A Rockstar Games layoff case may have led to the leak of a still unknown feature of GTA VI. In October 2025, 31 employees were dismissed for “serious misconduct”but many claim that they were actually in the process of found a union internal. The investigation carried out by People Make Gameswho traveled to Edinburgh to interview some of them, sheds light on a more complex truth… and a leak that is already inflaming the community.

A multiplayer mode extended to 32 players for GTA Online 2?

Two of the former employees are accused of revealing on Discord that the future GTA Online 2expected after the release of GTA VI, would offer 32 player lobbies instead of the current 30. Technically, GTA Online already supports 30 active players and two spectators, but such an expansion, even a modest one, could signal a change in network architecture or multiplayer philosophy for the next installment. “32 is already the maximum number for GTA Online. It will most likely be increased. » — Reddit

A technical secret or a deliberate leak?

Rockstar has not commented on these revelations, but according to Bloomberg, the discussions on Discord would have mentioned this new feature. However, former employees say they were targeted not for that, but for their desire to organize employees around a nascent union movement. On Reddit, the reactions keep coming: “The PS5 will become the PS4, like an airplane turbine. » — pyeteoweb “I think the online mode will easily accommodate more than 32 players. The map will be huge, so it makes sense to increase the number of players supported. » — DatRapsFan

GTA VI will be released at the end of 2026, but details remain unclear

Rockstar has confirmed a release date for the November 19, 2026 on PS5 And Xbox Series. No date for the PC version has been revealed.
