GTA On-line in GTA 6? What we all know to date
There was no affirmation if multiplayer or GTA On-line will proceed in GTA 6.
However provided that GTA 5 is reported to have made Rockstar $8billion because it launched in 2013, together with $500m from GTA On-line alone in the newest full monetary 12 months for Take-Two, which owns Rockstar, it appears extremely seemingly that there will likely be a type of multiplayer within the 2025 launch.
GTA On-line didn’t launch when GTA 5 got here out – it got here out a few weeks afterwards.
It launched to blended evaluations initially however developer Rockstar saved supporting it with new heists, vehicles and different upgrades and it continued to enhance and construct an enormous participant base.
The newest replace got here simply this month with the Cluckin Bell Farm Raid.
Relying on how far alongside improvement is, or if Rockstar encourages avid gamers to play by the marketing campaign earlier than exploring something on-line, an analogous factor might occur right here the place a web based mode comes out later.
Having mentioned that, it might launch as an entire prepared bundle and provides gamers full freedom of how they wish to expertise GTA 6 – it has been 11 years now for the reason that final new entry within the sequence in any case.
There appear to be three completely different prospects of how multiplayer might be included in GTA 6.
One possibility, which appears to be essentially the most lifelike, is that GTA 6 will convey its personal new model of GTA On-line with the Leonida map, whether or not it might be known as GTA 6 On-line or GTA On-line 2, with assist nonetheless persevering with for GTA 5 and GTA On-line individually and probably being wound down in time.
It might be the case that GTA On-line because it’s identified now might be included in GTA 6 and accessed as a separate entity, with progress staying separate, like inside Halo: The Grasp Chief Assortment.
On the flip facet, it might be the case {that a} new model of GTA On-line is launched with GTA 6 and assist fully stops for GTA On-line and GTA 5 immediately – however given the participant base and the cash it is nonetheless making, this appears unlikely.
An alternative choice is for the present GTA On-line map of Los Santos to one way or the other be included or accessed from the state of GTA 6’s Leonida, the place character progress could be carried over – a bit like the way it works in The Elder Scrolls sequence.
However given Los Santos is on the west coast and Leonida is on the east, working this in feasibly might show tough.
May there even be a web based co-op mode for the marketing campaign, provided that there are two primary protagonists?
This may rely on how characters are managed within the marketing campaign – regardless of there being three completely different primary characters in GTA 5, there isn’t a on-line co-op mode.
These are all simply theories, with nothing but confirmed by Rockstar.
Could players be punished for cheating?

Jason and Lucia are way younger and it seems they’ll have a healthier relationship when compared to Michael, so it wouldn’t make sense for them to cheat on each other on the honeymoon phase.”
Dizzy_Efficiency_908 said: “Maybe it will be similar to how in GTA 5, whenever we follow another one of the protagonists too much, they will knock us out; maybe if we go pick up a prostitute as Jason, if we then meet Lucia, she will knock us out.”
cameron3611 said: “It would be funny if after cheating you get a cutscene of the other partner yelling at you. Or maybe make it into a sidequest like how Fable 2 will have a secret blackmailer force you to pay or kill him if you cheat on your spouse.”
luisBanks said: “I’m actually curious how it would work for Lucia. It isn’t normal to see male street workers working the corners so like how would they go about having Lucia meet other men. It would have to be a relationship system like GTA 4’s where after a couple dates with an NPC then you could have sex with them.”

The comments got a lot of people talking on the social media platform.
Pir-o said: “I think the game will start from small store robberies in the countryside and later they will move to VC. But I disagree that it should be literally the LAST place you can explore. That would take too much time and most people would explore it on their own anyway.”
tonybinky20 said: “Considering how dense cities are in Rockstar games, combined with the fact that a modern city is much larger than one in 1899, the city should be introduced fairly early. It’s still an interesting idea to have the first few hours of gameplay in the countryside though.”

