Yes, at launch GTA 6 is single-player only. Rockstar's pre-order materials and the PlayStation Store listing describe it as a "single-player experience" starring Lucia and Jason. No online mode has been announced for launch, and Rockstar has not announced a GTA Online for GTA 6 at all. Fans expect one to follow because GTA Online arrived two weeks after GTA V, but that is precedent, not a Rockstar statement.

Rockstar's pre-order materials frame GTA VI's story mode as the product you are buying on November 19. Rockstar has not announced, dated or described any online component; fans expect one to follow because GTA Online launched two weeks after GTA V in October 2013, but that is precedent, not an announcement. Whether a GTA 6 version of GTA Online exists, when it might arrive, and whether progress would carry over from the GTA V version are all questions Rockstar has not answered.
Two protagonists do not make the game co-op. The Extended Look on August 27, 2026 showed switching between Jason and Lucia through a selection wheel offering Solo Jason, Solo Lucia and dual control; the character you are not playing is run by the AI and helps in fights and robberies. Rockstar North co-studio head Rob Nelson has said the switch is "limited by story progression" in some missions. It is single-player character switching, not multiplayer.
