GTA Online is a story-driven online multiplayer action game which is the extended version of GTA 5, initially launched on October 1, 2013, and was available for free through the main game. On March 15, 2022, a standalone version of the game was published, along with the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions of GTA V and GTA Online.
It is the sixteenth and most recent entry in the Grand Theft Auto series, as well as the series’ sixth HD Universe title. Despite being available on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation, GTA Online lacks crossplay, which means users cannot join friends on other platforms.
Owners of a PlayStation 5 can only play the game with other PS5 gamers. They cannot play with Xbox or PC gamers. Due to this exclusivity, PlayStation 4 users cannot play with PlayStation 5 gamers. Despite the fact that both platforms are practically identical and are made by the same business, Rockstar only enables gamers to communicate with their compatible systems.
Furthermore, despite the fact that the Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X were introduced on the same day, each system hosts GTA Online sessions. And PC gamers cannot play with either of the console gamers.
Will GTA 6 have crossplay?
GTA 6 is anticipated to have its online version but it’s too early to make speculations, we are still not sure if GTA Online would be integrated as a part of GTA 6 or will get an altogether newer version upon the release of GTA 6.
Rockstar Games has publicly confirmed that Grand Theft Auto 6 is in development, while specifics regarding the game and its release date remain few. While fans are awaiting one of the biggest launches of the century we can speculate a few things.
With the creators being tight-lipped about what will be featured in the game, it’s hard to say for certain whether GTA 6 will support cross-platform play. Rockstar will need to integrate crossplay in GTA 6 if it wants to compete with the latest titles on the market, as all major titles are integrating the cross-play feature and it’s high time rockstar games does it to make the game more inclusive.
