Look, let's be honest, it turns out that Rockstar Games' upcoming 'GTA 6', slated for release this November, will support up to 32 players in its online mode, a fact first confirmed through legal documents.

This juicy bit of intel was unearthed in court filings submitted by Rockstar Games last year regarding a developer dismissal. According to documents submitted by Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive in the related lawsuit, dismissed employees were chatting on a union-run Discord server about 'online 32-player formats, which were strictly top-secret at the time.'

Rockstar Games has expertly dodged any official comments regarding multiplayer plans until now, but this legal scuffle has spilled some beans. A 32-player session cap feels pretty similar to the currently running GTA Online. That being said, back when GTA Online first launched on the PS3 and Xbox 360, it only supported up to 16 players before expanding later on. Therefore, there is definitely a cheeky possibility that the concurrent player numbers for the GTA 6 multiplayer mode could increase down the line.

Meanwhile, Rockstar Studios Director Jennifer Kolb noted in testimony that sharing confidential details like player counts for unreleased projects among team members was "deeply concerning." Just a few months prior, Rockstar Games suffered major leaks regarding 'GTA 6' design decisions and main character names, which totally threw a spanner in the marketing works. Given that precedent, this internal info sharing only piles onto Rockstar Games' ongoing headache regarding keeping secrets safe.
