Can I play GTA VI offline, and do I need PS Plus or Game Pass?
PS5 lists offline single-player play without a PS Plus requirement. Xbox cloud streaming requires internet access.
Yes, on PS5 you can play GTA VI offline, and you do not need PS Plus for the single-player game.
The PlayStation Store lists offline play as enabled. GTA VI is a single-player game on both consoles, so there is no multiplayer that would need PS Plus or Game Pass. You still need internet to download the game and its updates.
To play offline on PS5:
- Download the game and any updates while you are online.
- If others use the console, turn on Console Sharing and Offline Play under the account that bought the game.
On Xbox, the store listing calls the game single-player but makes no explicit offline promise. Setting the console as your home Xbox is the usual way to use digital games without a connection.
Both stores say some features may need internet access or a Rockstar Games account, without naming them. Xbox Cloud Gaming always needs internet.
