As pre-order details are revealed, GTA 6 will seemingly only launch with the single-player campaign in November, as GTA Online does not get a mention
Rockstar Games has announced that Grand Theft Auto 6 will launch on November 19, exclusively with its single-player campaign. The pre-order details revealed do not mention the much-anticipated online mode, which has become a staple in the series. Historically, the online features have staggered releases post-launch, as seen with GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2, leaving fans to wonder if a similar approach will be taken this time as well.
