PSA: GTA 6 Does Not Have Online Multiplayer at Launch

GTA 6 will launch on PS5 on 19 November 2026 as a single-player game, with no online multiplayer available at release. The clarification matters because some fans have assumed, after years of GTA 5 including GTA Online, that its successor would offer multiplayer from day one.

GTA 5 has sold 235 million copies, and its online mode arrived shortly after the original game launched 13 years ago. An updated GTA Online for GTA 6 is expected within a few months, possibly in the first quarter of 2027, but Rockstar has not confirmed a date; a PC release is also rumoured for a similar period.
