It’s finally here! The Gameplay for Grand Theft Auto Online has been revealed.

The Online world of Grand Theft Auto is completely open. The game combines an expanding world with a wide array of redesigned mechanics full of structured and unstructured events. You have the choice to do jobs on your own or you can team up with friends online to own the streets. Your character is fully customizable from their hair style to their weapon of choice. These can be purchased with money earned from jobs.

When you complete jobs you earn money and reputation. You can buy apartments and even have your friends come visit. Garages can be purchased too for those nice Lamborghini’s that pass you on the streets. The gameplay for the online looks gorgeous. It’s no longer restricted to just kill or be killed. When online you can take the vehicles you own and race them against other people. It doesn’t stop at car racing, you can take to the skies in gliders and sail through the oceans on jet skies. This game has everything! Sports, 3rd-person shooting and car/boat/plane/jet skies and quad-bike racing. it’s shaping up to be the ultimate must own game of the generation!

The biggest mechanic that stands out to me is the “Content Creator”. This allows for full customization of races and shooting events! Each event that you create can be shared online with your friends and the world. The best and most important part, access to Grand Theft Auto Online is free with every retail copy of Grand Theft Auto V and will be live on October 1st, giving you plenty of time to hone your skills in the single player mode first!
