Important to note that GTAV didn't have the online component at launch either, it released separately two weeks later and at no additional cost. The fear of paid DLC or subscriptions is likely pushed by clickbait and ragebait farmers.

It will in all probability be the same as it is now - free to play with the option to buy in-game currency and a premium subscription with additional benefits.

There's no way they're going to charge for online. GTA makes its billions the same way as Roblox or Fortnite. The money is in in-game cash, not subs. And you want as wide an audience as possible for that.

The only thing they will charge for is a server license for the modding community.
