Online multiplayer: not at launch

Rockstar's own material and the store listings describe GTA 6 as a single-player experience. There's no online mode on November 19, and Rockstar hasn't announced a name, date or details for one.

History suggests it will come: GTA Online followed GTA 5 by about two weeks, and Red Dead Online followed Red Dead Redemption 2 by about a month. Leakers claim a similar gap this time, but that is not confirmed.

PC version: not announced

The confirmed platforms are PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar hasn't announced a PC version or date. GTA 5 reached PC about 19 months after consoles, and Red Dead 2 about a year after, so most expect PC in 2027 or later.

What this means for you

  • If you're deciding on hardware, pick a PS5 or Xbox. Waiting for PC could mean a long wait.
  • No PS4 or Xbox One version: it's current-gen consoles only.
  • We'll update this page the moment Rockstar announces online or PC.
