What will happen to GTA online with release of GTA 6?

GTA Online is one of the biggest MMO titles since its release, clocking in millions of players each month. However, the announcement for GTA 6 has left everyone in confusion regarding the future of GTA Online. Will there be a new GTA Online, or will Rockstar Games revamp the existing one? Let’s check out all the possibilities.

The release for GTA Online wasn’t exactly grand, but over the years, the game shaped into a beloved experience for gamers. Players can take part in heists, create their city and own things virtually or role-play alongside other players in the server, basically living a virtual life.

As of now, there are only three things that could happen

1. Ditch GTA 5 Online and shift the players to GTA 6 Leonida.
2. Keep both servers active.
3. Follow-up update to current GTA Online to shift everything.

Fans believe that players will be getting a full reboot with nothing carrying over. This is because keeping the server active for both games will result in a split between the player base. Shifting everyone to a new version is also a feasible choice but will still leave some fans disappointed if the new game does now live up to the hype.

However, multiple leaks suggest that GTA Online will see a complete redo, with every player having to start all over again. This is because GTA 6 will be taking place in a completely different setting, including new characters and a completely new map. This will also help all players start on equal terms, as transferring progression will only gate-keep new players from GTA Online once again.

Furthermore, looking at the general vibe among GTA fans, the majority of the players want a completely new journey despite having thousands of hours in the game. Fans also hope Rockstar Games also improve upon the existing system. Regardless of which route the company choose to go, fans will surely receive an epic send-off to their favourite game with the last update.
