GTA Online does not end on November 19. According to IGN's interview with Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick, Rockstar will keep supporting GTA Online after GTA 6 is released. @gtasix_ and RockstarINTEL also relay it.
Only the principle: the online mode of GTA 5 stays supported once GTA 6 is on shelves. In what we have seen, no duration, content schedule or figure is given. We could not read the full interview, so we stick to what its headline and the relays report.
That is a separate question and it remains open. Earlier today, multiplayer shortcuts spotted in the game's PS5 data drew attention, and we covered them with caution: they show technical support, not an announcement. Zelnick's statement says nothing about the date or shape of any GTA 6 online mode and should not be read that way.
It lands the same day Take-Two talks of "unprecedented" pre-orders, covered in our earnings piece. A publisher reassuring fans of a 2013 game while launching its successor is speaking first to online players and shareholders.
