A trip to Leonida does not mean a mandatory goodbye to Los Santos. GTA Online remains part of Rockstar's plans after GTA 6 launches, according to Take-Two chairman and CEO Strauss Zelnick in an IGN interview published on November 9.

The executive said the company intends to keep supporting GTA 5's multiplayer. He described it as an enduring success and emphasized that its community has continued growing over the years.

We intend to keep supporting GTA Online.

For players who have built a garage, brought friends together or spent years running businesses in the game, the statement clarifies the company's position as GTA 6 approaches. The current multiplayer remains part of the strategy at Rockstar's parent company, Take-Two.

That ongoing support also appears in the company's investor materials, which mention new content and events for GTA Online. The stated commitment goes beyond simply keeping its servers available.

What has been announced

The statement does not set an end date for support or provide a complete schedule of upcoming updates. For now, the concrete information is that GTA Online will continue receiving Rockstar's attention even after the new game reaches the market.

Players who still have plans in Los Santos can follow announcements about multiplayer events and updates while deciding when to head to Leonida.
