When is GTA 6 Online coming out?
There is no official date or window. The only public hint came from Twitch CEO Dan Clancy, who told Bloomberg at Tokyo Game Show in September 2026 that he expects the multiplayer to arrive in 2027. He was speaking about his own expectations for Twitch viewership, and Rockstar has not confirmed it. For comparison, GTA Online arrived about two weeks after GTA V in 2013, and Red Dead Online about a month after Red Dead Redemption 2.
What happens to GTA Online?
It keeps running. Take-Two's CEO Strauss Zelnick has said the company expects to keep supporting GTA Online after GTA 6 launches, at the same update pace.
