Grand Theft Auto 6 is on the way, and everyone’s hyped for its multiplayer mode, probably a follow-up to GTA Online. But GTA Online has had some serious issues over the years that have annoyed players and could mess up GTA 6 Online if Rockstar doesn’t fix them. From hackers running wild to menus that feel like they’re from 2013, here’s a rundown of seven problems, based on what players are saying in 2025, that need sorting out to make GTA 6 Online a smooth and fun experience.
Lack of Solo-Friendly Content
GTA Online is built for multiplayer, which is rough if you prefer playing alone. Solo players get stuck dealing with griefers in public lobbies or missions that need a squad. X users have been asking for more stuff to do solo with decent rewards. GTA 6 Online should have missions that scale for one player and private lobbies for grinding in peace. Giving solo players more options would make the game appeal to everyone.
Long Load Times and Server Issues
Even in 2025, GTA Online has load times that feel like forever—sometimes five minutes or more—plus random crashes and matchmaking glitches. It’s tied to the game’s outdated peer-to-peer system. Players shouldn’t have to mess with DNS settings to fix it. GTA 6 Online needs modern servers and faster matchmaking to cut the waiting and keep things stable. Nobody wants to stare at a loading screen in a next-gen game.
Hackers and Modders
GTA Online on PC is basically a free-for-all for hackers and modders. They spawn random stuff, teleport people, or even get innocent players banned by messing with lobbies. It’s a mess because the game uses a peer-to-peer setup instead of proper servers. Rockstar needs to step up with a solid anti-cheat system or dedicated servers for GTA 6 Online. If they don’t, lobbies will be a nightmare, and players will ditch the game for something fairer.
Toxic Lobbies and Griefing
Public lobbies in GTA Online can feel like a warzone. Players with stuff like the Pegassi Oppressor Mk II just blast everyone’s cargo or harass newbies for no reason. It’s frustrating and pushes casual players away. People on X keep saying they want better moderation or a passive mode that actually works without locking you out of missions. GTA 6 Online needs options like PvE-only lobbies or tougher penalties for griefers to keep things fun for everyone.
Unbalanced Economy and Microtransactions
The grind in GTA Online is brutal. You’re scraping by for pocket change on missions while supercars and businesses cost millions. It feels like the game’s pushing you to buy Shark Cards, which rubs people the wrong way. X posts show players are fed up with this setup. For GTA 6 Online, Rockstar should make missions pay better, lower prices for cool stuff, or ease up on the microtransaction nudge. That way, playing feels rewarding instead of like a cash grab.
Futuristic and Overpowered Vehicles
Flying bikes like the Oppressor Mk II and other crazy weaponized vehicles have thrown GTA Online’s crime-world feel out the window. They’re way too strong in PvP, making it unfair for anyone without one. Players on X say these don’t fit the GTA style. GTA 6 Online should stick to realistic cars and gear that match the setting and maybe limit weaponized stuff in some modes to keep things balanced and immersive.
Outdated Menus and UI
GTA Online’s menus are a pain—slow, clunky, and hard to figure out, especially for new players. Getting to missions or customizing your character feels like a chore. People on X have been begging for something smoother. GTA 6 Online needs a clean, quick menu system that doesn’t make you fight it to play the game. A better interface would make everything easier, especially for folks just jumping in.
