GTA Online reportedly supports up to 32 players

Grand Theft Auto 5 Online will reportedly support up to 32 players, according to leaked files.

Rockstar has previously announced that the online portion of the game would support 16 players, but crackers have looked through XML files and found that it could actually be 32.

A number of game modes were also found in the files, including a freemode, deathmatch, team deathmatch, races and a cops and crooks mode.

There's a possibility Rockstar will see how things go with 16 players and increase the limit to 32 at a later stage.

We'll bring you more as soon as we hear it.

GTA Online launches 1 October.
