After the confirmation of GTA 6 release, one of the most asked questions among the fans is Will GTA 6 Be Cross-Platform?

With GTA 6 confirmed for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, many gamers are wondering if Rockstar Games will finally allow players on different platforms to play together.

The Grand Theft Auto franchise has never been crossplay-friendly. In fact, GTA 5 does not allow cross-play between Xbox, PlayStation, and PC systems even a decade after its launch.

This limitation even extends to the newer enhanced versions of the game.

For instance, players on PS4/Xbox One can’t play with those on the PS5/Xbox Series X or S.

While these next-gen consoles do come with improved features like faster cars, better rendering, and smoother controls, Rockstar has stuck to separating players based on their hardware.

So many fans are speculating, will Rockstar Games break their history and add Cross-Platform or Crossplay functionality with their next GTA Game.

Is GTA 6 Cross-Platform or Crossplay Confirmed?

No, as of now, Rockstar Game hasn’t officially confirmed any GTA 6 Cross-Platform or Crossplay functionality, which would allow users on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S to play together.

Crossplay functionality has been one of the most demanding features among the fans, but Rockstar didn’t introduce Crossplay features to any of their games.

Many fans hope to get the Crossplay feature in the next GTA game.

But as of now, Rockstar Game has not commented on crossplay whatsoever and has, therefore, not officially confirmed or denied the feature.

Will GTA 6 have crossplay?

Crossplay has never been a thing in Rockstar history. So many players are curious whether GTA 6 will create new a history by allowing Cross Platform feature.

Unfortunately, Rockstar Games hasn’t revealed much about GTA 6 Crossplay yet, and looking at their history, it doesn’t seem very likely.

Both GTA Online and Red Dead Redemption 2 Online, never added crossplay even after the decade of their launch.

This means players on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC were always restricted to playing with others on the same platform.

So far, Rockstar hasn’t hinted that GTA 6 will break this trend.

Still, there’s a small chance Rockstar might change the trend for GTA 6 and allow players to play GTA 6 with their friends on different platforms.

However, Rockstar may avoid adding it due to challenges like managing cheaters, especially on PC. Ensuring a fair experience for players across platforms might be difficult.

Currently, no reliable leaks or rumors suggest crossplay will be available in GTA 6.

Until Rockstar officially announces crossplay feature, it is better to assume that crossplay will not be present.

Why Crossplay in GTA 6 Is Unlikely?

As mentioned above, GTA 5 does not have crossplay even a decade on from its initial release in 2013. This has led many players to believe that GTA 6 will also launch without the ability to play cross-platform.

Crossplay in GTA Online has been one of the most common fan requests within the game’s community. Despite this fact, Rockstar has been unwilling (or possibly unable) to add the feature to GTA 5’s online mode.

What’s more, Red Dead Redemption 2’s online mode also doesn’t have crossplay compatibility.

One possible reason is the wide range of GTA 5 versions over the years. The game originally launched on PS3 and Xbox 360, later moved to PS4 and Xbox One and eventually came to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Supporting crossplay across so many platforms could have been technically challenging.

Because of this, it may have been more difficult to get crossplay working. However, Red Dead Redemption 2 only launched on PS4/Xbox One, and it still lacks the feature.

It could be that Rockstar Games will listen to player demand and implement crossplay with GTA 6. But judging by their track record, it’s better to stay cautious and not expect too much.

Conclusion

As of now, GTA 6 crossplay feature is not officially confirmed. Rockstar’s history with GTA Online and Red Dead Redemption 2 Online suggests that this feature may not be included.

While fans hope for a change, challenges like cheating, technical limitations, and Rockstar’s silence on the topic make crossplay unlikely.

Until Rockstar provides an official update, the safest assumption is that GTA 6 will not include crossplay at launch.

Players will need to stick to playing with others on the same platform, just as they have in previous GTA Games.
