A well-known leaker has received information about Rockstar’s plans for GTA 6 Online, and it sounds like GTA 5.

What do the plans look like? According to an unnamed source, the well-known leaker @TheGhostOfHope has revealed Rockstar’s plans for the release of GTA 6 Online. According to his post on X.com, the developers plan to take the same approach as with the release of GTA 5.

Specifically, this means that GTA 6 will initially be released only as a single-player game. According to the leaker, they want to then deliver the online mode “within a month.” The focus is supposed to initially be completely on the single-player.

What the multiplayer looks like and what features it will have remains just as unknown as the details about Rockstar’s own role-play mode, which many fans are expecting for GTA 6.

A plausible leak

How credible is the leak? The leaker @TheGhostOfHope is a well-known leaker for Call of Duty and has over 120,000 followers on X.com. For instance, he reported that a mode is supposed to be the next F2P success of Call of Duty after Warzone and that there could be a comeback in 2026. In April 2025, he talked about “silly” skins in Call of Duty and future plans regarding that.

His leaks about Call of Duty were so prominent that Activision took legal action against him. With his leak about GTA 6, he seems to be turning his attention to a new game now. In the comments on X.com, he explains that he has more information about the game, but cannot release it because it is still quite vague, and thus Rockstar Games could trace it back to the source.

The leak is accordingly quite credible. On the one hand, this type of release would focus on the long-developed single-player, while on the other hand, the developers could first concentrate on bugs before overwhelmed servers and cheaters come into play.

That this method was also chosen during the release of GTA 5 makes the leak even more credible. Despite the hints, it remains an anonymous leak that does not have to materialize.

What about the PC version? This question is also raised by a user on X.com, to which the leaker responds that he has only heard like everyone else that Rockstar wants to launch the PC version 12-18 months after the consoles. This would mean that GTA 6 Online will initially start without the PC.

If the leak turns out to be true, it would mean that Rockstar Games gives the single-player sufficient time and space for players to really exploit it, even before it serves as a playground in multiplayer.
