Why GTA Online Players Think Its New Anti-Cheat May Hint At GTA 5's Future
GTA Online was recently updated with new anti-cheat software, and some players think this move could be a sign that GTA 5's PC port may be in for a serious upgrade.

The theory is also backed up by leaks, including a folder players uncovered on Rockstar's website titled "SITES-GTA-GEN9."
