With GTA 6 set to become the biggest open-world game of all time, players are asking one big question:


Will GTA 6 support crossplay between PlayStation, Xbox, and PC?


Let’s break down what we know, what Rockstar has said (or hasn’t), and what’s realistically possible.


Short Answer:


As of now, Rockstar has not confirmed whether GTA 6 will support crossplay. While crossplay is becoming more common in multiplayer games, Rockstar has never implemented it in any Grand Theft Auto title — including GTA Online — so it’s still uncertain whether GTA 6 will change that.


Will GTA 6 be crossplay? Rockstar hasn’t confirmed it, but here’s what we know — and why cross-platform multiplayer might finally be coming to Grand Theft Auto.

What Is Crossplay (and Why Do Players Want It)?


Crossplay means players across different platforms — like PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC — can play together in the same online world.


This is a huge deal for GTA fans, especially with:


Friends using different consoles


Streamers and content creators wanting broader lobbies


The growing demand for shared gaming ecosystems




In 2025 and beyond, crossplay is the standard — not the exception.


Has Rockstar Ever Done Crossplay Before?


Nope. Not once.


Despite GTA Online’s massive success, Rockstar never added cross-platform multiplayer between PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. Even Red Dead Online doesn’t support it.


Some speculate this is due to:


Different update schedules across platforms


Rockstar's desire for tight control over multiplayer balance


Concerns about modding and cheating (especially on PC)


So if you’re expecting full crossplay in GTA 6 just because it’s the norm elsewhere… temper your expectations a bit.


Real Talk: My Take on GTA 6 and Crossplay


If you’d asked me five years ago, I’d say “no chance.”

But now? I think we’ve got a shot.


Here’s why:


Pressure is on Rockstar to modernize — they can’t just remake GTA V with better graphics


Games like Fortnite, Warzone, Apex, and even Minecraft have raised the bar


Crossplay makes the online world feel alive, and that’s crucial for long-term engagement


If Rockstar wants GTA 6 Online to last another 10 years, they’ll need to meet players where they are: on every platform, connected.


So will it launch with crossplay? Maybe not.

But I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s added within the first year — especially as GTA 6 Online expands.


Will Crossplay Include PC?


Here’s the tricky part…


Crossplay with PC is always the most complicated — mainly because:


Mods and hacks can ruin balance


Console players fear unfair matchmaking


Rockstar is already super cautious about cheating


If GTA 6 does support crossplay, it might look like this:


PS5 ↔ Xbox Series X|S = ✅ Likely


Consoles ↔ PC = 🤔 Maybe… but probably limited or opt-in


Final Answer: Will GTA 6 Be Crossplay?


Not confirmed — but highly possible.

Rockstar hasn’t said yes or no. But the pressure from the gaming community, evolving tech, and modern standards makes it likely GTA 6 will eventually support some level of cross-platform play.


And if they’re smart (which they are), they’ll make it happen.


Talk Soon,


Tom B.
