GTA Online players react to the ongoing PlayStation Network outage
A major PlayStation Network outage is bound to create dissatisfaction among many players.
An X user, @BatumHicks, tagged PlayStation in a post and asked them to fix the servers:
This seemingly shows their frustration for not being able to play the game this weekend.
Another X user @MarauderGaming0 expressed sadness for not being able to play games like Grand Theft Auto Online:
Are GTA Online servers down as well?
According to the current GTA Online server status, the servers are working perfectly fine, leaving PlayStation to handle the issue.
On February 8, 2025, the PlayStation Support account @AskPlayStation acknowledged the ongoing network outage. Instead of providing an estimated time for the issue to be resolved, they guided players to check the PSN server status.
This suggests that PlayStation could be working to fix the network issue as soon as possible.
If PlayStation servers are back up and players are still unable to log in to Grand Theft Auto Online, it is recommended to turn off the internet adaptor and turn it on after 10 minutes for a soft reboot.
