An industry veteran has suggested Grand Theft Auto Six's online component could evolve into a massively multiplayer experience. Rich Vogel, who has worked on several major online titles, stated in an interview that rumored features for the game align with typical MMORPG mechanics. He noted that while a Western publisher is unlikely to fund a traditional MMORPG currently, GTA Six's online mode might fill that role based on what he has heard.
Vogel clarified he has no direct involvement with the project, treating this as speculation. The potential evolution follows the existing trajectory of GTA Online, which already created a persistent world that surpassed its single-player story content in support. Rockstar's acquisition of the modification team behind FiveM, a popular role-playing server platform for GTA Five, strongly indicates interest in deeper, more persistent online social worlds with higher player counts.
This does not mean a conventional fantasy MMORPG structure. Instead, the next online mode will likely incorporate expanded social and role-playing elements within its established open world framework, building on the community-driven innovations proven by mods. Official details remain unconfirmed, with Rockstar expected to share more information next year.
