The latest GTA 6 Online rumors have left fans divided, following reports that Rockstar may sell the online mode separately from the base game.
GTA 6 Online Might Be Sold Separately
According to insider Tez2, Grand Theft Auto VI could be released in two separate editions:
- GTA VI Online Standalone Version – A dedicated multiplayer experience.
- GTA 6 Complete Edition – Includes both the single-player campaign and online mode.
Unlike GTA V, where the online component arrived two weeks after launch, GTA VI Online is rumored to be available on day one. While Rockstar has not officially confirmed this information, fans have already taken to forums like r/GamingLeaksAndRumours to share their thoughts.
Mixed Reactions From the Community
Some fans believe this move could be bad for consumers, while others see potential benefits.
Reddit user Benjammin172 expressed skepticism:
“If this is true, then there’s no chance that it’s beneficial to consumers. Seems like a weird thing to celebrate.”
Meanwhile, CarlWellGraves pointed out a potential advantage:
“As someone who hated GTA Online, it would be nice if this made the download size for the base game smaller.”
However, others were quick to criticize Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games.
User supah_saiyen shared their frustration:
“It’s Take-Two. When were they ever beneficial to consumers after GTA V’s release? They saw people buying Shark Cards and abandoned all single-player DLC. Now, they’re splitting GTA VI into two editions.”
“People will still buy GTA VI Online because of how popular and supported GTA V Online was.”
What This Could Mean for GTA 6 Players
If Tez2’s claims are accurate, GTA VI Online could launch as a separate purchase, similar to how GTA Online was later sold separately from GTA V. While this could give players more choice, some worry about higher costs and monetization strategies.
