Grand Theft Auto developer Rockstar announced that it will close the popular multiplayer mode of the game on some consoles.

From December 16th, the GTA online mode played by more than 100,000 people around the world will no longer exist on Xbox 360 and PS3.

Rockstar said that this move will end the multiplayer game mode and website statistics tracking through Rockstar Games Social Club.

The American company will continue to run the service on Xbox One and PS4, and it has maintained a strong momentum since the launch of GTA 5 nearly eight years ago.

“Please note that these changes only apply to the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of GTA Online,” Rockstar said in a statement on Wednesday.

The New York-based company added that the shutdown “will not affect the access or progress of Grand Theft Auto V Story Mode.”
