A recent social media rumor suggested that Rockstar Games had constructed a custom datacenter specifically for Grand Theft Auto 6, and this led to widespread debate among fans and forums. However, reliable insiders and reputable sources within the gaming community have since intervened to dispel the rumor, citing that there is no confirmed evidence to validate the presence of such infrastructure.
Viral claim of custom datacenter lacks credible backing
The rumor has its roots in a single post on X (formerly Twitter) that hinted at Rockstar having built its own datacenter, exclusively for GTA 6. This gained massive momentum on platforms such as X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit, with speculations from the fans that a move like this indicated unprecedented scope and ambition on the part of the new game.

Despite the excitement, no official confirmation has come from Rockstar Games or its parent company, Take-Two Interactive. More importantly, no reputable gaming outlets or insider sources have reported any evidence supporting the claim. Multiple respected voices within the GTA community have outright dismissed the datacenter narrative, citing it as unfounded speculation without any basis in fact.
GTA 6 expected to use traditional server model
In contrast to datacenter speculation, trusted sources within Rockstar's development plan indicate that GTA 6 Online will remain on a non-dedicated server model. This structure is similar to the one seen in GTA Online, and is reportedly a strategic cost-control initiative taken by Take-Two Interactive. Though not everyone's cup of tea when it comes to players, the model enables Rockstar to ramp up its services without the overhead of supporting sole-server infrastructure.
There is no denying that GTA 6 is on its way to being Rockstar's most ambitious game ever, with rumored features such as user-generated content creation tools and an ever-changing dynamic online world. However, these features don't necessarily mean it needs a proprietary datacenter, and so far, there's nothing that suggests Rockstar is shifting its infrastructure approach.
With expectations for GTA 6 growing more and more fervent, so too do rumors. But fans need to tread carefully around unverified reports, like Rockstar constructing a specific datacenter for the purpose, until they've been confirmed by official channels or credible media outlets. For the time being, all indications suggest Rockstar keeping to its proven server model for its most hyped release ever.
