How to possibly fix the Xbox Live down issue to be able to log into GTA Online servers?
Players should note that GTA servers only work as long as Xbox Live is functioning. Any sort of Xbox Live down issue could prohibit them from logging in to Rockstar Games’ server as well. This usually happens because of some error in their servers. However, the following tricks should help you as soon as the servers are back up:
Method 1: Restart your Xbox console
First and foremost, you should try restarting your Xbox One or Xbox Series X/S consoles.
Method 2: Restart GTA 5 Online
Once you reboot the console, try re-opening GTA Online. This should eliminate any issues in the game files stored on the hardware. If it still shows an Xbox Live down error, try restarting it too.
Method 3: Clear the console’s cache

- Turn off your Xbox One/Xbox Series X|S console by pressing and holding down the Xbox button for 10 seconds.
- Unplug the hardware from the wall and remove the power cable from it for 10 seconds.
- Unplug the Ethernet cable for 10 seconds (if applicable)
- Replug everything
- Turn On the Xbox console by pressing the power button
While all of the aforementioned methods should help you log in to GTA V servers, none of them will work till Xbox fixes its side of the issue. As of writing, Xbox Support is working to get this fixed as soon as possible.
