In a straightforward answer, YES, you can play GTA Online solo, even in 2025. Despite there is no more additional content for the single player campaign in GTA 5, Rockstar Games never hesitated to bring brand new content for GTA Online regularly, even today. The game features missions, quests, heists, and many more which mainly focus on co-op gameplay.
However, after the Further Adventures in Finance and Felony DLC, players started engaging in solo gameplay as well in GTA Online. Players initially thought that making loads of money and buying property is the only way to play GTA Online alone. But there are many missions and heists, which you can pull off all on your own.
Many players opt to play solo because of other random players doing massacre in their lobbies. If you want to stay away from them, all you need to do is to start a Closed Friend Session and that’s it. You can start playing the game because you don’t need to invite any friends into your lobbies.
Most of the missions in GTA Online are focused on co-op gameplay. Even almost all the heists need at least two players to complete. However, there are two heists named The Cluckin’ Bell Farms Raid and The Cayo Perico Heist, which you can play solo without any hassle. Not only that, if you want to play GTA Online solo, then you can try out Contact Missions, Gunrunning Business, Salvage Yard, and many more.
