GTA 6 Is a 'Single-Player Experience,' Rockstar Confirms, Suggesting Any New Version of GTA Online Won't Make the Initial Launch

GTA 6 is a “single-player experience,” Rockstar has confirmed in a note sent to IGN, as well as on storefronts where you can now preorder the game. This suggests the $80 base game does not include any new version of GTA Online, should such an experience be in the works. While many are assuming Rockstar plans to release a new and improved GTA Online at some point in the future, there remains questions over how it will be released. Will Rockstar release a new GTA Online for free within GTA 6? Or will it release it as a standalone experience, potentially charging more? Rockstar’s announcements today have made it clear that the existing GTA Online is the focus for now. A digital preorder gets you a free month of GTA+, with Rockstar referencing GTA Online in its press release: "Experience the dynamic blockbuster GTA Online now with the best way to get the most out of its ever-evolving world.
