Some regions can already pre-load GTA 6, and people have already started mining the game's data.
Data miners wasted no time in discovering potential clues about the game's features. Some have found files that reference PS5 Pro support features, which has people hopeful for a higher frame rate. However, what truly caught people's attention are clues about GTA 6's installation methods.
Here's everything we know so far.
GTA 6 To Reportedly Have Story Mode Separate From Core Game
According to data miners, GTA 6 will reportedly use a shared base installation.
This would mean that Story Mode could potentially be separate from the core game. GTA 6 Online, which is rumored to release in 2027, will likely also be separate from the main game. If true, this would mean you would need to download GTA 6 Online separately when it comes out.
If true, this would allow players to download each mode independently, allowing them to save storage space if they're only interested in playing one mode.
Additionally, dataminers have uncovered clues about GTA 6's multiplayer content. The following functions were found in the files:
- intentType”: “joinSession”
- intentType”: “launchActivity”
- intentType”: “launchMultiplayerActivity”
Multiplayer mode won't be available at launch, and Rockstar has yet to comment on when GTA 6 will be released. However, this may hint that we're getting it sooner rather than later. This would line up with Twitch CEO Dan Clancy's claim that GTA 6 Online is coming in 2027.
