GTA 6 Online Release Window Reportedly Leaked in Bloomberg Video

Gamers eagerly anticipating the next installment in Rockstar's flagship franchise may have to wait a bit longer for the multiplayer experience, according to a recent report. While the base game is slated to launch on November 19, initial releases will focus solely on the single-player campaign, leaving fans wondering when the online mode will follow.

A newly published Bloomberg Originals video, titled "Why GTA 6 Took 13 Years and $1 Billion to Make," touches upon the extensive development cycle of the blockbuster title. During the feature, the narrator mentions that the true long-term engine for the platform will debut a year after the initial rollout, pointing toward a late 2027 window for the online component.

Neither Rockstar nor its parent company, Take-Two Interactive, has officially confirmed a launch schedule for the multiplayer mode. Previously, gaming journalist Jason Schreier reported that executives had not disclosed specific timelines for the online rollout, adding uncertainty to whether the recent video commentary represents an official leak or an outside assumption.
