PlayStation Game Size, relayed by Sportskeeda and Notebookcheck, says the PS5 build mentions joinSession and launchMultiplayerActivity; no Online date is announced.

The launch build of GTA 6 on PS5 reportedly contains references to multiplayer. According to Sportskeeda, the PlayStation Game Size account found three activity intents in the files: joinSession, launchActivity and launchMultiplayerActivity. Rockstar has confirmed none of it.
On PS5, an intent is a shortcut the console can trigger from its interface, such as joining a friend's session. Notebookcheck describes strings suggesting players will be able to create or join sessions and start multiplayer events. These are code traces, not a visible feature.
Sportskeeda itself flags that this rests on a leak and advises caution. I keep the same line: a technical hint, read by two outlets from a single original source.
No, and both articles say so. Notebookcheck writes that multiplayer will not launch on November 19. The game arrives as a single-player experience, as our release page reminds. Infrastructure prepared in a build says nothing about a schedule.

The precedent helps. GTA Online arrived two weeks after GTA V, and a Red Dead Online beta about a month after Red Dead Redemption 2, Notebookcheck recalls. It also quotes Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, who downplays an imminent announcement and points to 2027 for co-op missions. Twitch CEO Dan Clancy likewise talks about a GTA 6 Online in 2027.
For now, nothing concrete: no date, no announcement, no mode. The leak only shows Rockstar prepared the ground on the console side. GTA Online keeps its weekly updates meanwhile. We will know more from November 19, and we will follow further preload findings in the journal.
