According to a Rockstar Games insider, Grand Theft Auto 6's online component won't have dedicated servers, which means players could experience some login and connection issues caused by the absence of this hosting option. Rumors of the next iteration of Grand Theft Auto have been circulating for quite some time, giving players a brief idea of what to expect from the game. Lastly, the massive leak for Grand Theft Auto 6 revealed some tidbits about the game, including its location, gameplay, and characters.
It's no doubt that Grand Theft Auto 6 is one of the most hyped games of its generation, with fans waiting for the game to be released as early as possible. Back in February last year, Rockstar Games confirmed as part of the GTA Online community update that it's currently working on the next entry in the iconic series. Afterward, Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick promised that Rockstar Games will once again set creative benchmarks for the series with the development of Grand Theft Auto 6.
A Rockstar Games insider who goes by Tez2 on the GTA forums has provided some news about Grand Theft Auto 6's online component, claiming that it won't have its own dedicated servers. Unfortunately, this means players could keep encountering login and connection issues like those in the current version of GTA Online. According to Tez2, Take-Two Interactive considered these servers to be cost-prohibitive. Although the insider has a proven track record, fans should take this leak with a pinch of salt until official confirmation arrives.
GTA Online allows players to create unique characters and build friendships with people from all over the world. There are hundreds of GTA Online servers to choose from, each with its own set of strict rules that provide a healthier gaming experience. Apart from casual online servers, some players launched GTA Online RP servers to become more immersed in the game by role-playing with a new personality and backstory. Despite all the fun it provides, players have been experiencing connection issues in GTA Online that prevent them from joining some of the most popular RP servers.
Another prominent rumor about Grand Theft Auto 6 is that it will take players back to Vice City , the same location as Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, which was released in 2002 . It has also been leaked that Grand Theft Auto 6 will feature two protagonists, Jason and Lucia, but aside from what people saw in the massive 2022 leaks, not much is known about the upcoming game. Fans should keep their eyes peeled as Rockstar Games will hopefully reveal new tidbits about the next entry in the series in the near future.
Grand Theft Auto 6 is currently in development.
