Grand Theft Auto Online (also known as GTA Online) is an online multi-player action-adventure video game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. It was released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on October 1, 2013; for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on November 18, 2014; for Microsoft Windows (available via Steam and Rockstar Games Launcher on April 14, 2015 and via Epic Games Store on May 14, 2020), and for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S on March 15, 2022. In the first release of the game, Grand Theft Auto is the online component of Grand Theft Auto V and is set within the same fictional state of San Andreas. When it was released for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, Grand Theft Auto Online was the main title that was downloadable, with the single-player Grand Theft Auto V single-player only available as a separate downloadable DLC for it. Despite being earlier bundled with Grand Theft Auto V, Grand Theft Auto Online is considered a separate, stand-alone title.
