GTA 6 Online: does GTA 6 have multiplayer?
Short answer: GTA VI has no online mode at launch on November 19, 2026. The FAQ on the official PlayStation page says it plainly: “Grand Theft Auto VI is a single-player experience”, and the listing shows 1 player. Rockstar has not announced a separate online mode like GTA V’s GTA Online — no date, no details.

Beware of “GTA 6 Online beta” offers
Invitations to a “closed GTA 6 Online beta”, keys or “early access” for money or for your PSN or Xbox password are scams. Rockstar announces such things only on Newswire.
What about GTA Online for GTA V?
Rockstar has not announced shutting down GTA Online. According to Take-Two, as reported by the press, support for the current GTA Online continues after GTA VI launches.