Trailer 2 ‘could be close’
A post on Reddit questioning if the second trailer for GTA 6 ‘could be close’ is getting people talking.
Several-Sense-270 has posted a screenshot of the Rockstar Games website, where the first trailer has been added to a section in the videos tab called Videos from Grand Theft Auto VI.
At the moment, there is just the one trailer there, but ‘videos’ suggests there should be multiple.
This has led to Several-Sense-270 asking ‘could this probably mean Trailer 2 is close?’
Several users have commented ‘I was here’ in the hope to get a banner on the GTA 6 Subreddit if it is indeed the case, such as ‘I was here, I expect my rightful second trailer day OG flair shortly’.
But others are more skeptical.
Naphor said: “I don’t think this necessarily means anything but it does show that they aren’t completely leaving the marketing to rot before the release of the second trailer.”
Immediate-Ear-6568 said: “I don’t mean to be that guy, but I don’t think it’s coming anytime soon. I just think they’re preparing for when it does eventually come out. It wouldn’t surprise me if it was another 3-6 months away. However, I do pray that I’m wrong.”
Famous DJ in trailer?
Is that TOKiMONSTA performing in the GTA 6 trailer?
Rockstar Games
Famous DJ TOKiMONSTA might be the one featured in the GTA 6 trailer, according to a Reddit user.
TOKiMONSTA, whose real name is Jennifer Lee, is an American dance / electronic music producer and DJ, having worked with the likes of Anderson Paak and ZHU.
She worked with Lost Souls of Saturn, a duo made up of Seth Troxler and Phil Moffa, on the track Revisions of the Past, which is the lead track of CircoLoco Records’ debut launch, a compilation of original tracks from a number of underground dance music artists.
CircoLoco Records is a record label that Rockstar Games launched in 2021 with renowned Ibiza nightclub DC10.
And a Reddit user thinks she’s the DJ that’s seen in the trailer.
In a post, TurboLightGamer69 said: “There are two moon phases in the left and the right side of the stage.
“These phases are also seen as icons on her Instagram stories.
“And she is also a DJ featured on CircoLoco, with one of her songs being present in GTA Online (on the Black EP and the CLR Launch Party (Seth Troxler) mix).
“The club itself may be a possible parody of Club Space in Miami.”
Comments include ‘Good eye. That looks pretty spot on. Nuts that we’re still catching details this long after the trailer’s dropped’, ‘looks like her’ and ‘big fan of her music, I’ll be super hyped if this is the case!’
‘We’re seeing a lot of GTA 6 with past few updates’
A Reddit user thinks a lot of updates that have been coming to GTA Online will feature in GTA 6.
The most recent update to GTA Online from Rockstar has been the Cluckin Bell Farm Raid.
It’s a story mission where gamers ‘take on corrupt LSPD cops and a dangerous new cartel’.
A post on the social media site says this update has ‘a feature that we might see in GTA 6’ of how an approach to its penultimate mission dictates how the final one is approached.
The original poster, Notice360, says: “We might end up having more freedom in how we do the missions and the possibilities might end up becoming endless.”
And this has led to a number of users sharing their thoughts.
Comments on the post include ‘a lot of the newer GTA Online update missions have that kind of basic freedom in approach which gives me hope for GTA 6‘, ‘I think we’re seeing a lot of GTA 6 with these past few updates. Gameplay and obviously the car exteriors/customization’ and ‘if the last few updates represent what’s coming in GTA 6 it doesn’t bode well for me personally. Zero challenge. Especially compared to doomsday/casino/cayo.”
‘Functioning gas stations’ spotted in trailer
Could functioning gas stations be in GTA 6?
Rockstar Games
A Reddit user has spotted gas stations being used in the background of a scene in the GTA 6 trailer.
When CCTV captures footage of an alligator going into a shop, user Feltzzz__ noticed in the background just outside that two cars are stopped and there’s someone near the truck.
In the post, Feltzzz__ said: “If I’m not mistaken in GTA 5 people would park their cars right next to a pump too, but they would just walk away and stand near a grocery store or a vending machine.”
It’s led to speculation if cars that can be driven in the game can run out of fuel like in the first two games of the Mafia series.
Comments on the post include ‘RDR2 (Red Dead Redemption 2) made you feed, brush your horses, maybe we can finally run out of gas in GTA 6‘, ‘I’d like it, but as long as it’s not tedious like it it runs out too fast, etc I like that planning would have to go into travel, chases, etc’ and ‘I hope not, I’d hate to lose a car I like because I forgot to put gas in it’.
Game footage appears online
New footage of GTA 6 appears to have been leaked on X / Twitter.
User @Dead_Light69 has been posting videos of what seems to be gameplay from the new game every day for the past 63 days.
These have been taken down fairly quickly on the site, with Day 59 being the most recent one to have been blocked and all of the ones before that.
The warning on them says: “This media has been disabled in response to a report by the copyright owner.”
The most recent one, posted on March 11, appears to show gameplay of Lucia, being controlled by the player, taking out police in a shootout.
Gamer discovers GTA 6 Easter Egg in Red Dead Redemption 2
A gamer on X / Twitter has found an Easter Egg from the GTA 6 trailer in Red Dead Redemption 2.
In RDR2, a bounty can be seen for a man named Riley Portough, who is wanted dead or alive.
The description says: “Portough is wanted for the crime of systematically deceiving federal agents in his capacity as their informant.
“Now armed, fugitive and likely in company.”
There is a picture above his name too and X / Twitter user @PARADISEALI_ has noticed this same picture appears on the doors of a shop called Uncle Jack’s right at the end of the GTA 6 trailer, which main characters Lucia and Jason burst through armed with balaclavas on.
Trailer passes 180m views
The GTA 6 trailer has now passed 180m views.
When it dropped in December, it smashed a YouTube record for the most amount of views in the first 24 hours for a non-music video despite it being leaked ahead of its scheduled release.
It got 93m views in that period on YouTube alone, and has now almost double that to smash the 180m view mark.
It seems the trailer is still getting more than a million views every week.
Hope for GTA 6 ‘docks’ mission
A screenshot from the GTA 6 trailer
Rockstar Games
A Reddit user has posted a screenshot from the GTA 6 trailer in its Subreddit and hopes there will be a ‘docks’ mission in the game.
There are a number of missions that take place in dockyards across the Grand Theft Auto series and user DemiPyramid says ‘those are the best types of missions’.
The screenshot posted is of a speedboat being driven with what looks like a dockyard in the background at around 23 seconds into the trailer.
Comments include ‘the docks should be in more missions’, ‘would be cool if Lucia is stowed away in a shipping container and Jason acting as a crew member lifts the container on to the boat where later on Lucia does a stealth mission on the boat at sea trying to obtain something’ and ‘I can’t wait to use that crane’.
Will Prison Break star play lead GTA 6 role?
A Reddit user thinks one of the main characters in GTA 6 will be played by a star from the hit TV show Prison Break.
The-ThirdEye has posted images and audio clips comparing Jason from the GTA 6 trailer and Dominic Purcell’s character of Lincoln Burrows.
The user says this is their ‘best guess’ and some users agreed it could well be him.
Comments include ‘Jason looks like a younger version of him’, ‘that’s either spot on or a really good guess’ and ‘yoooo I did not see this Lincoln guess coming but i see it bro’.
Trailer frame discussion
A Reddit user has posted a screenshot from the trailer that’s got people speculating what it could mean.
It’s from very early on in the trailer, when Lucia can be seen in orange prison uniform and the still image shows what looks like a number of other prisoners out in the courtyard in the background.
It’s led to a number of comments from different users.
Tank-TOP_Master said: “Mindblowing graphics.”
v0yev0da said: “Scenes like this – feint shadows from that cross thatching, distorted image through your glass, those slight god rays in the top right corner of the window – all lead me to believe we’ll need a (PS5) Pro to fully enjoy this game at trailer-quality settings.”
Denso95, the original poster, said: “I also hope for a bit of prison time during gameplay. Being able to play her last few days in prison as some kind of intro and anticipation area, then escaping into the freedom of Vice City would be super cool.”
‘No fear’ GTA 6 will be delayed
A Reddit user says they have ‘no fear’ about any potential GTA 6 delays after another user shared an update from Rockstar’s website.
A new GTA 6 banner on the developer’s site is the promo picture for the game, showing Jason and Lucia sitting on the hood of a car.
It also includes the Grand Theft Auto logo and release year of 2025 either side.
That seemingly means the game is on track to release in the year advertised in the first trailer.
Admirable-Pirate-622 said: “They’re probably super confident about 2025 being the release year. They didn’t have to put it on there. That’s why I have no fear that if could get delayed.”
Other comments include ‘I like the font not being outlined, looks sick’ and ‘everything looks so clean’.
Theory could reveal main character ‘curveball’
A Reddit user has come up with a theory on one of the main characters featured in the GTA 6 trailer that’s got a lot of people talking.
There is a brief scene when Jason follows Lucia through a store, seemingly about to rob it together as both have balaclavas on and are walking with intent.
Reddit user _RealityBoat has come up with a ‘hot take’ that Jason might actually be the “loose cannon in this story and Lucia is the (relatively) calm level headed protagonist” – based on a quick look he gives to Lucia during this scene.

