GTA 6 online mode appears to receive Rockstar’s first public acknowledgment, via mention of in-development “32 player format” in legal docs
Rockstar Games has made its first public acknowledgment of Grand Theft Auto 6’s planned online multiplayer mode through legal documents filed as part of an ongoing court battle. The revelation came in filings related to litigation over the termination of 34 developers last year, where Rockstar disclosed that staff were discussing an in-development “32 player format” for the game’s online component on a union-run Discord server.
Until now, Rockstar had remained silent about multiplayer plans for GTA 6, which is set to launch on consoles in November. The leaked information from court documents provides the first official confirmation that the company is actively developing an online mode, though details remain limited. The 32-player format suggests a more focused multiplayer experience compared to potential alternatives, though specifics about gameplay, progression systems, or launch timing remain undisclosed.
The disclosure emerged as the legal dispute between Rockstar Games, parent company Take-Two Interactive, and the terminated developers enters its final trial phase. The company’s legal team referenced internal Discord discussions as part of their case, inadvertently revealing development details that had previously been kept under wraps. This represents a significant development for fans awaiting information about GTA 6’s post-launch multiplayer offerings, which typically serve as a major component of Rockstar’s revenue model through ongoing content updates and monetization.
