Take-Two says GTA Online support continues, but announces no online mode for GTA 6

Take-Two said on November 9, 2026 that Rockstar will keep supporting Grand Theft Auto Online, and it announced no online mode for Grand Theft Auto VI. In the prepared remarks for its second-quarter earnings call, the company said: “Rockstar Games will continue to support Grand Theft Auto Online with new content and ongoing events for its vast community.” That sentence is about the existing GTA Online, the mode that came with GTA V.

The same document describes GTA VI as “coming to the world on November 19th”. The remarks do not mention an online or multiplayer mode for GTA VI, so there is no name, date or price for one.

Asked directly, Strauss Zelnick did not add anything. GamesBeat’s Dean Takahashi wrote on November 9 that he asked whether the PC version of GTA VI, “the online version” and user-generated content would come soon or over a longer period. Zelnick replied: “As you know, questions like that are always addressed in the fullness of time by our labels.” “The online version” is the reporter’s phrase, and Zelnick did not say such a version exists.

On the call, as transcribed by The Motley Fool, several analysts asked about GTA Online. Citi’s Jason Bazinet asked whether a development cost ceiling of $1.5 billion, given by a Rockstar executive to Bloomberg, also covered “the online version”. That phrase is the analyst’s, not Take-Two’s. Zelnick answered only about budgets: “We haven’t spoken about budgets at all.” As we read the transcript, none of his answers announced an online mode for GTA VI, and none ruled one out.

This fits what Take-Two said at its annual meeting on September 17, 2026. In StockAnalysis’s transcript, a stockholder asked for details on GTA Online. Of GTA VI, Zelnick said: “It’s a single-player title and it’s being launched on Xbox and PS5.” Of the existing mode, he said it “continues to be a robust business for us, and we will continue to support GTA V Online.”

Where does 2027 come from? Nowhere official. Twitch CEO Dan Clancy told Bloomberg in September that he expected “an even bigger one next year when they launch multiplayer”. The second claim reaches us second-hand. Beebom reported on October 14 that a Bloomberg feature by Jason Schreier, published that day, refers to an “online component, which is expected to be released in 2027”. We have not read the Bloomberg feature, which is behind a paywall, so that fragment is Beebom’s quotation and we cannot check its wording. Neither Rockstar nor Take-Two has confirmed it.

In short: GTA Online stays supported, Take-Two called GTA VI a single-player title in September, and an online mode for GTA VI has been neither announced nor ruled out.
