Grand Theft Auto Online, launching one month after the base game in October 2013, didn’t get off to a great start. Servers weren’t able to handle the initial player load for the first few days while stability issues were sorted out during its first few weeks online. As a form of player appreciation, a “Stimulus Package” of $GTA500,000 was offered to those affected by launch troubles one month after release.

Nevertheless GTA Online was an ambitious project from the get-go and went on to become one of last-gen’s most unforgettable multiplayer experiences. I play GTA 5 and i love it so i'm not suprised it was voted best multiplayer. What do you think?
