Can you play gta online from the beginning of the game?

The only verified source available is a Wikipedia article that describes the Grand Theft Auto series as an action‑adventure franchise focused on open‑world driving and shooting, but it does not mention the online multiplayer component or details about starting a new online session. Because the evidence does not address the start options for GTA Online, we cannot confirm whether a player can begin from the initial point of the game. To determine the exact starting procedure for GTA Online, additional sources that discuss the game’s online mode would be required.
