PlayStation Game Size, the X account that pulls data from the PlayStation Store backend, has found three multiplayer-related entries tied to GTA 6 on PS5: “joinSession,” “launchActivity,” and “launchMultiplayerActivity.” The account posted them on November 9, shortly before pre-loads started unlocking, and later shared a screenshot of the PS5 download queue where “Story” shows up as its own component. That has fans guessing that GTA 6’s online mode could arrive as a separate install down the line. The same account pegged the download at 210 GB before Rockstar confirmed up to 212 GB, so its backend data has a decent track record.
Of course, these entries don’t mean there’s a playable online mode hiding in the files. They seem to be standard PS5 system hooks that let the console’s UI jump players straight into an activity or a friend’s session, and there’s no sign of actual multiplayer content in what has been shared so far. Rockstar still describes GTA 6 as a single-player experience and hasn’t announced its online mode at all. That said, a follow-up seems to be on the way. Twitch CEO Dan Clancy said earlier this year that he expects GTA 6’s multiplayer to launch in 2027, after talking with Rockstar about its plans. Take-Two has also said the current GTA Online will keep getting support after GTA 6 releases.
