Rockstar has released the online multiplayer title for Grand Theft Auto V this morning.
The online game, which is free with the purchase of GTA V, will take place a few months before the actual story begins and will help answer unanswered questions about the larger single player story.
GTA online will also include additional features, such as more customization options for one’s character, increased number of jobs, as well as updates that add more cooperative missions and accessories.
Since the game generated more than $1 billion in revenue within its first three days, it’s no surprise that players were more than excited for the online title to release. While Rockstar had expected a lot of online players, the servers did not.
But not to worry, the company has been quick to address the problem by releasing a statement via Twitter, “For those trying to get into GTA Online today, please bear w/ us on some day one tech connections issues that we’re working to stabilize asap.”
The online game play is not available as a stand-alone game.
How excited are you about GTA Online?
