GTA Online 2.0 — Next-Gen Multiplayer Overview

GTA Online 2.0 is expected to launch shortly after GTA 6's single-player release, bringing a completely redesigned multiplayer experience built from the ground up for the RAGE engine. Unlike the original GTA Online which launched as an add-on to GTA V, the new Online mode is being developed alongside the single-player campaign with integrated progression.

Seasonal content model

Leaks and job postings suggest Rockstar is moving to a seasonal model for GTA Online 2.0. Each season would introduce new missions, vehicles, properties, and cosmetic items. This mirrors the approach tested in GTA Online's later years, but adapted for a fresh economy without the inflation issues that plagued GTA V's Online mode.

Crossplay and progression

Crossplay between PS5 and Xbox Series X|S is expected from launch. Player progression for GTA Online 2.0 starts fresh — no character or money transfers from the original GTA Online. This ensures balanced economy and fair competitive play across all player levels.
