Rockstar has unveiled their multiplayer for Grand Theft Auto V, Grand Theft Auto Online, and it looks absolutely incredible.
It's not quite the MMO people were looking for (after all, it only sports 16 players), but there appears to be a ton of stuff to do. There's a wide array of structured and unstructured activities to do. You can earn and spend money, run around on your own making friends or enemies, form a crew with friends, perform a heist, and much more. Completing any job online earns the money, and then you can customize your character, guns, cars and even buy an apartment in the persistant world. You can buy a garage and fill it with custom vehicles. Wow.
And, Grand Theft Auto Online is free with any purchased copy of Grand Theft Auto V.
I can't contain my excitement anymore, so I'll let the trailer below tell the rest before I sound like a Rockstar fanboy. Check it out!
