Rockstar has released the first gameplay video for Grand Theft Auto 5 online.

The publisher also revealed that the online portion of the game would be available from 1 October, a few weeks after GTA 5's 17 September release date.

The online part will be free to all owners of the game, and Rockstar is saying it will "continue to expand and evolve after its launch".

GTA 5 is gearing up for what it expected to be a record breaking launch next month on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
