New GTA 6 Database Leak - Online Functions, Exact Size, and More

Although Rockstar Games doesn’t always provide lots of information about GTA 6, which is set for release next week, various insiders and dataminers often share additional details. This time is no different, as new info about GTA 6 has been uncovered in the PlayStation Network database—including the exact game size and details about its online components.

Specifically, as discovered by PlayStation Game Size, who specializes in the PS5 ecosystem, the current release version of GTA 6 is numbered 01.001.004, with an exact size of 223 GB. This is slightly larger than the 212 GB announced by Rockstar when they revealed the start of pre-loading last week. Additionally, more details have been uncovered regarding the file structure related to the upcoming online mode. The insider mentions support for the console’s system protocols, including joinSession (quick session joining), launchActivity (starting single-player missions through the activity menu), and launchMultiplayerActivity (accessing multiplayer modes without going through the main menu). Furthermore, another well-known insider, Tez2, reported that GTA 6 features a shared base installation, where the story campaign is separated from the game core, and the multiplayer will also be separate.

Story content is separated from the core game, and VI's Online will be separated too.

As for GTA 6’s multiplayer, Rockstar has not yet made any official statements. However, recent rumors suggest that the so-called GTA 6 Online is likely to launch in 2027. It’s also possible that a PC version of the game, which has been mentioned multiple times, will be released around the same time. For now, the developers are focused on launching the game for consoles, so it’s unlikely they will share any information about multiplayer or the PC version in the near future.

Meanwhile, the main theme of GTA 6 has also surfaced, which can be heard on the PS5 home screen and likely plays during the game’s loading sequence. With the release scheduled for next week, fans are hoping Rockstar will drop a new, final trailer for this generation’s most anticipated game sometime this week.

Grand Theft Auto VI launches on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
