  • Adam Kiehl

    Rockstar service is out all over the U.S. right now. Sometimes it will save progress but then it says unable to connect to rockstar servers. I lost a bunch of money thanks to this. Is rockstar going to reimburse me for my troubles? Probably not. Yet they let hackers and modders run servers and ruin paid customers gaming experience. They made how much money off of this game and no dedicated servers or moderators?

    • Roy Gibson

      Is this out for every game system I’m getting files required error message

      • Ryan Dean

        Yes it is out for all systems as far as we know in the us Canada and a lot of other places as well so basically it’s down everywhere

  • Beth Adkins

    Sometimes when I go online nothing is saved from any of my online. I restart it then it back. I don’t know it just started like yesterday

  • Ryan

    The Rockstar online game services are unavailable Right now, please return to GTAV Story mode! It’s been like this for a couple of days now, what do I need to do to resolve this issue!??

  • Lamont Watson

    PLEASE HELP!
    I have had problems on and off for sometime now. Usually when it doesn’t let me online it will say there’s a problem, i will try multiple times to load online doing everything i can and at some point it just takes me to the brightness and privacy policy screen. I accept and it works for a time but it happens very often. I have to setup all of the settings over again and its fine for the most part. But i have weird things happen like after paying $75,000 in game money for the bunker resupply, it shows me the full supplies bar, i’ll get off and when i get back on i have the exact same amount of product but my supplies are just gone. This has happened at least 2x now and I’ve never been reimbursed. This happened just before i started this message actually. Other small things act up as well like after setting up my gun wheel the way i want it, my pistol will constantly change from ap(prefered choice) to the original pistol(upgraded with hollow points) when it definitely shouldn’t; when i change which guns i have available using the gun safe that’s in the ceo office or the M.O.C inside the bunker i put my micro smg away so instead of that being automatically equipped while using a parachute or driving a car i can use the ap pistol, but what actually happens is im given the micro smg BUT the base model with no upgrades instead of my own; and last but not least(this 1 has happened for a longtime and randomly occurs everytime i get on) when i pay for the parachute and its customizations at the ammunation i am still given the original bag and the rainbow chute (without the second btw) when i actually chose the black bag and black chute(and the second) with my crew colors as the smoke. I don’t think im asking too much when i say respectfully I’d like my customizations and more importantly my supplies i pay for. PLEASE, send me help or solutions asap because i will not be signing into online until i am at least given the money for my missing resupplies. Again Please, and Thank You

  • Remember Me?

    I cannot access online. At all. Whether it’s solo, invite only session, crew session and even join friends doesnt work.

    I tried;
    -Going into story mode, accessing online from there Including from the wheel
    -Restarting my console
    -Restarting my router
    -Doing an internet connection test (it’s working perfectly)
    – Having a game invite sent
    -Uninstalling/reinstalling the game
    -Tried signing out of PSN while in story mode and back in again
    -Unlinking my social club account
    -Deleting my crews

    Every single time now, the load page takes exactly 2 minutes of loading to tell me “Timed out locating session”
    2 minutes isnt even half the time it usually takes to load the game. I get no other message anymore, no information just always that alert. I’ve been playing since October 2017 and I’ve never had this problem until noon yesterday. Gta is the only reason I bought my playstation. Please help!

    • MeDiCaTeDmInDX Haze

      just so you know PS4 is a downgrade. I know sony fans dont like to admit it but at some point you have to face reality just look at the tech inside and go from there all will be clear. Also ypu have to have good i ternet to game online or you’ll get put with the rest of the bad servers. Atleast 100mpbs of internet.

    • Kingdrakko

      It’s 10 a month

  • For the past month and a half I have not been able to connect to GTA online. It says rockstar servers are down. Or cannot connect to rockstar social club.

    My internet is working absolutely fine. I can play any other game. Other than GTA Online. And To be honest. Gta is the only reason and only game I play online. I’m wasting $20.00 just so I can watch my screen say Rockstar servers are down. Or cannot connect to Rockstar social club.

    I live in Ohio

    Please email me on what I can do. I just bought a wifi booster and it hasn’t done anything.

