Does grand theft auto online have a story mode?

Grand Theft Auto Online is the online multiplayer component of Grand Theft Auto V, released in 2013 as a standalone game. It does not include a traditional story mode like the single-player campaign of GTA V. Instead, the game emphasizes open-world exploration, player-created characters, and online multiplayer activities such as missions, races, and heists. The setting is the fictional state of San Andreas, featuring Los Santos and surrounding areas, but the narrative is minimal and player-driven rather than scripted or linear. All story content from GTA V's single-player mode remains separate, while Online focuses on multiplayer interaction and emergent gameplay.
