Rockstar’s pre-order announcement and platform store listings describe GTA VI as a single-player experience. In August 2026, Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier reported that Take-Two is discussing the game only in single-player terms and has no near-term plans to announce a new GTA Online.
GTA Online launched two weeks after GTA V in 2013 and grew into one of the most profitable entertainment services of its generation. That track record is why an online mode is expected eventually — but Rockstar has not confirmed one, and an online mode at launch is not what it has described.
Rockstar continues shipping weekly event bonuses and content updates for the current GTA Online — we track them every Thursday. Rockstar has said nothing about shutting it down; GTA V’s online service outlived two console generations, and a long overlap is likely.
The GTA RP community is already organizing for GTA VI. Our server directory accepts submissions from roleplay communities preparing for GTA VI and from established FiveM servers.
