- Rockstar’s legal battle against its fired employees has led to new GTA 6 details showing up.
- The game reportedly features 32-player lobbies for its online mode.
- GTA 5 offered the same maximum player count, but it also reserved 2 slots for spectators.
GTA Online, launched in 2013, has proven to be Rockstar’s magnum opus over the years, leading to incredible longevity for GTA 5. With GTA 6 now positioned as the successor to GTA 5, expectations are high for both the game and its online component.
Many are expecting big things of GTA 6 Online, but a report suggests the game won’t be changing much, at least in terms of the number of total players per lobby.
Why it matters: A previous leak suggested the title would feature lobbies with nearly 100 players. Many were quick to believe this leak due to the popularity of modern multiplayer experiences with large player counts.
New information from Rockstar Games’ ongoing case against fired employees has revealed more details regarding GTA 6.
It is said that two of the fired employees leaked an unannounced feature regarding the game on Discord. The unannounced feature in question, of course, refers to the limit of 32 players per multiplayer session.
This player count is of particular interest since GTA 5 also features a similar limit for its multiplayer component. The game initially launched with a cap of 16 players on PS3 and Xbox 360, which was bumped up to 32 players on the PS4 and Xbox One.
However, of the 32 players, two slots are reserved for spectators in GTA 5. Technically, then, GTA 6 is set to offer a higher player limit, even if the difference is almost negligible.
These details were uncovered by People Make Games. It is said that one of the fired employees responded to a message regarding the organization of a 32-player testing session.
According to Rockstar’s legal spokesperson, this message referred to a top-secret feature regarding GTA 6, hinting at the maximum player count implemented in the game’s online mode.
