Will GTA 6 Have Crossplay?

As the gaming landscape evolves, one of the biggest questions surrounding the next entry in the franchise is: will GTA 6 have crossplay? While Rockstar Games has not officially confirmed cross-platform capabilities for GTA 6 or its inevitable online component, industry trends suggest it is highly likely for the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

The Current State of GTA Online

Currently, GTA 5 does not support crossplay. PlayStation players can only play with PlayStation players, and Xbox users are similarly isolated. However, crossplay has become an industry standard for massive multiplayer games like Call of Duty and Fortnite. For the next iteration of GTA Online to thrive in the modern era, breaking down console barriers is essential.

What Crossplay Means for Leonida

If GTA 6 launches with crossplay, it would unify the player base, ensuring healthier lobbies and faster matchmaking for heists, races, and roleplay servers. It would allow friends on different consoles to finally explore the State of Leonida together, forming massive cross-platform crews.

The PC Factor

While console crossplay (PS5 and Xbox) is widely expected, PC integration remains a wildcard. Due to historical issues with modding and cheating on PC servers, Rockstar might opt to keep PC players in a separate matchmaking pool, or introduce an opt-in system for console players who wish to join PC lobbies.
