of updates since its launch, Grand Theft Auto V and its single-player story has had nothing, despite mention of "substantial" story DLC touted for 2014. Clearly, that didn't materialise and that's not set to change, as Rockstar has stated it's simply not on the cards, as the team has completely shifted its focus to providing content for GTA Online.
    “Right now our focus is on GTA Online which has exceeded our expectations,” Rockstar's Design Director Imran Sarwar told IGN when quizzed about the possibility of solo story content. “We currently have all key members of the team that launched Grand Theft Auto V focused on supporting GTA Online in every capacity.”
    Don't expect any new Heists though. The selection released is all you're going to get, as they were much harder to make than Rockstar had originally anticipated. “Heists have been a huge success, and they really revitalised the GTA Online community,” Sarwar added.
    “Heists encourage people to play together while giving them the chance to earn serious amounts of cash. However, as we’ve said before they were also a lot harder to make than we initially thought they would be, and it took us multiple tries to come up with the design that we eventually launched - but we believe and hope it was well worth the wait for everyone.
    “They were a tremendous undertaking and for now we have other ideas for GTA Online that we’re working to deliver,” said Sarwar. That means Grand Theft Auto V's future lies exclusively in GTA Online, with a lot more content to come, including the Freemode Events Update coming next week, although there'll be no future updates for Xbox 360 and PS3, as Rockstar claims its reached the technical capacity of what last-gen consoles can handle.
    And obviously, don't expect any GTA 5 story DLC.
