GTA 6 PS5 Data Hints at Multiplayer Support
Leaked store data is a useful reminder of how much the platform layer reveals about upcoming releases. PlayStation Game Size, an X account that pulls data from the PlayStation Store backend, found three multiplayer-related entries tied to GTA 6 on PS5: "joinSession," "launchActivity" and "launchMultiplayerActivity." The same account earlier pegged the download at 210 GB before Rockstar confirmed up to 212 GB, which gives its backend data a decent track record. Still, the entries appear to be standard PS5 system hooks for jumping players into an activity or a friend's session, not evidence of playable online content. Rockstar still describes GTA 6 as single-player and has not announced an online mode. For developers, publishers and anyone tracking platform strategy, the lesson is to read backend signals carefully: they show what a console is prepared to support, not necessarily what will ship.
