GTA 5 is one of the greatest games of all time. It still generates over a billion dollars in revenue each year. This is largely due to GTA Online, GTA 5's multiplayer mode. Shark Card revenues alone are enough for Rockstar to continue to support the game even after nearly 9 years. Rockstar Games recently announced a standalone version of GTA Online. Rumor has it that this version is free to play.
