Can you play the gta v story in gta online?

Grand Theft Auto Online is the multiplayer component that runs alongside the single‑player campaign of Grand Theft Auto V. While both share the same open world, the story missions that form the core narrative of GTA V are only available in the single‑player campaign. Online features its own set of missions, heists, and progression systems, and there is no option to play the original story storyline within the online environment. Players who want to experience the GTA V narrative must launch the game in single‑player mode on a supported platform. The two modes remain distinct, with separate save files and content.
