At its annual shareholder meeting, Take-Two said: “We will continue to support GTA Online after the Grand Theft Auto 6 release and beyond.” That is today’s GTA Online, not a new mode for GTA VI.
Video Games Chronicle (quoting Take-Two)Reported
Twitch CEO Dan Clancy told Bloomberg he expects GTA VI’s multiplayer in 2027. He doesn’t speak for Rockstar, and it isn’t clear whether that is Rockstar’s plan or his own guess.

Why people expect an online mode
Rockstar’s last two big games both launched as single-player games and added online play soon after: GTA Online two weeks after GTA V, and Red Dead Online about a month after Red Dead Redemption 2. That track record is why many players expect the same for GTA VI. It is a pattern, not a promise: Rockstar hasn’t said it will happen again.
Until something is announced, there is nothing to connect to in GTA VI: no lobbies, crossplay or online fee. Today’s GTA Online carries on separately, with its own updates.
What we don’t know yet
- Whether GTA VI will get an online mode at all, and when.
- Whether it would be included with the game, sold separately or need a subscription.
- Whether it would have crossplay between PS5 and Xbox, or come to PC first or alongside it.
- Whether anything from today’s GTA Online would carry over.
GTA 6 Online questions
When does GTA 6 Online come out?
There is no date. Rockstar hasn’t announced an online mode for GTA VI. The only 2027 date going around comes from Twitch’s CEO, who doesn’t speak for Rockstar. GTA VI itself comes out on November 19, 2026 as a single-player game.
Will GTA Online shut down when GTA 6 comes out?
No. Take-Two said in September 2026 that it will keep supporting GTA Online after GTA VI’s release “and beyond”. That is the online mode that came with GTA V.
Can I carry my GTA Online character or money into GTA 6?
Nothing announced says so. Rockstar hasn’t announced a GTA VI online mode, let alone a way to bring characters, money or property across.
