GTA 6 Survey Reveals People Really Want GTA Online, But It Hasn’t Been Confirmed Yet

Grand Theft Auto 6 releases on November 19, and a lot of people are very excited to play some kind of online mode, according to a new study. The only problem is that GTA 6 is a strictly single-player game and has no online mode, at least not one that Rockstar has talked about yet.

Research firm Piper Sandler recently polled 9,000 teenagers, with 90% saying they intend to play GTA Online. It would be shocking if GTA 6 doesn’t eventually have an online mode, but the company has not said anything about that.

Product listings for GTA 6 at retailers make it clear that the game is a “single-player experience,” so it’s not something Rockstar is trying to be coy about.

The poll also found that 40% of respondents said they planned to make additional in-game purchases.

Additionally, the survey found that 70% of respondents who own a PS5 or Xbox Series X|S plan to buy GTA 6. Of those, 55% said they are planning to buy GTA immediately, and 15% said they would wait several months.

Before this, Circana reported that nearly 1 in 3 console and PC gamers in the US plan to buy GTA 6; that’s the highest purchase intent that Circana has ever measured.

Analyst James Callahan reiterated a $290 price target on Take-Two’s stock. After getting crushed so far in 2026, Take-Two stock today stands at about $210/share (after a huge rally today, November 4).

It remains to be seen what Rockstar may do with the existing GTA Online for GTA 6 after GTA 6 comes out–whatever the case, gamers are going to be mad.

GTA 6 launches on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Preloading starts on November 10, and gamers in the US will be among the last in the world to get to play the game, so maybe pack your bags for New Zealand.
