# What happens to GTA Online when GTA 6 comes out?

Take-Two expects to keep supporting GTA Online after GTA 6. Take-Two's CEO Strauss Zelnick said in February 2026 he has "every reason to believe we'll continue to support GTA Online". Grand Theft Auto VI launches as a single-player game, and no end date for GTA Online or online mode for GTA 6 has been announced.

- Partly confirmed — Confirmed: GTA 6 is single-player at launch. Reported, not seen first-hand: Zelnick's words come from press coverage of an earnings call; we could not open a transcript. Not announced: an end date for GTA Online or a GTA 6 online mode.

## What Take-Two has said

On an earnings call reported on February 4, 2026, Take-Two Interactive's CEO Strauss Zelnick was asked about GTA Online. As quoted by GamingBolt, he said: "I have every reason to believe we'll continue to support GTA Online," and added: "There's a great community that loves it, that stays engaged."

That is an expectation, not a schedule. He did not say how long support would last or what updates are planned. Press reports of later calls describe the same position; we have not been able to read a transcript of any of them, so we quote only the February remarks.

## GTA 6 has no online mode at launch

The PlayStation and Xbox store pages say: "Grand Theft Auto VI is a single-player experience." GTA Online is the online mode of Grand Theft Auto V; it is not part of GTA 6. See [Does GTA 6 have online multiplayer at launch?](https://gta6confirmed.com/answers/gta-6-online-multiplayer/).

The free month of GTA+ that comes with digital pre-orders is a membership for GTA Online and other Rockstar games, not for GTA 6. See [How do I claim the free month of GTA+ with GTA 6?](https://gta6confirmed.com/answers/gta-6-gta-plus-free-month/).

## What is not announced

- An end date for GTA Online on any platform.
- An online mode for GTA 6, its release date or its price.
- Whether GTA Online characters, money or progress can move to anything in GTA 6.

Claims about any of these that you see elsewhere are not backed by a statement from Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive.

## When this answer will change

This page will be updated when Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive announces plans for GTA Online or an online mode for GTA 6.
