There are a handful of evidences that build around the speculation. According to a piece from RDR2, Rockstar might want to discontinue the content support for GTA Online until the Red Dead sequel is launched.

This is plausible if the online "Read Dead Redemption 2" is developed much like the "Grand Theft Auto" online.
