GTA 6 Will Launch Without Online Multiplayer Mode

If you're booting up GTA 6 hoping to cause chaos with your friends right away, you'll have to wait a bit longer. According to a report from Push Square, the highly anticipated game will not feature its online multiplayer component when it launches next week.

The title is scheduled to release for the PlayStation 5 on November 19, 2026. The multiplayer mode is reportedly planned to arrive at a later, unspecified date.

Push Square notes the game arrives in the shadow of its predecessor, GTA 5, which has sold an estimated 235 million copies. The site suggests GTA 6 is poised for a massive launch.
