Grand Theft Auto Online is expected to launch at around 12pm BST today, Rockstar has announced.
The multiplayer mode will be activated via a new Title Update, with players able to access the mode via the fourth (bottom) option in their character select wheel.
“Access to Grand Theft Auto Online is free with your copy of Grand Theft Auto V,” Rockstar wrote on its Newswire. “On October 1st there will be a small downloadable Title Update released on PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE. Upon installation of that Title Update, direct access to begin GTA Online will be unlocked in your GTAV game menu. You will be able to jump right into GTA Online via the 4th (bottom) slot in your GTAV character wheel.
“We’ve received many questions asking for a specific confirmation of what exact time GTA Online will be available but of course this is contingent on both Title Updates becoming available on each console’s network. As a general timeframe, we do expect the Title Update to become available on PSN and Xbox LIVE starting around 7AM ET tomorrow morning, and your best bet is to stay tuned throughout the day here at the Rockstar Newswire and by following us on Twitter and Facebook where we will be keeping everyone updated.”
Rockstar warned last week that access to GTA Online could be “temperamental” and asked players to expect “teething problems” with the service.
“There will be the typical growing pains for an online game, including but not limited to crashes, glitches, crazy bugs, gameplay modes and mechanics that need re-balancing and other surprises,” said Rockstar.
“This sort of thing is inevitable in a massive open-world game and there’ll surely be lots more unexpected oddities like this in the Online world [at launch]”.
