New Take-Two patent hints at massive GTA Online upgrade in GTA 6
GTA Online could be in store for a massive leap forward with the release of GTA 6 as a newly filed patent from Take-Two Interactive hints at a “seamless” online experience without any “unnecessary loading.”
GTA Online continues to dominate the gaming landscape almost a full decade removed from its release as part of GTA 5. Having now sold over 160 million units,helping pushRockstar parent company Take-Two’s earnings north of $866 million in thelatest quarter, it’s clear the multiplayer juggernaut isn’t going away anytime soon. With the next chapter in the renowned open-world franchise nowofficial, it’s only a matter of time until we see howGTA 6evolves the formula. While details remain scarce, a new patent direct from the source may have just teased one big step for GTA Online as it moves forward with the upcoming sequel. Although it’s nothing more than words on paper for now, Take-Two appears to be developing an innovative lobby system for its multiplayer games: one that could be adopted for GTA Online.
Say, for example, you’re driving through the streets of Los Santos in GTA Online. If you decide to jump into a race activity, this requires you to sift through a handful of menus and various loading screens before hitting the gas. If these new innovations can be applied as Take-Two hopes, that could all be left in the rearview mirror.
A truly seamless multiplayer experience could be just one of many ways the GTA franchise is set to evolve with the highly anticipated sequel.
