When GTA5 came out all I ever heard about it was it being “online” which turned me off of the series completely. Well the game launched without an online component. So at launch, it shouldn’t be talked about it being an online game. I purchased it way back on launch for Xbox 360, and that much later on PC for sale. Never played the online part, not interested in that. The single player campaign is pretty fun though, especially the character Trevor. No spoilers (in case you don’t know much about details).

I looked it up, since I wasn’t sure, it looks like online launched about two weeks after the single player game. But it also was console exclusive for two years. When it came out for PC is when it actually began to catch my attention, and it launched on PC as both GTA5 and Online. So that’s probably where my confusion came from. I already hadn’t played GTA4 so it wasn’t high on my list to investigate further. It’s funny I looked into GTA4 and GTA5 support on the Steam Deck. GTA4 says playable and online reviews say it works well. GTA5 says unsupported but online reviews say it also works great, but you can’t play it online. So both are options for me. The stories and single player is definitely what interests me, so maybe someday.
