Today’s the day GTA<\/em> fans have been waiting for: It’s the official gameplay reveal for Grand Theft Auto Online<\/em>!<\/p>\n Although the online game uses the same engine and will be accessible for free with all retail copies of Grand Theft Auto V<\/em>, Rockstar is developing Grand Theft Auto Online<\/em> into its own experience, not merely a multiplayer aside to GTA 5<\/em>. The divide between the two experiences is further expressed by the release date: Grand Theft Auto V<\/em> launches September 17th, but Grand Theft Auto Online<\/em> won’t be ready to play until October 1st.<\/p>\n Concerning the game itself, Grand Theft Auto Online<\/em> looks like familiar GTA<\/em> crime spree madness, only with upwards of 16 players freely cruising the persistent open world together. There will be traditional competitive play modes as well as mission-based objectives for cooperative play, in addition to in-depth character progression and customization opportunities and even a content creator.<\/p>\n Learn more about Grand Theft Auto Online<\/em><\/a> by watching the new gameplay trailer.<\/p>\n
