When does GTA Online take place?
It's kinda timeless, ya know? Technically starts before GTA V's story in 2013, but Rockstar keeps updating it, so it's like it's stuck in a perpetual now.

GTA Online is basically set just before the events of GTA V, so we're talking about a timeline that's very close to 2013 when GTA V was set. That said, with all the updates and expansions, the game's timeline feels like it's constantly evolving, almost paralleling real-time.
GTA Online is fluid; it starts before GTA V (so, before 2013), but honestly, it's perpetual. The updates make it feel like it's happening right now.
