Grand Theft Auto 6 has become a giant mystery looming over the industry. Rockstar’s beloved crime-fueled franchise hasn’t offered a new chapter in over a decade, making the excitement for GTA 6 that much more palpable. Right now, Rockstar has only revealed a single trailer. That was at the tail end of 2023, and with zero updates since then, a lot of gamers are growing restless.
As it stands, there is no clear window for the next GTA 6 update. It could truly arrive any day at this point, and many are hoping for an extensive look at what the game has to offer. On top of the questions surrounding GTA 6, there are hopes that the game will feature its own online counterpart. An online version has yet to be confirmed, but it would be surprising if it was excluded, considering how popular GTA Online has been since GTA 5 launched. Rockstar’s next move is uncertain, but the next look at GTA 6 may benefit the most from showcasing its expected online version.

While many fans have played through the main story of GTA 5, continuing the adventure with GTA Online has helped this era of the franchise thrive. GTA Online has been one of Rockstar’s biggest successes yet, so it would be a huge shock if the developer wasn’t planning on capitalizing on that success with a GTA 6 counterpart. For those who are particularly fond of Los Santos and the greater fictional state of San Andreas, GTA 5 is bound to continue drawing in players. However, GTA 6‘s return to Vice City and updated graphics is promising a fresh online experience.

A lot of GTA fans have been waiting for the return of Vice City for a long time now, and it would likely be a bad move on Rockstar’s part to sidestep using this setting to its full potential. Because of its mysterious nature, rumors about GTA 6 have been rampant for years. One of the most recent rumors is that GTA 6 could be experimenting with its own metaverse, which points to an even more immersive online world.
Of course, this hasn’t been confirmed by Rockstar, but if true, it could mean GTA 6 is gearing up to be one of the biggest online worlds in gaming. Between theories about the main story and claims surrounding metaverse potential, Rockstar may have no choice but to finally pull the trigger on revealing GTA 6‘s online version.

As the year continues, the tension is simply going to build, and whatever Rockstar chooses to reveal about GTA 6 next is destined to make waves. Theories about GTA 6 continue to pile up, and until Rockstar showcases brand-new footage, the speculation will continue.
