“Don’t care, GTA 6 now”: Fans react to GTA Online Los Santos Drug Wars DLC's release date being announced

The winter update in GTA Online is currently one of the most anticipated topics in the community. Rockstar Games teased the upcoming DLC with two newsletters that included various details about the new changes.

However, some fans aren't impressed with the announcement and have asked the developers about the next title in the series. One user, Ahmed, unequivocally stated, "Don't care, gta 6 now."

Although the developer is yet to confirm much of the rumored information, the DLC's release date has given fans more time to speculate about upcoming gameplay changes.

Rockstar Games will release the Los Santos Drug Wars DLC for GTA Online on December 13, 2022

On December 8, 2022, Rockstar Games shared a tweet announcing the name and release date of the speculated winter DLC in GTA Online. The Los Santos Drug Wars will bring major gameplay changes to the multiplayer game on December 13, 2022.

While PC and next-gen consoles were always expected to receive the content update, Rockstar has also included the old-gen PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in the list. However, many sources claim that this may be the final GTA Online DLC update for older platforms as the studio will be shifting its focus to next-gen hardware.

The Los Santos Drug Wars DLC will primarily focus on Blaine County and will include several businesses and missions in the area. According to the newsletter, there will be a new story update that will take place in two parts. It also mentioned a chemistry lab, which is most likely the new acid lab business in GTA Online.

Rockstar referred to these gameplay changes as "the first dose," and assured players of more holiday surprises, significant story and gameplay updates, vehicles, new quality-of-life changes, and much more.
