Even After GTA V’s 10th Anniversary, Fans Have One Sheer Complaint on Why Rockstar Did Not Re-Introduce a Gameplay Feature From It’s Predecessor’s

For the 10th Anniversary of GTA V, Rockstar Games released a bunch of new content and rewards.

Many fans seem disappointed with the new update as it brings nothing new to the single-player mode in Grand Theft Auto V.
