Is there a storyline that connects gta v and gta online?

{ "top_answer": "Grand Theft Auto Online is directly connected to GTA V: it is the multiplayer component set in the same world, but it does not continue the single‑player story of GTA V.", "long_answer": "Grand Theft Auto Online is built on the same open‑world map and engine as Grand Theft Auto V. The online mode launched about a year after the single‑player release and allows up to thirty players to explore San Andreas together. While both games share environments, characters, and some missions, the narratives are separate: the online version has its own storyline that starts after the inaugural release of Grand Theft Auto V. Players create a custom avatar and progress through various missions and heists that are designed to be played cooperatively or competitively. Consequently, there is no direct, canonical storyline linking the solo story of GTA V to the storylines developed exclusively for GTA Online.", "category_slug{"{":" " }":"", ""]}"} } " " " " "
