Reporting on data leaks, Cinemablend suggests that the game’s files point to a 32-player online cap, as opposed to the initial announcement of 16 players. It is the same data leak that supposedly outed PC and PS4 editions of GTA 5.
Elsewhere, the report suggests that 32 players can engage in free roam mode, and take in free-for-all deathmatch, team-based deathmatch, races and Cops n Crooks mode. GTA Online launches next Tuesday.
