Grand Theft Auto 6is planned to launch later this year, and there are still plenty of questions that developer Rockstar has yet to answer. With only one trailer revealed, the cinematic sneak peek atGTA 6brought record-breaking views to YouTube, with many eager to find out more about the game’s planned story. There are many questions floating about, but one of the biggest ones is whetherGTA 6will feature its own online component or not.
GTA Onlinelaunched a few weeks afterGTA 5, and it has continued to have a massive following. The multiplayer mode’s freedom allows players to roleplay and wreak havoc outside the base story ofGTA 5, and there areexpectations forGTA 6to feature its own counterpart. This feels highly likely, and if it comes to fruition, one of the most exciting aspects is that any improved role-playing features are bound to directly affect the nextRed Dead Redemption.
Features Included in GTA 6 and Its Online Mode Set the Stage For What to Expect From RDR3
There has been a back-and-forth betweenRed Dead RedemptionandGTAwhen it comes to expected mechanics and immersion features. For example, a long-running theory among many Rockstar fans has been that the short Guarma level ofRDR2was used as a testing ground forGTA 6because of its seemingly random place in the story. The tropical setting of Guarma would indeed be a fitting way to practice crafting a more lifelike version of Vice City and the Florida-inspired state of Leonida, but this still has never been officially confirmed. However, improvements and changes made to each Rockstar game have quickly become ways for players to predict what may be the new standard for future Rockstar titles, andGTA 6is likely to continue this tradition.
Whatever fresh role-playing featuresGTA 6and its online version bring forth are bound to be the starting point forRDR3and its online companion, if there ever is one. A new online version ofRed Dead Redemptionmay be less likely thanGTA 6having one, but regardless,a potentialRDR3will almost certainly carry over anything that makesGTA 6’s immersion even greater than its predecessors.
GTA 6’s first, and currently only, trailer was released on Jun 04, 2025, after it leaked online a day early.
Everything Confirmed About GTA 6
In the coming months, there will likely be word from Rockstar about whetherGTA 6will feature an online mode or not, but it would be surprising if it’s the latter.GTA 5’s introduction of online gameplay boasted strong role-playing, and this level of immersion iswhat madeRDR2such a joy to playfor a lot of gamers.
It remains to be seen howGTA 6plans to one-upRDR2’s realism, but the expectations are high. Likewise, whatever role-playing upgradesGTA 6brings to players will only increase the expectations forRDR3, but it could also pave the way for plenty of innovations.
As of now, it’s unclear ifGTA 6will come to PC this year.
The Excitement For GTA 6 Has Reached Its Apex

Fresh news could arrive any day, and that makes the anxiety and excitement that much more palpable. 2025’s release schedule is both daunting and thrilling, andGTA 6is at the top of a lot of lists of the most anticipated games. Asfans continue to craft theories aboutGTA 6, only time will tell when Rockstar reveals more.
