No, GTA Online is not shutting down. Rockstar Games continues to publish new content for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC versions through the rotating Newswire weekly updates. Only the legacy PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of GTA Online were retired (back in December 2021), and that closure does not affect any platform still being sold today.
