Grand Theft Auto VI appears to support multiplayer activities on PlayStation 5, according to new backend data shared by PlayStation Size. However, the account cautions that online multiplayer might not be available when the game launches on November 19, 2026, and could instead arrive at a later date.
PlayStation Size, which tracks information from Sony’s backend, identified three activity intents associated with GTA VI: joinSession, launchActivity, and launchMultiplayerActivity. These functions suggest the game supports PlayStation’s activity system, which allows players to launch specific content directly from the PS5 home screen.
While the data points to multiplayer functionality, it doesn’t confirm whether online play will be accessible on launch day. Rockstar Games has yet to announce its plans for GTA VI multiplayer or clarify whether an online component will be included at release.
The same account also shared updated information about the game’s storage requirements. According to the tracker, the worldwide PS5 version currently has a package size of 223.088GB, while the New Zealand and Australia version was initially listed at 223.080GB.
PlayStation Game Size noted that the package size may differ from the final download size. The game is currently listed as version 01.001.004, with all Extra Packs reportedly distributed as licenses rather than additional downloadable content. Each of these packs is listed at just 1MB.
Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled to launch on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The game takes place in Leonida, a fictional state featuring a modern version of Vice City and its surrounding areas. Players will follow two protagonists, Lucia and Jason, as the series returns to its Miami-inspired setting for the first time since 2006.
Meanwhile, GTA Online continues to receive regular patches, seasonal events, and content updates, although Rockstar has shifted its development focus toward the upcoming game.
