Are online and story mode saves linked in gta v?

Grand Theft Auto V offers two distinct gameplay modes: a single‑player story campaign and the multiplayer component known as Grand Theft Auto Online. The only confirmed information about their relationship comes from the official description of GTA Online, which presents it as a separate online world that allows up to 30 players to roam the same open‑world environment used by the story mode. No source indicates that progress, missions, or character data from one mode are transferred to or shared with the other. Players therefore must maintain separate progress in each mode, as the game treats them as distinct experiences.
