Rockstar Games Welcomes Bully to Its Growing GTA+ Roster

These rumors were not entirely unfounded. According to reliable leaks from industry insiders like TezFunz2 and Yan2295, Bully 2 was indeed in development for several years, potentially starting in the early 2010s. However, the project was reportedly scrapped in 2017 as Rockstar shifted resources to focus on the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6.

This decision likely came down to a matter of priorities. While Bully boasts a dedicated fanbase, Grand Theft Auto is undeniably Rockstar's flagship franchise. With GTA 6 expected to be a massive undertaking, it seems Rockstar felt it necessary to dedicate all available resources to ensure its successful development.

The enduring success of GTA is seemingly taking no prisoners, with GTA 5 story content having been confirmed as a victim of GTA Online. Despite the disappointment of a canceled sequel, the addition of the original Bully in the GTA+ library offers fans a chance to revisit Bullworth Academy and relive the nostalgic experience.

As Rockstar continues to expand its subscription service with beloved classics, it's clear that the company is committed to providing value to GTA+ members in spite of controversy and complaints. With the addition of Bully and the ongoing success of GTA Online, Rockstar is solidifying its position as a dominant force in the gaming industry — something GTA 6 will only strengthen further.
