# Can I play GTA 6 offline?

Yes on PS5, where the store lists offline play as enabled. The PlayStation Store page for Grand Theft Auto VI shows Offline play enabled and 1 player. You need internet to download it, since even the boxed version is a code. Xbox's page says nothing about offline play, and both stores note that some features may require internet.

- Partly confirmed — Confirmed: PlayStation lists offline play as enabled on PS5, and the game is download-only. Not confirmed: the same for Xbox Series X|S, and whether the first launch or any feature needs a connection or a Rockstar Games account.

## PS5

The PlayStation Store page for the game shows three labels that matter here: "Offline play enabled", "1 player" and "Remote Play supported". The page does not list PlayStation Plus as a requirement.

Its legal notes add that you can download and play the game on the main PS5 console associated with your account, through the "Console Sharing and Offline Play" setting, and on other PS5 consoles when you sign in with the same account. PlayStation's support page for the game tells people who share a console to make sure that setting is enabled.

## Xbox Series X|S

Not confirmed. The Xbox store page lists "Single player" among the game's capabilities but says nothing about offline play.

## You need a connection to get the game

There is no disc. Digital copies and boxed copies are both downloads, and Rockstar asks for up to 212 GB of free space. See [Does GTA 6 come on a disc?](https://gta6confirmed.com/answers/gta-6-disc/) and [How big is GTA 6?](https://gta6confirmed.com/answers/gta-6-download-size/).

## What may still need the internet

Both store pages carry the same notice: "Certain game features, content, services, or functions may require internet connection, Rockstar Games account registration (minimum age varies), single-use serial code, additional fees, or unlocking with gameplay". The pages do not say which features that covers.

Streaming the game through Xbox Cloud Gaming needs a connection by its nature. See [Is GTA 6 on Xbox Cloud Gaming?](https://gta6confirmed.com/answers/gta-6-xbox-cloud-gaming/).

## What is not known

- Whether the first launch needs a connection or a sign-in.
- Whether any in-game feature stops working offline.

Both can be checked after release on November 19, 2026.
