Do gta online missions continue the story mode narrative?

Grand Theft Auto Online is an online multiplayer component developed by Rockstar North and released alongside Grand Theft Auto V. It allows players to explore the fictional state of San Andreas with up to thirty participants, offering cooperative and competitive game modes. The missions and activities available in GTA Online are designed specifically for a multiplayer experience and are separate from the single‑player story that follows the three protagonists of GTA V. There is no evidence that the online missions extend or build upon the narrative of the story mode; instead, they provide independent content that can be played independently of the single‑player storyline. Thus, players who complete the story mode are not required to play GTA Online to finish the game's overarching plot, and the online missions do not continue that narrative.
