No, GTA 5 does not have split-screen. The single-player story is solo-only, and GTA Online runs exclusively over the internet on every platform Rockstar has shipped the game on (PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360, PC).

Rockstar dropped local multiplayer after GTA: Liberty City Stories on PSP. Every mainline GTA from IV onward has been single-player offline plus online multiplayer. The Rockstar engine treats character switching in GTA V story mode as a player-controlled cinematic, not a hot-seat hand-off.
If you want to play GTA-style games on a shared screen, you have a few options on modern consoles: split-screen is available in some open-world driving games, and several couch-co-op crime games released since 2020 have filled the niche Rockstar left behind. None replicate the GTA feel.
