Grand Theft Auto Online: overview

Launch: GTA Online is the persistent multiplayer side of GTA V. It went live on 1 October 2013, two weeks after GTA V, as a free mode for anyone who owned the game.
Setting: It shares GTA V’s map of Los Santos and Blaine County. Players create their own character, whose story begins a few months before GTA V’s single-player campaign.
Activities: Players build a criminal career through missions, races, multi-part heists and owned businesses.
Launch problems: The first weeks had server and save-data issues. Rockstar paid GTA$500,000 to everyone who played in October 2013 as compensation.
Platform history:
- It moved to PS4/Xbox One (2014) and PC (2015) with GTA V.
- It launched on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on 15 March 2022. On those consoles it is also sold separately from Story Mode, and it was free on PS5 until 14 June 2022.
- Service on PS3 and Xbox 360 ended on 16 December 2021, and characters from those versions could not be transferred.
Ongoing support: Rockstar has released free content updates for well over a decade. The most recent major one Take-Two lists is The Kortz Center Heist summer update, released 14 July 2026 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Take-Two names the GTA series, including GTA Online’s recurrent spending, among its largest sources of revenue.
What happens after GTA VI: Rockstar has not set out a public plan for GTA Online once GTA VI launches on 19 November 2026.

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition

What it is: Remasters of GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas, rebuilt in Unreal Engine 4 by Grove Street Games. It launched on 11 November 2021.

Where it is available now

Rockstar lists it for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC (Rockstar Games Launcher, Steam, Epic Games Store).
On iOS and Android the three games are sold individually on the App Store and Google Play (see the Netflix section below).

Current status

The launch was heavily criticised for bugs, visual glitches and art changes. Rockstar briefly pulled the PC version from sale soon after release and patched the game several times.
The latest major patch, Title Update 1.112, came out on 12 November 2024:
- It added a “Classic Lighting” option and many visual fixes that first appeared in the mobile versions.
- It removed Grove Street Games from the opening splash screens. The studio is still in the end credits.
- The visual overhaul applied to PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Coverage of how much of it reached PS4, Xbox One and Switch is mixed.
Take-Two said the collection beat its sales expectations but never published a unit figure. The often-quoted “10 million” is an estimate made by outlets from Take-Two’s franchise totals, not an official number.

Netflix Games mobile versions

Which titles: Grand Theft Auto III – The Definitive Edition, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City – The Definitive Edition and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas – The Definitive Edition. They were three separate iOS/Android apps, ported by Video Games Deluxe and published by Rockstar.
