What to expect in GTA 6 Online
Rockstar has not detailed the online mode, so each topic below is labeled by how likely it is, based on GTA Online. We only cover legitimate play, never cheats, glitches or modded money.
Likely Character creation
GTA Online let you build and customize an online character. GTA 6 Online is widely expected to do the same, likely with deeper appearance and style options, though Rockstar has not detailed the creator.
Likely Making money the legitimate way
Expect jobs, heists, businesses and live events to earn in-game cash, as in GTA Online. We only cover legitimate play. We never cover cheats, glitches or modded-money methods, which get accounts banned.
Likely Businesses and property
GTA Online built its economy on owned businesses and properties that generate income. A similar system is expected for GTA 6 Online, but the specifics are unconfirmed.
Likely Vehicles and garages
Buying, storing and customizing vehicles in a garage is a core online loop, expected to return. Specific cars, prices and upgrade systems are not confirmed.
Likely Crews and playing with friends
Crews, friends and co-op drove GTA Online for years. Expect crew or club features in GTA 6 Online, though Rockstar has not detailed lobbies, crew sizes or social systems.
Unverified Crossplay between consoles
Crossplay between PS5 and Xbox is widely hoped for but unconfirmed. Rockstar has not detailed online platform support.
