Grand Theft Auto Online launches

Rockstar Games have confirmed the launch of Grand Theft Auto Online.

Access to Grand Theft Auto Online is free with a copy of Grand Theft Auto V. A small downloadable Title Update has been released on PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE which, upon install, permits direct access to begin GTA Online via your GTAV game menu.

Grand Theft Auto Online is set a few months prior to the events of Grand Theft Auto V’s single player story. There’s plenty of havoc and treachery you can cause out in the open world, but the house party invitations are designed to be a friendly social affair where players can visit each other’s pads without fear of having them ruined or losing their vehicles. If someone invites you into their property, then it is considered a friendly visit and you will not be able to shoot up their place or steal their cars from their garage.

The developers promise there will be a massive amount of Jobs available to play over time as they will be regularly adding new ones. Additionally, players can add content to the game world themselves, by creating custom Race and Deathmatch Jobs through the Content Creator tool which is planned to release this fall.

Early reports suggest that the multiplayer servers are experiencing some trouble, as to be expected for a game that broke sales records.

Look for our complete review of Grand Theft Auto V, including Grand Theft Auto Online, later this week.
