Grand Theft Auto V Multiplayer Tied To Max Payne 3?

By Matt Mann / March 22, 2012

There has been no official news on Grand Theft Auto V since the trailer was released last year; but today we have our first major info about the multiplayer feature in Grand Theft Auto V. Rockstar Games co-founder Dan Houser have announced that the multiplayer in Grand Theft Auto V will be connected to the multiplayer feature in Max Payne 3. You will be able to use the crews you created in Max Payne 3 in Grand Theft Auto V multiplayer because of the Social Club integration. Here is the official statement from Houser:

"Multiplayer is an ever-more important part of all our games moving forward. And by creating crews through Social Club, the crews that you create in Max Payne 3 will be ready and available for you to play in Grand Theft Auto V from day one. It's all part of our larger approach to make multiplayer deeper and richer than what's currently available, much more easily accessible to the newcomer and rewarding for the hardcore. We made a promise not to talk too much about forthcoming games until a little further down the track but, yes, crews will feature in Grand Theft Auto V multiplayer."

In other words, this will likely be the only official information we will be getting about Grand Theft Auto V until the release of Max Payne 3. So unfortunately we may have a while before we hear any new details about the game, including a release date which is looking less and less likely that Grand Theft Auto V will be released this year.
