5 min readTwitch CEO Predicts GTA 6 Online in 2027, and Other News from Kinda Funny Games Daily
Dan Clancy, the CEO of Twitch, told Bloomberg that Grand Theft Auto 6's multiplayer mode will launch in 2027 — a year after the single-player game arrives this November. Clancy claimed Twitch has been "spending a lot of time talking with Rockstar about their plans" and helping them think about creator engagement. "You're gonna see this big bump with GTA 6, but then an even bigger one next year when they launch multiplayer," he said. The hosts, Tim Gettys and Mike, treated the claim as an educated guess from someone in a position to know, but stopped short of treating it as confirmed. "What does Dan Clancy know? Does he know anything? Does he know it all?" Mike asked. Tim pointed out that the safest bet is simply that GTA Online won't ship alongside the single-player game this year, and a 2027 window is reasonable given Rockstar's history of separating the two experiences.
