IT之家 November 15 news: Bloomberg released a YouTube video on November 13 mainly discussing the development process of GTA 6, but at the end the video said that "the game launching in 2026 isn't even its final form. The real long-term driver will arrive a year later with the multiplayer mode," which led fans to believe the video implied that GTA 6's online mode would launch in late 2027. Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier has now posted that the video script was erroneous and that the claim that "GTA 6's online mode will launch in late 2027" is false. IT之家 notes that as of now, Rockstar has not officially confirmed that GTA 6 has a corresponding multiplayer online mode. The studio previously stated explicitly that GTA 6 will be a "single-player game" at launch, and that Rockstar may in the future follow the approach of GTA 5 by operating the game's single-player story mode and online mode separately. For reference, GTA 5 itself did not offer multiplayer at launch either: the game was released on September 17, 2013, and GTA Online (GTA 5 Online) went live several weeks later.
