GTA Online VI: everything that's changing from GTA 5

Shared progression, co-op story mode, new businesses. Rockstar is rebuilding online multiplayer from the ground up.

A Complete Multiplayer Overhaul

GTA Online generated billions for Rockstar since 2013. GTA Online VI is set to be even more ambitious.

Shared Solo/Online Progression

Unlike GTA 5 where modes were compartmentalized, GTA VI introduces shared progression — money, properties and certain items carry over between story mode and Online. A long-standing community request finally addressed.

Co-op Story Mode

Credible leaks suggest the main story can be played co-op with 2 players — Jason and Lucia, each controlled by a different person. Not officially confirmed, but multiple anonymous developers have mentioned it.

New Online Businesses

  • Everglades drug trafficking: transport and territory defense missions
  • Casino heists: revamped version of GTA 5's Heists
  • Maritime smuggling: boat and submarine missions
  • Real estate: buy and manage properties as passive income

Better Griefer Protection

Rockstar has promised better separation between aggressive and passive players. Improved private sessions and a reputation system that isolates griefers are reportedly in development.
