New leak for GTA 6's online mode

A clue has emerged regarding the release time of Rockstar's GTA 6 Online mode. The game launches next week, on November 19, with a single-player story mode. However, the multiplayer mode has not been available from day one, and the clue came from a documentary video, not an official announcement.

Bloomberg Originals has released a new video titled "Why GTA 6 Took 13 Years and $1 Billion to Make". The video features Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier and other reporters. The content mainly describes the long development process of the game.

The narrator makes a sentence about the multiplayer mode that should be listened to carefully: "The game released in 2026 is not even its final version. The real long-term engine comes with the multiplayer mode a year later."

This sentence means that GTA 6 Online could be released in late 2027, approximately a year after the main game. However, this is not a history shared by Rockstar. Just a statement in the video.

Jason Schreier wrote in August that Take-Two and Rockstar did not plan to share details about the new GTA Online any time soon. He later made a statement: Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick had not specifically discussed when the multiplayer mode would be released.

There is no clear word on the date from the company's side. It is not clear whether the sentence in the video comes from a known detail or is the narrator's own guess.

Rockstar and Take-Two have not confirmed this release time. The narrator may have accidentally let slip an unannounced detail. Or he may have expressed his own assumption about the future of multiplayer.
