GTA fans angry as Rockstar removes nearly 200 cars from game

GTA Online fans are furious after Rockstar removed nearly 200 cars from the game in a new update.

The release of the San Andreas Mercenaries expansion pack was released on 13 June has resulted in backlash from fans.

Usually, updates to the game are welcomed with open arms, however, players are upset after the update removed at least 189 cars and bikes from the game.

GTA Online players are criticising the number of cars removed from the game.

Some of the vehicles have been put behind its GTA+ subscription costing $6 a month, which is currently only available to PS5 and Xbox Series gamers.

The removal of the vehicles comes days after Rockstar announced a bunch of ‘experience improvements’ for the game earlier this month.

“We’re continuing to improve the online experience with a number of experiential updates and upgrades across all available platforms,” a press release said.

Fans are not happy about the removal of almost 200 cars.

The video game publisher listed nine main updates for the vehicles in the game.

The last bullet point and the one that has seemingly caused the most uproar, states: “Lesser-used vehicles will be removed from in-game websites to streamline the browsing experience. The vehicles will be made available via events showrooms, The Lucky Wheel and other places.”

Judging by the disappointed reactions on Reddit, it seems many players assumed only a handful of motors would be pulled.

One frustrated player commented: "They said lesser vehicles and removed f**king everything.”

Another Reddit user wrote: “They really ruined this update already with that stupid sh*t.”

A third mused: “If there's one thing I have never heard anyone say since 2013 is there are too many cars available to buy. I've never once heard that, not once.

Many have taken to Reddit to complain.

“I tell you what I have heard a lot, there's not enough hangar space to display all my airplanes.”

A fourth commented: “They are taking the p*ss. Look at the huge list, everything is gone and no one even asked for cars to be removed, it was not a problem for anyone. The cars were chilling on the site not bothering anyone. I'm super mad.”

While someone else wrote: “That's a disgusting amount of content removed.”

Rockstar has yet to address on the backlash, however, UNILAD has reached out for comment.
