Can you play grand theft auto online solo?

Grand Theft Auto Online, released by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games, is the online component of Grand Theft Auto V. It is built for multiplayer interaction, allowing up to 30 players to explore the open world of San Andreas together in cooperative or competitive modes. The official description and documentation describe the game as an online multiplayer experience and do not reference a single-player mode or solo play option. Consequently, players who wish to experience the game alone would still be connected to the online servers and would not have the ability to play completely without other players.
