Map updates are a fairly regular occurrence in games that are bolstered by DLC or battle pass content. However, the rollout of this content could be markedly different when it is applied to “Grand Theft Auto 6.”

While Henderson pointed out that he doesn’t know if the DLC will come in the form of a battle pass or separate additions to the game, he seems to be certain of one thing: the map will change even if you don’t have access to the DLC. Essentially, rumor has it that the map will change for all players as DLC is introduced to the game.

That doesn’t mean everyone will get all of the content that comes with the DLC, such as new missions or characters. These elements could still be locked away behind a paywall, even as players are able to traverse the new terrain. Either way, this concept puts an interesting twist on what DLC could look like for “GTA 6” and other games in the future.
