Is GTA Online support about to end on PS4 and Xbox One?
GTA Online對PS4和Xbox One的支持即將結束嗎？
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星即將結束PS4和Xbox One版本的GTA 線上的內容更新嗎？這是GTAO社區一段時間以來一直在問的問題。在這篇文章中，我們將討論為什麼這是一種現實的可能性。
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:
我們現在已經進入了GTA V/GTA Online以及PS4和Xbox One的第十個年頭。GTA 線上的Xbox 360和PS3版本在PS4和Xbox One發佈僅一年後就停止了更新。Rockstar對此的推理發表在給Kotaku的一份聲明中：
“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.”
“隨著時間的推移，我們繼續優化整個遊戲，以便從最後一代硬件中擠出儘可能多的內存。在某個時候，繼續為這些系統添加內容可能會導致遊戲整體不穩定的風險。”
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.
雖然《俠盜獵車手V》直到2014年才在那些動力不足的遊戲機上發佈，但它們已經進行了九年的內容更新。這是《俠盜獵車手在線》近十年來跨越各種領域的內容。PS4和Xbox One只有這麼多剩餘內存，Rockstar將無法再添加，就像Xbox 360和PS3版本一樣。
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，為最新的遊戲機PS5和Xbox Series X|S發佈了GTA V和GTA Online的新版本和改進版本。這種新硬件為開發人員提供了更多的資源，而《俠盜獵車手》系列的下一個作品正在製作中。這些新版本的性能非常好，允許60FPS、光線跟蹤、4K和更高的保真度。為Xbox One、One S、One X、PS4、PS4 Pro和PC創建內容是一項艱鉅的任務；將另外三個控制檯添加到池中，這對團隊來說將是更多的工作。
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.
隨著GTA V和GTA Online在PS5和Xbox Series X|S上的巨大成功，許多人想知道Rockstar是否會放棄對上一代主機的支持。在發佈後的遊戲時間段內，PS5和Xbox Series X|S遊戲機的銷量遠遠超過了前代遊戲機，因此“還沒有人擁有下一代”的說法是不準確的。一些地區的供應仍然有限，但其他地區的PS5已經在庫存中廣泛使用。在過去的幾個月裡，GTA V每月都會賣出更多的副本，這一點得到了證明。
Where is the end of updates speculation coming from?
更新猜測的終點在哪裡？
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為活動周發佈的最新新聞通訊中，工作室提到了一些引起好奇粉絲興趣的事情。在他們談到即將發生的潛在平衡變化後，他們表示“我們將很快分享更多細節，以及其他微調工作和服務更新。”這些“服務更新”可能是什麼？切斷對上一代控制檯的更新？這純粹是猜測，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，社區成員對PS4和Xbox One的GTA Online的未來越來越猜測。玩家們注意到，在繁忙的公共大廳玩遊戲時，這些遊戲機上的性能問題要頻繁得多。雖然這可能是由於匆忙更新造成的錯誤，但開發人員缺乏可用的資源可能是一個原因。
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遊戲玩家也已經等待了一年多，等待HSW、光線追蹤和GTA+等下一代內容被引入他們的平臺。我們已經報道了一些傳言，因為Rockstar已經開始為PC準備這些內容，但最近相當平靜。在上一代支持結束的同時，看到PC版本從下一代版本中獲得功能是有意義的。
