Rockstar will keep supporting GTA Online after GTA 6 arrives, Take-Two says

Official

What happened

Take-Two says Rockstar Games will continue to support GTA Online with new content and ongoing events, in the prepared remarks for its earnings call of 9 November 2026, ten days before GTA 6. CEO Strauss Zelnick told IGN the same day: "We intend to keep supporting GTA Online".

If you still play GTA Online, this is the line you were waiting for. In the prepared remarks for its earnings call on 9 November 2026, Take-Two writes that “Rockstar Games will continue to support Grand Theft Auto Online with new content and ongoing events for its vast community.” Take-Two held its earnings call at 4:30 p.m. ET (1:30 p.m. PT, 21:30 London, 22:30 Amsterdam), ten days before GTA 6 comes out.

Chairman and CEO Strauss Zelnick put it in his own words the same day. In a phone interview with IGN, he was asked what he expects for GTA Online “from next week onwards”, and answered: “We intend to keep supporting GTA Online and it has been very successful. It’s been very resilient. It has continued to grow over the years, so we feel very good about it.”

The numbers from the same day

  • Grand Theft Auto V: nearly 235 million units sold, according to the prepared remarks.
  • The whole series: nearly 480 million units, in Take-Two’s November investor presentation.
  • The last quarter: the remarks say the series grew by a double-digit percentage in recurrent consumer spending and in average monthly GTA+ members, with The Kortz Center Heist as the latest major update.

This is about the GTA Online you can play today, the one that comes with Grand Theft Auto V. Whether GTA 6 gets an online mode of its own is a separate question, and our GTA 6 online page keeps track of what Rockstar has said about it.

Where this leaves you

A digital pre-order of GTA 6 comes with a free month of GTA+, which Take-Two says is redeemable in Grand Theft Auto V and other classic Rockstar titles, so that month lands in the GTA Online you already play; the pre-order page has the terms. The pre-order side of the same results is in Take-Two’s “unprecedented” pre-orders.
