GTA 6 Online Details Are Being Kept Extremely Secret
There are still plenty of questions surrounding GTA 6. Even as the release date draws closer, Rockstar has yet to reveal when the game’s multiplayer mode will arrive, leaving fans increasingly curious about what to expect. However, screenshots from an employee tribunal in Edinburgh have now revealed just how seriously Rockstar is taking its efforts to keep GTA 6 Online information under lock and key.
The Secrets That We Keep
Screenshots from today’s employee tribunal shed some light on the measures Rockstar has taken to keep GTA 6 and its related projects under wraps. While some of the details aren’t particularly surprising, they offer an interesting look at just how tightly Rockstar controls access to its unreleased games.
Visitors must sign an NDA, photography is prohibited, and even contractors are escorted by security. Personal devices, including phones and laptops, also cannot connect to Rockstar’s internal systems.
The filing also reveals that Rockstar has gone to considerable lengths to protect its secrets. The company reportedly has a five-person investigation team dedicated to tracking potential data breaches, with investigations dating back as far as 2022. One passage even compares protecting Rockstar’s games to Apple protecting the iPhone or Coca-Cola protecting its secret formula, stating that “guarding the secrets of the unique gameplay and design” is a major priority.
Rockstar describes its internal security culture as being comparable to Apple’s.

The filing also cites the 2025 GameRoll leak as an example of an employee breach of confidentiality.
Perhaps more interestingly, the filing states that employees discussed features for a confidential project in a private Discord server. Those discussions reportedly referenced “an online 32 player format,” which is very likely referring to GTA Online.
However, this does not confirm that GTA 6 Online will only have 32 players at launch. The wording simply shows that Rockstar was discussing a 32-player format as part of a highly confidential project at the time.
For now, it’s clear that Rockstar is going to extraordinary lengths to protect information surrounding GTA 6. And if these documents are anything to go by, fans shouldn’t expect the developer to reveal much about GTA 6 Online anytime soon.
