Rumor: Bully Could Be Getting a New Update Soon

Key Takeaways

  • Rockstar Games may be patching the Steam version of Bully: Scholarship Edition, marking the first update to the game in 10 years.
  • The PC version of Bully suffers from frequent crashes, and Rockstar may finally be attempting to remedy this.
  • GTA Online’s PS5 and Xbox Series X/S features are scheduled to come to PC in early 2025.

As a long-time fan of Rockstar Games and their unique storytelling, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia when hearing about potential updates to Bully. It was one of those rare games that managed to capture the essence of adolescence with humor, charm, and a dash of rebellion. If you haven’t played it yet, imagine Grand Theft Auto in a high school setting – now isn’t that a sight!

A whisper suggests that Rockstar Games might update the PC edition of “Bully”. Though it’s not verified yet, this speculation brings joy to fans of the game, as it appears Rockstar has largely overlooked “Bully” for a considerable period.

Back in 2006, I got my hands on one of the best games Rockstar ever crafted – “Bully” for the PlayStation 2. What made it stand out was its unique environment, a departure from the criminal worlds we usually explore in their sandbox games like those starring CJ or Tommy Vercetti. Instead, Bully dropped us into the chaotic life of a high-school misfit named Jimmy, offering a refreshing change of pace.

Presently, an insider from Rockstar Games known as Tez2 has detected a fresh development branch appearing on the Steam variant of Bully: Scholarship Edition. This game update has been absent for more than a decade. The PC version of Bully is less than ideal, given its frequent crashes. These changes observed by Tez2 might suggest that Rockstar is finally addressing these persistent glitches. It’s plausible that this move aims to incorporate the PC version of Bully into GTA+. Previously, Rockstar integrated Bully’s Scholarship Edition into GTA+, but only console and mobile ports are part of the service. However, Rockstar has lately disclosed that PC players will soon have access to the content within GTA+, which could be prompting these alterations.

Bully Could Be Getting a New Update Ahead of GTA+ Support

New information about Bully has come up recently, with reports from August suggesting that the game has received several new age ratings in Taiwan. This could mean that Rockstar Games is currently developing a remastered version of Bully, or it might just be an update to its age classifications since the game is now available on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S via the GTA+ subscription service. Given Rockstar’s history of revitalizing their games, a remastered version of Bully isn’t out of the question.

Essentially, what we can anticipate from Rockstar right now is an enhanced or remastered version of Bully, or possibly an updated PC edition without glitches. At the moment, their primary focus lies on the upcoming launch of GTA 6, and it’s not likely that Bully 2 will be their next project following that release. As it stands, the Bully series hasn’t seen a new addition in roughly 18 years, while the Red Dead Redemption IP remains highly popular, making it improbable for fans to expect a new Bully game soon.
