What is required to play grand theft auto online?
Quick Answer
To play Grand Theft Auto Online, you need a platform that supports the game – PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, or a Windows PC – and a copy of Grand Theft Auto V installed on that platform.
Explanation
Grand Theft Auto Online is the online multiplayer component of Grand Theft Auto V, released on 1 October 2013 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, 18 November 2014 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, 14 April 2015 for Windows, and 15 March 2022 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. To access the game, you must have a compatible console or PC that matches one of these releases. Additionally, the game requires a copy of Grand Theft Auto V, as Online is an extension of that title. There are no further platform-specific requirements noted in the available evidence.
