GTA Online is currently unavailable on PlayStation consoles, including the PlayStation 5 and, most likely, the PlayStation 4 as well. The reason for this is not due to a Rockstar Games server outage but a global PlayStation Network blackout.
The root cause of this outage is currently unknown, although some fans are connecting it to a PlayStation update released a while ago.
