GTA Online at 13, and what we know about online in GTA 6

Grand Theft Auto Online

GTA Online went live on October 1, 2013, two weeks after GTA V. After a rocky first week it grew into one of the longest-running online games around. It is thirteen today, and it still runs on GTA V.

Will GTA 6 have its own online mode?

Rockstar has not said. As of today, it has not announced an online mode for GTA VI, a release date for one, player counts, or how it would relate to the GTA Online people play now.

There is one small clue. Rockstar Support says digital pre-orders of GTA VI include a free month of GTA+, the membership that exists today for GTA Online. Rockstar has not said what GTA+ will include for GTA VI.
