Grand Theft Auto 6<\/a> may be around the corner, but don’t count out Grand Theft Auto 5<\/a> just yet. Rockstar announced Tuesday that GTA 5 will soon receive a roleplay-focused update called nopixel V. It’ll transform the base game into a multiplayer experience where fans can tell their own stories.<\/p>\n

Coming up with your own ideas has always been possible, but nopixel adds bespoke roleplaying options to the mix. Rockstar is promising<\/a> a reworked character customization system that will help players tell unique stories. The world is also upgraded: better visuals and smarter, more reactive NPCs. nopixel will offer more ways to make money, whether you want to play as a hardened criminal or a law-abiding citizen. The update introduces new areas, like a grand hotel-casino and a revamped version of Cypress Flats.<\/p>\n

Those are the new bits, but Rockstar says there’s a lot more to come. According to a Rockstar blog post, GTA 5 will eventually receive other improvements, such as a new PC game overlay, more events, and “expanded access” to nopixel.<\/p>\n

The post reads, “Every player helps shape the city, and every relationship matters.”<\/p>\n

The closed beta for nopixel begins on Sept. 8 and will be available straight out of the Rockstar Games Launcher. “GTA Roleplay has never felt more alive, and there has never been a better time to tune in,” Rockstar says.<\/p>\n

There’s still no official word on how GTA 6 will incorporate GTA Online’s role-playing elements, or even when the game is coming to PC at all. Until the open-world sequel comes out, nopixel might be the closest thing fans can get to experiencing GTA 6’s in-depth NPC system<\/a>.<\/p>\n
