Hear me out: GTA Online has always worked best as a singleplayer game, and whatever shape GTA 6's multiplayer off-shoot takes needs to follow suit

GTA Online.

Hackers and hoverbikes. Ask any GTA Online player to name their biggest gripes roving Los Santos, and I guarantee this pairing gets a name-check. And while Rockstar has spent years attempting to cull cheaters from its chaotic multiplayer spaces (with limited success, it must be said), marshalling griefing sky-bound Pegassi Oppressor Mk II enthusiasts as they rain down mission-spoiling missiles upon hapless server-sharers is a different challenge entirely.

Sure, these guys are an-noy-ing, but being a dick in San Andreas isn't illegal, at least not in the real world. What it is, however, is cause to seek GTA Online's quieter servers, or, better still, its solo spaces that allow you to crack on with your business in relative peace. Which is to say: GTA Online is actually a better game when viewed as a singleplayer experience.
