How does gta online expand on the story of gta v?

Grand Theft Auto Online is the online multiplayer component of Grand Theft Auto V, developed by Rockstar North and released on various platforms between 2013 and 2022. It allows up to thirty players to explore the fictional state of San Andreas, including the city of Los Santos, engaging in cooperative or competitive game modes. The game focuses on open-world recreation and player-driven activities rather than continuing the single‑player storyline of GTA V. While it shares the same setting and many assets, its narrative structure is distinct, offering missions, heists, and business ventures that are not part of the original campaign plot. Consequently, GTA Online does not expand on the story of GTA V; it provides a parallel gameplay experience.
