GTA 6 Online: What to Expect
GTA 6 is set to introduce an entirely new version of GTA Online, built from the ground up for the world of Leonida and beyond. Unlike the current GTA Online experience, players will likely start fresh, with no transfer of characters, properties, or money from GTA V. This clean slate aims to fix issues like inflated in-game economies and overpowered content, offering a more balanced and immersive multiplayer experience.
There are strong rumors of built-in roleplay tools, potentially inspired by Rockstar’s acquisition of FiveM, signaling a deeper focus on community-driven gameplay. While progress won’t carry over, returning players might receive loyalty rewards like exclusive outfits or early in-game bonuses.
Although Rockstar hasn’t officially revealed all the details, early signs suggest GTA 6 Online will be a refined, next-gen evolution of its predecessor—with structured progression, expanded systems, and an emphasis on long-term engagement.
