The fanbase was hyped when Rockstar Games announced next-gen versions of GTA V and GTA Online. These improved versions would be right at home on Sony and Microsoft’s latest consoles, the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, respectively. However, the stand-alone version of Grand Theft Auto Online has run into hot water with fans on the day of its launch.
On Xbox Series // PS5 edition of GTA Online, Franklins interior still hasn't been fixed from when it got messed up in November 2021.
The God Mode glitches also haven't been fixed. So much for 'Quality Of Life' fixes pic.twitter.com/06XIbbXKT2— GTA News 🔴 RockstarINTEL.com (@GTAonlineNews) March 14, 2022

Despite offering features like 4K resolution, ray tracing, faster loading times, and much more, GTA Online has met heavy scrutiny online. Significantly, fans are taking issues with pre-existing glitches that are yet to be fixed. A recent Twitter post saw fan discontentment boil to the surface.
GTA Online’s next-gen update fails to fix the quality of life issues
The GTA community has been waiting for the next-gen update with bated breath. It promised tempting features like frame rates up to 60 FPS, improved textures, and HDR options among others. Furthermore, fans were looking forward to the quality of life improvements upon the base GTA Online experience. However, in a disappointing turn of events, players would need to contend with those glitches for a while longer.

A user on Twitter has noted that the latest version of GTA Online still suffers from the problems of its predecessor. Chiefly, Franklin’s interior is yet to be fixed in the recent update. They add that the issue has been plaguing the game world since November 2021. Additionally, the annoying God mode glitches are yet to be eradicated. So players would have to continue dealing with hackers who can ruin their day.
Significantly, GTA Online’s next-gen update isn’t free. And so players would need to spend $19.99 to purchase a game that has the quality of life problems. Accordingly, fans have taken to Twitter to vent their frustrations on the state of the game.
Bro you’re telling me I’m paying them $20 for nothing basically?

Besides this, Player ratings are plummeting quite rapidly for the game.
The one BIGGEST THING THAT I WANTED PATCHED IT GODMODE. I just rated this new version a 7.5/10 to someone, but now it is a 6/10. How could they not fix godmode. A new version, with new players, and godmode will still be a problem???

A user’s reaction clearly depicts the disappointment with the persisting issues. The god-mode concerns can possibly sting the gaming reputation.
This is the laziest thing I’ve seen by Rockstar. Imagine charging for an “upgrade” that has zero noticeable upgrades

The Rockstar franchise seems to be facing some serious backlash for the upgrade row which has stirred in the gaming fans. A user considered this to be lazy and unfair in terms of charging for the upgrade.
I'll just stick to the Ps4 version probably. Makes no sense to switch to the Ps5 version when my colleague plays on the Ps4. Had me actually somewhat looking forward to the Ps5 version, but is not really worth it

Furthermore, the damage from the Remastered Trilogy still lingers.
After the "remastered" trilogy, people still shill for Rockstar. lmao.

The glitches are creeping onto console versions which can increase the issues of the gaming franchise.
Ngl I really don't care about the interior thing but the god mode shit is so annoying. Ik PC players have dealt w it for years but I've seen the glitches slowly make their way to consoles and nothing is being done to stop them

Based on the reaction from yet another fan, it seems like a never-ending cycle of issues plaguing the game.
When was the last time they even patched a God Mode glitch? Don’t worry, I’ll wait. Even if they were to fix it there would be a new one. Just an endless cycle. 🤷🏾♂️

Fans can be absolutely savage sometimes when they do not get their expectations fulfilled when it comes to gaming.
