June 2022 marks the third year anniversary of when the Grand Theft Online Cops ‘N Crooks DLC was supposed to be released — and GTA Online fans still look back on what could have been.
First rumored in 2019, the Cops “N Crooks DLC was set to be centered around the fan-favorite GTA IV game mode Cops and Crooks. GTA role-playing servers became a massive trend online and most of them focused on the premise of players taking up roles as either police officers or crooks.
