The GTA Online tutorial is broken down into three different parts: introductions, missions, and PvP.
Mall or Nothing & Learning the Ropes
The introduction gives you general guidance on racing, picking outfits, and customizing cars at Los Santos Customs. These two missions are called “Mall or Nothing” and “Learning the Ropes.” Each mission begins automatically. This part can’t be skipped by any means, so you’ll just need to grin and bear your way through it, but it doesn’t take long at all (less than an hour). After this point, you’ll be given the option to free roam, but the tutorial isn’t actually over yet. The next section goes over the basic mission structure.
Missions and PvP in GTA Online Tutorial
While you’re given the option to skip the mission section of the GTA Online tutorial, it is highly recommended you DO NOT skip this section. Not only does the mission tutorial provide a lot of helpful information and unique quests, but it also makes it so that you can play with friends later. The only way to resolve this issue is by creating a brand new character from scratch. If you have no issues with not being able to play with friends, then simply skip it. If you do go through with the missions, it’ll take you anywhere from two to four hours in total to get everything done, ending with the PvP section. Complete PvP and you’re through the entire tutorial.
