While Rockstar Games has yet to announce the successor to GTA 5 Online, during the GTA 6 leaks of September 2022, there was a short clip that showed a new multiplayer mode under development. This could possibly be the Grand Theft Auto 6 multiplayer version.

Considering the success of Grand Theft Auto 5 Online, we expect the developer to continue multiplayer services in the future. However, only time will tell when Rockstar Games decides to announce this feature.

2) 60 FPS gameplay could be possible

After seeing the visuals of the upcoming installation, the Grand Theft Auto community remains doubtful about the game’s framerate. However, a leaker recently stated that GTA 6 could run at 60 FPS on the PS5 Pro. They disclosed various details about the title's ongoing development, including a potential GTA 6 and PlayStation marketing deal.

If the leaked details are true, PlayStation 5 Pro users could experience the forthcoming game at a smoother framerate. However, this possibility should be taken with a pinch of salt for the time being.

3) References to Michael De Santa

Rockstar Games seemingly included two Easter eggs referring to Michael De Santa in GTA 6. The first one can be spotted outside Jason Duval’s house, where the parked boat looks very similar to Michael’s stolen boat from Grand Theft Auto 5. The second is available at the official website for the title, as seen in the clip where Jason pulls out a gun.

On the shelf behind him, you can see a DVD box that has a cover similar to the Meltdown movie. Michael De Santa was the associate producer of it in the 2013 title. While details are vague at the moment, we should be able to see it after the game’s release.

• Off-road races and stunts
• Kayaking

While there could be more activities in the final version, we expect the ones listed above to be available for both the new protagonists.
