Piper Sandler surveyed 9,000 teenagers and found that 90% of them plan to play GTA Online. The figure was reported on 4 November 2026, and it points to strong demand for an online mode that Rockstar has not announced for GTA 6.

What did the Piper Sandler survey find?

Research firm Piper Sandler asked 9,000 teenagers about their gaming plans, and 90% said they intend to play GTA Online. GameSpot reported the result on 4 November 2026.

The number is a measure of appetite rather than a product announcement. It shows how many young players expect to spend time in an online GTA world, not what Rockstar is actually building.

Has Rockstar announced GTA Online for GTA 6?

No. Rockstar has not said anything about an online mode for GTA 6, and the game as described so far is a single-player release.

GTA 6 arrives on 19 November 2026 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. No PC version has been announced.

Given how popular GTA Online has been for GTA 5, a follow-up seems likely to many players, but that is expectation, not a plan Rockstar has shared.

Why does the survey matter?

The poll gives a concrete figure for how much interest there is in an online side to GTA 6, even before anything official exists. For a game this size, that level of intent among younger players is a useful signal of where attention will go after launch.

It does not change what is known about the game itself. Until Rockstar says otherwise, the online question stays open.
