Pre-loading for Rockstar Games’ upcoming blockbuster action-roleplaying game, Grand Theft Auto VI, has officially begun in some regions, allowing tech-savvy players to peruse the gargantuan 212 GB game file in an attempt to uncover potential gameplay secrets, spoilers, and other sensitive details.
Investigative players likely expected some spoilers, but a new Forbes report from Paul Tassi suggests there’s more to Grand Theft Auto VI than previously anticipated, as “items related to GTA 6 Online” have reportedly been identified within the game file.
Forbes cites a post from social media account PlayStation Game Size (@PlayStationSize), claiming backend details confirm support for online gameplay:

According to notable Rockstar Games insider-leaker TezFunz2 (via Forbes), players may also be able to download the game’s story and online modes separately, a move that bodes well for players’ hard drive space.
Despite the game’s impressive and expensive advertising campaign, which has included themed NBA collabs and collectible vinyl OST variants, Rockstar’s been relatively mum about in-game details.
The studio has released more canvas tote bags than gameplay footage. Rockstar has shared just three Grand Theft Auto VI trailers after more than a decade in development, the most recent of which was published to its official YouTube account last month.
Console players won’t be the only ones enjoying GTA VI Online, but PC players will have to wait a bit. Rockstar reportedly plans to release Grand Theft Auto VI on PC within “the first three months of 2027.”
While it feels light years away, this is the soonest Rockstar fans have gotten a PC port for any game.
