Resolution criteria

This market will resolve to the date on which the official, public-facing online multiplayer mode for Grand Theft Auto VI (commonly referred to as "GTA VI Online" or "GTA 6 Online") officially launches and becomes playable to the general public on any major platform (PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, or PC).

• Public Playability: This refers to the official release date of the online component by Rockstar Games. It includes any "Public Beta" launch (similar to the Red Dead Online Beta) as long as it is open to all owners of the base game. It excludes closed alphas, invite-only tests, or developer-only builds.

• Platform Earliest: The market resolves to the earliest date the multiplayer becomes playable on any platform. For example, if it launches on consoles before PC, the console release date will be used.

• Time Zone: Resolution will be based on the official release date in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

• Sources: Resolution will be verified via the official Rockstar Games Newswire and official Rockstar social media accounts.

Background

Rockstar Games has scheduled the single-player campaign of Grand Theft Auto VI to release on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. At launch, the game will be a single-player-only experience.

Historically, Rockstar has launched online components shortly after single-player campaigns; Grand Theft Auto Online released two weeks after GTA V in 2013, and Red Dead Online launched about a month after RDR2. However, for GTA VI, Rockstar has not yet announced an official release window or details for its next-generation multiplayer experience, leading to speculation of a longer delay.
