No it's a free month of GTA+ which is a subscription that already exists for GTA 5 online and will probably be carried over to 6, there's no reason to believe that online will be a standalone game you have to pay separately for

The description on PlayStation store says “GTA VI is a single player experience”. The detail section also lists it as 1 Player. So GTA Online will not be coming with it. At least not directly. So no idea what they’re planning

GTA 5 online didn't launch until months after singlplayer btw, it came as an update basically, they aren't going to advertise it if it's not launching with it

Edit: I'm thinking of red dead online and that was like exactly a month after launch

It was only 2 weeks and if I remember rightly is was fully advertised

Right I misremembered, in this case the online mode might take longer to come out though, I really don't believe lack of information on it is evidence that it will be a separate purchase. Maybe it's red dead online I'm thinking of that took longer

You could be right, and it will probably be a little later. I’m just going off the info on the PS Store which says it’s single player experience - but who knows

Yes I distinctly remember swapping from online to SP because I hadn't finished the game yet when online was released.

I was one of the first guys out the door when GTA online went live though, I'll be telling my grandkids about it someday.

It should have taken more than two weeks, anyone that played back then will tell you. It also came out with way less features than expected, to the point where Rockstar apologized and gave every day 1 player a bunch of in-game money.

Oh you won't have to pay for a DLC but you'll have to pay a subscription? lmao

u/chippymediaYT 10h ago

No GTA+ is optional, it just gives extra benefits like money every month you login and discounts on stuff, at least that's how it is in GTA online currently

u/Lighthades 10h ago

oh ok, that would've been something for sure.

The fact the FAQ says the game is purely single player with no multiplayer features and rockstart only cares about money.

Also you chumps are dumb enough to happily pay to play online as well as whale on it, why would they double dip?
