A Grand Theft Auto Online player has created a visually compelling showcase that highlights the significant impact caused by the removal of vehicles from the game. The showcase video serves as a powerful testament to the consequences of Rockstar's decision to eliminate over 180 cars and bikes from the in-game websites in the latest update of Grand Theft Auto Online.
The recent removal of 194 vehicles for purchase in Grand Theft Auto Online has sparked controversy among players. Although Rockstar claimed that this action aimed to enhance the user experience, gamers have discovered that certain cars that were previously available for free have now been placed behind a paywall as part of the GTA+ service. Furthermore, it has been confirmed that some of the vehicles that were removed will make a comeback as rewards in the form of gambling prizes from The Lucky Wheel.
In a recent video, popular YouTuber Broughy 1322 shed light on the significant consequences of the recent Grand Theft Auto Online update, specifically the removal of various vehicles. Broughy 1322 takes viewers on a virtual tour through two rows of cars, all of which have been removed from the in-game websites where players used to purchase them.
To provide context, the showcased server was set up by 8th Gear FiveM and includes all the cars that have been eliminated. Broughy 1322 emphasizes that the true impact of these removals cannot be fully understood until seen firsthand. The YouTuber reveals that a staggering total of 192 vehicles, including 26 motorcycles, 13 muscle cars, 14 off-road vehicles, 24 sedans, 17 supercars, and various others, can no longer be purchased in Grand Theft Auto Online.
Some GTA Online enthusiasts have raised concerns about the removal of certain vehicles, including all three cars belonging to the main story characters. This means that vehicles like Trevor's Canis Bodhi and Franklin's Buffalo 5 are no longer accessible for players to buy. However, it is important to note that those who had already purchased these cars still have them in their possession. Moreover, players can still acquire these vehicles from non-playable characters in the game world, but they cannot store them until they are officially available for purchase again. This has led some players to express disappointment over the unavailability of cars they had intended to add to their collections.
Grand Theft Auto Online is currently available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
