Is GTA Online support about to end on PS4 and Xbox One?
GTA Online对PS4和Xbox One的支持即将结束吗？
Is Rockstar Games about to end content updates for the PS4 and Xbox One versions of GTA Online? This has been a question the GTAO community has been asking for quite some time now. In this article we’re going to go over why it is a realistic possibility.
R星即将结束PS4和Xbox One版本的GTA 线上的内容更新吗？这是GTAO社区一段时间以来一直在问的问题。在这篇文章中，我们将讨论为什么这是一种现实的可能性。
We are now in the tenth year for GTA V/GTA Online as well as the PS4 and Xbox One. The Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of GTA Online stopped receiving updates just a year after the release of the PS4 and Xbox One. Rockstar’s reasoning for this was published in a statement to Kotaku:
我们现在已经进入了GTA V/GTA Online以及PS4和Xbox One的第十个年头。GTA 线上的Xbox 360和PS3版本在PS4和Xbox One发布仅一年后就停止了更新。Rockstar对此的推理发表在给Kotaku的一份声明中：
“WE HAVE CONTINUED TO OPTIMIZE THE ENTIRE GAME OVER TIME IN ORDER TO SQUEEZE AS MUCH MEMORY AS WE POSSIBLY COULD OUT OF THE LAST-GENERATION HARDWARE AND AT SOME POINT, CONTINUING TO ADD CONTENT FOR THOSE SYSTEMS COULD CAUSE THE RISK OF INSTABILITY TO THE GAME OVERALL.”
“随着时间的推移，我们继续优化整个游戏，以便从最后一代硬件中挤出尽可能多的内存。在某个时候，继续为这些系统添加内容可能会导致游戏整体不稳定的风险。”
Whilst GTA V did not launch on those already underpowered consoles until 2014, they’ve had nine years of content updates. That’s nearly a decade’s worth of content spanning all kinds of sections for GTA Online. The PS4 and Xbox One only have so much remaining memory before Rockstar will not be able to add anymore, much like the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions.
虽然《侠盗猎车手V》直到2014年才在那些动力不足的游戏机上发布，但它们已经进行了九年的内容更新。这是《侠盗猎车手在线》近十年来跨越各种领域的内容。PS4和Xbox One只有这么多剩余内存，Rockstar将无法再添加，就像Xbox 360和PS3版本一样。
The growing list of GTA Online content updates
New and improved versions of GTA V and GTA Online released for the latest consoles, the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, last year. This new hardware gives the developers far more resources to work with whilst the next entry in the Grand Theft Auto series is in the works. Performance of these new versions have been very good allowing for 60FPS, ray tracing, 4K and more fidelity. Creating content for the Xbox One, One S, One X, PS4, PS4 Pro and the PC is a lot; adding three more consoles into the pool even more work for the teams.
去年，为最新的游戏机PS5和Xbox Series X|S发布了GTA V和GTA Online的新版本和改进版本。这种新硬件为开发人员提供了更多的资源，而《侠盗猎车手》系列的下一个作品正在制作中。这些新版本的性能非常好，允许60FPS、光线跟踪、4K和更高的保真度。为Xbox One、One S、One X、PS4、PS4 Pro和PC创建内容是一项艰巨的任务；将另外三个控制台添加到池中，这对团队来说将是更多的工作。
With the huge success of GTA V and GTA Online for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, many people have wondered when not if Rockstar will drop support for the last gen of consoles. The PS5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles are far exceeding sales compared to their predecessors in the game time period from release so the argument “no one has next gen yet” is not accurate. Some regions still have limited supply but others have seen widespread PS5 units instore. This is proven with GTA V selling more copies each month over the last few months.
随着GTA V和GTA Online在PS5和Xbox Series X|S上的巨大成功，许多人想知道Rockstar是否会放弃对上一代主机的支持。在发布后的游戏时间段内，PS5和Xbox Series X|S游戏机的销量远远超过了前代游戏机，因此“还没有人拥有下一代”的说法是不准确的。一些地区的供应仍然有限，但其他地区的PS5已经在库存中广泛使用。在过去的几个月里，GTA V每月都会卖出更多的副本，这一点得到了证明。
Where is the end of updates speculation coming from?
更新猜测的终点在哪里？
In Rockstar’s latest newswire post for an event week, the studio mentioned something that peaked the interest of curious fans. After they talked about potential upcoming balance changes they stated “We will share more details on this as well as other fine-tuning efforts and service updates soon.” What could these “service updates” be? Cutting off updates to the prior generation of consoles? This is purely speculation but something to think about.
在Rockstar为活动周发布的最新新闻通讯中，工作室提到了一些引起好奇粉丝兴趣的事情。在他们谈到即将发生的潜在平衡变化后，他们表示“我们将很快分享更多细节，以及其他微调工作和服务更新。”这些“服务更新”可能是什么？切断对上一代控制台的更新？这纯粹是猜测，但值得思考。
As mentioned earlier in the article, community members have become increasingly speculative over the future of GTA Online for PS4 and Xbox One. Players have noticed far more frequent performance issues on those consoles when playing in busy public lobbies. Whilst it could be bugs due to rushing updates out, lack of juice available to the developers could be a reason.
正如文章前面提到的，社区成员对PS4和Xbox One的GTA Online的未来越来越猜测。玩家们注意到，在繁忙的公共大厅玩游戏时，这些游戏机上的性能问题要频繁得多。虽然这可能是由于匆忙更新造成的错误，但开发人员缺乏可用的资源可能是一个原因。
PC gamers have also been waiting over a year now for the next gen content such as HSW, ray tracing, and GTA+ to be brought over to their platform. We’ve reported on some rumblings happening as Rockstar have begun preparing that content for PC but it has been rather quiet lately. It would make some sense to see the PC version gain the features from the next gen version around the same time last gen has support ended.
PC游戏玩家也已经等待了一年多，等待HSW、光线追踪和GTA+等下一代内容被引入他们的平台。我们已经报道了一些传言，因为Rockstar已经开始为PC准备这些内容，但最近相当平静。在上一代支持结束的同时，看到PC版本从下一代版本中获得功能是有意义的。
