GTA 6 Preloading Officially Goes Live, Revealing Files That Tease Multiplayer

Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) preloading officially began in New Zealand, releasing the game's files to the public. Despite the files being encrypted, enthusiasts have uncovered intriguing details about the upcoming blockbuster. The 200+ GB of data includes references to features like joinSession, launchActivity, and launchMultiplayerActivity, sparking speculation about the game's multiplayer component.

While Rockstar has not yet confirmed multiplayer for GTA 6, the preloaded files strongly hint that it will be included. The game's story and multiplayer elements are reportedly separate, allowing players to download only the desired components. Additionally, the preload files reveal that GTA 6 will support 120Hz and multi-frame technologies on the PS5 Pro, although Rockstar and Sony have provided no official confirmation. GTA 6 is set to launch on November 19, 2027, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
