'''Grand Theft Auto Online''' is an online multiplayer universe accessible for free through retail copies of [[Grand Theft Auto V]] on the [[Xbox 360]] and [[PlayStation 3]]. | |||
GTA Online is a dynamic and constantly growing world, as it will continue to expand as content is added either by Rockstar or GTAO players, thus making it larger than GTA V. | |||
Though it mimics GTA V at first and is accessible through that game, Rockstar are treating it as a standalone, separate entity from GTA V, essentially even saying that they feel GTA V has no multiplayer mode because GTA Online is so separate. | |||
