GTA 6 Launches Single-Player, but 90% of Teens Want Online

GTA 6 launches single-player, but 90% of teens expect online.

Research firm Piper Sandler polled 9,000 teenagers, and 40% plan extra in-game purchases. Except retail listings call GTA 6 a single-player experience, and Rockstar hasn't mentioned online.

Still, 70% of teens with a PS5 or Xbox plan to buy it.

Pulse check: No. We'd buy GTA 6 for the story, because Rockstar hasn't promised anything else. Pulse check: steady, your launch plans don't change.
