GTA 6 gameplay speculation completely divides fans on social media

Speculation about what to expect from GTA 6's gameplay is completely dividing fans on social media.

In the GTA 6 Subreddit, Redditor Karmacop5908 reposted a Tweet from @WaterMuseum_ that said: "I worry that GTA 6 will graphically / technically look 20 years ahead of everything else but still just play like a GTA 5.3."

Karmacop5908 added "my thoughts exactly" and others have been commenting with their takes.

JCDisciple777 said: "Did you like how RDR2 played? If so, you'll probably really enjoy GTA 6. If not, well... I'm talking about how it feels for movement and parts of gameplay. Yes, the gameplay loop will be different. But the feeling of moving the characters, certain core mechanics such as greet / antagonize (already confirmed to be present in some form) and things like that will certainly be similar."

No-Arm-4522 said: "They already were ahead in graphics with RDR2 back in 2018. People actually think all this time was spent on just graphics? It was likely mostly on AI, the activities you can do in the game, complex gameplay systems and the huge map. It looks like you are complaining that at the end of the day, the game you will play will be GTA. What kinda gameplay did you expect? If you didn't like GTA 5 you wont like this game."

DetColePhelps11k said: "GTA 5 in single player felt a mile wide and an inch deep. Really beautiful and distinct districts and areas but little to explore and very little to do after the campaign was over. Plus a ton of dead mountain space that only existed to segment the map and increase the sense of scale for players. I hope GTA 6 plays more like RDR2 with more in-depth features and more things to visit."

GTA 6 online mode splits opinion on social media

Speculation about what could be included in GTA 6's expected online mode is splitting opinion on social media.

GTA Online launched a couple of weeks after GTA 5 and has gone on to be a resounding success for Rockstar Games. It's expected GTA 6 will have its own online mode.

But what this could look like has split fans in the GTA 6 Subreddit.

Redditor Sharp_Elderberry_704 reposted a X / Twitter post from content creator Yangy that said: "My biggest fear is honestly that for the new version of GTA Online - instead of an open world crime sandbox with various criminal activities, stories, and jobs - Rockstar tries to chase the Fortnite / Roblox / FiveM bag by making it a litany of user-generated servers and content focused on mini games or RP or whatever. I don't want another Roblox slopfest, I want GTA with friends."

And others have been commenting with their takes.

TyLion8 said: "GTA Online needs a revamp..."

turtles1236 said: "With how much they make from GTA Online do you really think they're gonna change what makes them rich?"

MadHanini said: "My fear is GTA Online too but again on Rockstar only focusing on this and with those shark cards. It's so sad that we'll probably won't have another GTA build from 0, I totally believe Rockstar's goal is to make like Fortnite, Roblox, Minecraft, only updating forever."

MuddySasquatch said: "Tie the world together in a cohesive way with RP and let moments happen naturally, that would pull me in far more than what they've been doing with GTA Online."

Oceanz08 said: "So basically he's like 'I want GTA Online to be the exact way it was in GTA 5'. This is why it's good to not listen to random people on Twitter."

GTA 6 online mode details have not yet been officially confirmed.
