'''Grand Theft Auto Online''' ('''GTAO''' or '''GTA O''') is an online multiplayer universe for the GTA series. It will launch on 1 October 2013 and will be accessible through retail copies of [[Grand Theft Auto V]]. There will be no monthly subscription fee. GTAO will be 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.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nYIO-mkz10&list=PLL7-7TcGDvLhxWTkGT0gdXbDBwpaCjQ_c&index=6 CVG's GTA 5 o'clock: Massive GTA Online Preview]</ref>
