GTA 6 SERVER ARCHITECTURE
Everything we know about Grand Theft Auto VI's multiplayer infrastructure and what it means for the future of Vice City servers.
THE CURRENT INTEL
According to recent industry reports, GTA 6 Online is rumored to continue using a non-dedicated server model - an upgraded version of the current peer-to-peer (P2P) architecture used in GTA V Online.
This decision appears to be driven by cost considerations from Take-Two Interactive, despite the gaming community's demand for dedicated server infrastructure.
- Up to 96 players per session (rumored)
- Current builds running 64 players
- Seamless session transitions
- Elimination of loading screens
- Enhanced P2P networking
- Improved session stability
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR GAMERS
- Potential connection instability
- Host migration issues
- Cheating vulnerabilities
- Regional latency variations
- Community-driven servers
- Custom game modes
- Modding possibilities
- Private server hosting
THE FIVEM FACTOR
While we wait for official GTA 6 dedicated servers, alternative solutions like FiveM could potentially provide the community-driven, customizable server experience that gamers crave - though it's unclear if FiveM will be developed for GTA 6 yet.
IF FIVEM COMES TO GTA 6
- Custom roleplay servers with unique storylines
- Modded gameplay with enhanced features
- Community management tools and anti-cheat
- Stable dedicated hosting without P2P issues
THE UNCERTAINTY
- FiveM for GTA 6 is not yet confirmed
- Development timeline remains unknown
- Rockstar's acquisition suggests potential support
- Community demand is extremely high
GTA6HOST COMMITMENT
GTA6Host will be ready to support FiveM and similar alternative platforms if and when they become available for GTA 6. Whether it's official dedicated servers or community-driven solutions, our infrastructure is designed to adapt to whatever the future holds for Vice City servers.
Rockstar's acquisition of FiveM and RedM in 2023 signals a major shift in their approach to community-driven content. This could be the key to unlocking dedicated server possibilities for GTA 6.
WHAT FIVEM BRINGS:
- Custom server infrastructure
- Modding framework
- Community management tools
RELEASE TIMELINE

RUMORED RELEASE DATE
While originally suggested for release between mid-2024 and late 2025, current reports indicate GTA 6 is now on track for a May 2026 release. This gives Rockstar more time to refine the multiplayer architecture and potentially integrate dedicated server capabilities.
