According to insider Fravilys (via Medium), GTA 6 Online is set to revolutionize multiplayer with massive 96-player lobbies—triple the capacity of GTA 5’s 32-player limit. The leak details “GTA6MP” (codenamed project) currently testing 64-player sessions with ambitions to reach 96 players at launch. More importantly, it promises seamless cross-session activities, allowing players to join events across different lobbies without loading screens or interrupting free roam.
Key Features from the Leak
- Player Capacity:
- Current Test Build: 64 players per session
- Target Launch: 96 players (subject to optimization)
- Seamless Integration:
- Join heists, races, or events from any lobby instantly
- No loading screens when switching activities
- Technical Leap:
- Advanced networking to handle dense player counts
- Optimized for GTA 6’s rumored “biggest map ever”
Fravilys notes: “This isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a reimagining of multiplayer freedom.”
Why This Matters
GTA 6’s expanded Vice City demands livelier crowds:
- Epic Emergent Gameplay: 96 players could enable city-wide battles or cooperative mega-events
- Dynamic World: NPCs + players create unprecedented chaos
- No More Session-Jumping: Say goodbye to frustrating matchmaking loads
However, concerns linger about griefing and performance stability.
Fan Reactions: Hope vs. Skepticism
- Optimists: “Finally! Los Santos felt empty with just 32 players.”
- Realists: “Will servers handle this? GTA Online still lags sometimes.”
- Cautious: “Until Rockstar confirms, treat this as a dream.”
Leaker credibility note: Fravilys has a mixed track record—verify details with official sources.
