Does GTA 6 have online multiplayer at launch?
Short answer
No. GTA 6 launches as a single-player game. Rockstar Games calls Grand Theft Auto VI a single-player experience, and the PlayStation Store lists it for one player. No online mode, co-op, split-screen or crossplay has been announced, and there is no official name, date or price for a GTA 6 online mode.

When is GTA 6 Online coming out?
It has not been announced. None of the official pages above names an online mode for GTA 6, a release date for one, or its price. No date appears in any of these sources.
Co-op, split-screen and crossplay
None of them is mentioned on any official page we read. PlayStation lists the game for one player.
GTA Online and GTA+ are a different thing
Digital pre-orders include a month of GTA+. Take-Two’s press release describes GTA+ as a way to get more out of “the ever-evolving world of GTA Online”. The same sentence ties GTA+ to Grand Theft Auto V and other classic Rockstar titles, and the release announces no online mode for GTA 6. See How do I claim the free month of GTA+ with GTA 6?.
