A GTA 6 physical game box has been 'spotted' on the shelves of a store in China.

Redditor pando_irl posted images of what appears to be a PS5 box for GTA 6. pando_irl confirmed it's not official though.

The Redditor said: "I was in a mall in China when I suddenly saw this and my heart dropped for a second haha. I asked the worker just to be sure and yes, it is just an empty promotional case. Just a few more months until we see this everywhere."

GTA 6 online mode splits opinion on social media

from GTA6

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.
