In the past few years, there was a significant hue and cry claiming that single player games are dead. GTA 5 is a great example that showcases that both single player and multiplayer titles could co-exist.
The game has managed to stay relevant for seven years now and Rockstar’s another title Red Dead Redemption 2 is equally good in terms of sales.
With the advent of titles like Fortnite and PUBG, the majority of the gaming industry started believing that single player games are dead. However, reality is entirely different which is what Rockstar wanted everyone to know. They further added that they are rather confident on single player story telling and will not retire the concept anytime from GTA Online or their future games.
