Rockstar Games’ GTA 6 is already making headlines before its release. The pre-load of the game has already begun in some regions, and according to player experiences, the game requires 212 GB of free storage to run on PlayStation 5.
However, the huge file size is not the only thing catching players' attention. A closer look at the preloaded files and PlayStation's backend data has revealed possible signs of GTA 6 Online. The findings include:
intentType”: “joinSession”
intentType”: “launchActivity”
intentType”: “launchMultiplayerActivity”
The joining sessions and launching multiplayer activities clearly indicate an Online mode that Rockstar seems to be preparing along with the official game.
Another report suggests that players may be able to download Story Mode and GTA Online separately. This could help save storage space, especially after the 212GB installation. However, Rockstar has not confirmed these features or announced a release date for GTA Online.

There is an important difference between having online support and having a working multiplayer game. Backend infrastructure is the system that helps a game connect players, manage sessions, and start online activities. The three entries found in the PlayStation data suggest that Rockstar is preparing these features.
However, this does not mean GTA Online is ready to play. Developers often add such features while a game is in its development stage. These may be part of a development build or unfinished systems that need more work before launch. A playable multiplayer experience needs working servers, matchmaking, player accounts, and fully tested game features.
The latest findings have given GTA 6 fans another reason to be excited. However, backend clues should not be treated as a launch announcement. Rockstar may share more details about its online plans after the main game arrives. Until then, players should treat the multiplayer features and separate downloads as possibilities rather than confirmed features.
