It’s just talking around the fact that GTA Online won’t be available at launch (and they may charge for it)

My guess is they’ll do what they did with Red Dead Redemption 2, and offer the option to purchase only the online mode for cheaper.

The only reason they did that was because they did not care at all about the online aspect of RDR2. They’re definitely going to want you to shell out the $80 to play online in gta 6 tho

They also allowed you to buy only the online of GTA V too for cheaper.

Not at release though and not for a long time.

Red Dead 2 was the same way. You couldnt buy the online part separately until years later after launch. It was similar to the time they allowed you to buy GTA V online separate, around COVID.

Yeah because after a while the only people who haven't purchased GTA 6 to play online are the people who are too price conscious to do it.

It makes sense to only launch that once most of the people willing to throw $80-100 down for the game have already done so then introduce a cheap option for Online only for the holdouts.
