  1. Has Rockstar announced GTA Online for GTA 6?
  2. What’s the free month of GTA+ for?
  3. Will my GTA Online character carry over?

Confirmed No multiplayer at launch, as far as anyone has been told. The PlayStation Store lists GTA 6 as single player, 1 player, playable offline, and its FAQ says the game is single-player (PlayStation Store).

Has Rockstar announced GTA Online for GTA 6?

Reported Not yet. Rockstar has described GTA 6 as a “singleplayer experience” and hasn’t said when, or how, a new GTA Online will arrive (PC Gamer, GamesRadar+).

Until Rockstar announces something, don’t plan around a date.

What’s the free month of GTA+ for?

Confirmed Buy either digital edition before 20 November 2026 and you get one month of GTA+, Rockstar’s paid membership. Claim it by 31 March 2027. It’s one per account, it isn’t offered in some countries (including China, Russia and several Gulf states), and it renews as a paid subscription unless you cancel (PlayStation Store).

Confirmed GTA+ is the membership for GTA Online, so the free month is a GTA Online perk, not extra GTA 6 story content (PlayStation Store, GamesRadar+).

Tip: if you claim it, set a reminder to cancel before the month ends, unless you want to keep paying.

Will my GTA Online character carry over?

Nobody knows yet. Rockstar hasn’t said anything about transfers. We’ll update this page the moment it does.
