Rockstar released the official gameplay video for Grand Theft Auto Online, which will launch Oct. 1 and is free with every copy of Grand Theft Auto V, which releases Sept. 17 on Xbox 360 and PS3. It's been a major focus in the development process.

Players will be able to work cooperatively to complete missions, and participate in activities like golfing, tennis, driving around and traditional online modes. A content creator lets you create your own races as well as deathmatches. Money earned from completed jobs can be spent on character customizations and even an apartment to hang out with friends at. New characters and missions can be accessed, and Rockstar is promising to create additional content to keep things exciting and fresh.

The online video has been viewed more than 2 million times on YouTube since it published a day ago. Gamers were upset when Grand Theft Auto V was delayed earlier this year, but the long wait may be worth it.
