The term "multiplayer" comes from the phrase "multiple players" and describes a game several people can play together. In some computer games, multiple players can play the same game together by connecting their computers together with a local network or by using the Internet.

The first two editions of GTA for the PC (GTA1 and GTA2) were released with multiplayer support. The most recent three editions for PC (GTA3, GTAVC and GTASA) were not. Various projects have been released or are being developed by fans of the GTA series to add multiplayer gaming to the three most recent editions. Some fans have created other projects to improve the multiplayer systems in the first two editions.
