What Rockstar has said

In its pre-order announcement of 24 June 2026, Rockstar calls Grand Theft Auto VI “a single player experience”, coming on 19 November to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Xbox Wire uses the same words on 10 November 2026.

We found no online mode, no multiplayer mode and no co-op announced on Rockstar’s game page, the Rockstar newswire posts we read, the PlayStation Store, the Xbox page or Take-Two’s results release of 9 November 2026.

We do not repeat press reports of an online mode or its timing. Rockstar has not confirmed any of them.

What the store listing shows

Players: 1 player.
Offline play: enabled.
In-game purchases: optional. The listing does not say what can be bought.
Remote Play: supported.

These are the PlayStation Store’s labels for the US page, read on 14 November 2026. “Offline play enabled” does not tell us whether you need to be online to download the game or to get updates.

Is GTA Online still running?

Yes. Rockstar’s newswire has GTA Online posts dated 5 November 2026, about a weekly heist event, and 6 November 2026, about a free vehicle for GTA+ members. Rockstar has announced no end date for GTA Online in anything we read.

If you want to play online with friends this week, GTA Online is the online game Rockstar is updating.

GTA+ and the pre-order

Digital pre-orders of Grand Theft Auto VI include a free month of GTA+, the membership named in Rockstar’s GTA Online posts. On PlayStation the month must be claimed by 31 March 2027. See the editions guide for the deadlines.