Pre-order price from third-party reseller
A third-party reseller is selling a ‘game key’ for GTA 6 for just under £80.
A ‘game key’ is basically a voucher that allows a product to be accessed digitally.
Gamivo has a listing for €92.98, or £79.18, for a pre-order for the game, although it doesn’t specify for which console.
It has a warning on it too, which says: “This is a PRE-ORDER, the key will be delivered upon the game’s release date: 2025.
“Pre-order bonuses might not be included.
“This is NOT a Steam version of the game. The GTA 6 activation CD key code should be activated on Rockstar Social Club.”
G2A had keys available for GTA 6 on Xbox Series X/S but the site says these are now out of stock.
It’s be best to wait until the game is actually made available for pre-order though, as an official release date isn’t even yet known.

“First one is the only one I’m not sure about; Trailer 1 had a pretty wild atmosphere to it.”
Skindiamondxx said: “More of the northern part of the map, since we know almost nothing about it, and more Jason.”
LoadingYourData said: “I wanna see and hear a bit more about Jason, but also I wanna see some cool explosions like we see in the GTA V trailer 2, I’m interested to see how far they’ve come.”

Different-Kinda-Kiwi said: “Considering San Andreas had a pretty good body mass/muscle/strength system I hope it makes a return, I remember spending lots of time making CJ fat then running and fighting it all off and becoming a 1 punch man.”
Nawnp said: “Keep in mind GTA 5 had gym scenes on the beach that you couldn’t interact with, but it’s more than likely they’ll bring back a mix of GTA: SA & RDR2 (Red Dead Redemption 2) mechanics to allow for gyms again in GTA 6.”
