GTA 6 Online release window has apparently leaked

After years of waiting, gamers will finally be able to dive into GTA 6 next week, on November 19. Rockstar has already revealed plenty of details about the upcoming title, which is shaping up to be one of the biggest video game launches in history. However, while players will be able to enjoy the single-player campaign at launch, the game won't arrive with a multiplayer mode. But now, it seems that the release window for GTA 6 Online may have leaked.

Back in August, Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier claimed that Take-Two and Rockstar weren't planning to reveal details about the new GTA Online anytime soon. He later clarified that Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick hadn't specifically discussed when the multiplayer mode would launch.

Interestingly, Bloomberg Originals has now published a new video titled "Why GTA 6 Took 13 Years and $1 Billion to Make," featuring Schreier and other Bloomberg reporters. While the video mainly discusses the game's lengthy development, the narrator makes an interesting claim about its multiplayer mode.

"The game that ships in 2026 is not even its final form. The real long-term engine arrives a year later with multiplayer," the narrator says. This suggests that GTA 6 Online could launch sometime in late 2027, roughly a year after the base game's release.

However, it's important to keep in mind that Rockstar and Take-Two haven't officially confirmed this release window. It's also unclear whether the narrator accidentally mentioned an unannounced detail or simply made an assumption about the multiplayer mode's arrival.