    • Frustrated

      Again GTA 5 for Xbox one is saying servers are not down. Been ongoing for 1 month. Come on guys, get your IT department to fix.

    • Robby

      Then the system will load back on and click on gta to open and hope it works for ya! I have to do this every time I log online for gta on XBOX 1…. My buddy who lives not far from me dose almost same steps on PS4

  • Ford

  • There is no connection in Sweden to

    • AyeJay

      It’s the 10th of September and GTA Online is down here in Michigan, United States.

      It’s not working for any of my other friends on Play Station 4 either, some of them are in Canada and other states in the U.S.

      Rockstar’s support page says GTA Online is working for PS4, but like many other connection problems, they’re probably lying about this too.

      I am not pleased with your lies, Rockstar.

    • max sumpter

      gta is down in new york :/

    • elin hansson

      Hej jag har samma fel vet du vad felet är för jag börjar undra om vad som har hänt.

  • Ben

    Rockstar Games please tell us what’s going on with ps4 online servers for GTA 5?

  • Sue

    why cant i play GTA online on September 1, been like it for about 15 minutes.

  • Mikey

    GTA 5 ps4 maintenance is the same length as all platforms i guess.

  • branden

    So, this is not for the GTA online 1.28 update during maintenance on 17 August 2015?

  • Lewis

    I heard 7 hours, is that really correct? How long is Rockstar down for?

  • Ray

    when do gta servers back online in australia?

  • Ron

    Gta 5 is now down for maintence, it’s not for any update or DLC, but rather regular work to servers. Comes backup at 11am uk or 6am EST.

    • Dan

      I saw that tweet too on Rockstart Support, those waking up in the UK on Aug 18 and seeing GTA 5 down for scheduled maintenance should understand that Rockstar confirmed there won’t be a content update once servers come back up in a few hours.

  • Stuart

    Connection glitches off and on today, I hope the server maintenance is directly to fix whatever is going on with GTA Online today.

  • Dan

    To clarify: Grand Theft Auto Online is offline from Monday, August 17 at 11 PM in USA EST. This will mean Tuesday, August 18th for those in the UK from 4AM until 11AM.

  • Shrey

    I am from India when will the serves be down for me

    • Mikey

      GTA V Online servers will be down in India from 8:30am on Aug 18, and come back up in India at 3:30PM.

  • Dan

    Rockstar just informed everyone that GTA Online will be undergoing maintenance on Monday, Aug 17. The GTA V servers are scheduled to go down from 4AM in the UK for a LONG 7 hours.

    • Nathan

      I’m in NY, USA and for me it looks like the grand theft auto servers will go down from 11pm on Aug 16 in EST. Exactly the same time as you, but this is for our region and those in PST will see the GTA maintenance start at 8PM.

  • Nathan

    When will gta be back online? I contacted Rockstar game servers, but no answer.

  • Dan

    GTA Online servers down US as well, PlayStation.

  • Mikey

    Gta 5 servers are down on my ps4, UK morning july 28.

  • Dan

    I see there’s 2K server maintenance today, July 8, but this should only be taking NBA 2K15 offline and not GTA 5, but I’m having problems connecting to GTA Online after the 1.27 / 1.12 PS4 update today. Anyone else?

    • Maddy

      Yep the 2K servers are down today for only NBA 2K, Sid Meier’s Civilization, and Evolve. Only these games should see some sort of problems, not GTA.

  • TObey

    Cant find the rockstar status, gta 5 servers are down in the US.

  • Ken

    I’m getting a message saying rockstar cloud servers are unavailable right now.

  • Lewis

    I got missing vehicles, hope the June 10 patch fixes these problems. Also, are the servers down right now on Xbox One?

  • Mark

    What will the new GTA Online version be after the update today? I know it’s 1.11 on PS4, and a higher version for PS3.

  • Alan

    Is the June 10 DLC live yet? I’m on PC.

  • Mikey

    Cant login to GTA online.

  • Rob

    The GTA PS4 1.11 update should be live any moment, so I guess this is why I just got disconnected. Can anyone else sign in on PlayStation? Problems only just started in UK for me.

  • Dan

    Rockstar is gta v online down?

  • Editor

    Cant get connected, are GTA 5 servers offline? Issues in UK, June 8.
