How do i start playing gta online for the first time?

Grand Theft Auto Online is the multiplayer component of Grand Theft Auto V and was released for multiple platforms between 2013 and 2022. When you start Grand Theft Auto V, select the “Grand Theft Auto Online” mode from the main menu. The game will then guide you through creating a custom silent protagonist, after which you will be placed in the open world of San Andreas, which includes the city of Los Santos and surrounding countryside. In this shared environment up to 30 players can explore, cooperate or compete in various missions and activities. Your progress, vehicles, and properties are saved to your online profile, allowing you to return and continue playing across sessions.
