Grand Theft Auto Online - Sometimes referred to as GTA:O or GTA Online - is a free-to-play multiplayer version of the popular Grand Theft Auto open world crime series.
GTA Online is included for free with every copy of Grand Theft Auto V.
Release Date
Despite being included with every copy of GTA V, GTA Online did not launch on September 17 like the single-player component.
Instead, Rockstar announced that the online suite would launch seperately on October 1, 2013.
This was seen by some as an initiative to combat used game sales of GTA V.
