Grand Theft Auto 5's multiplayer mode, GTA Online, is available on multiple platforms, including the PlayStation 4 and 5. Accessing the popular multiplayer title on these consoles is usually quite easy, but it's not something a lot of players can do at the moment. As such, one may wonder if they can't access the title because of their own internet connection.
The reason gamers can't play Grand Theft Auto Online or use online services on the PS4 and PS5 is that the PSN servers are down. PlayStation has also acknowledged on X that users may be facing problems preventing them from playing certain games. That said, no clear indication has been provided as to when the servers will be fixed.
PlayStation Network servers down: What GTA players need to know

The PlayStation Network outage has potentially prevented millions of GTA Online players from accessing the game. As mentioned, no clear window has been provided officially as to when this PSN server outage will be fixed. As of February 8, 2025, 11:28 am UTC, the servers are still down.
Back on October 1, 2024, they went out in a similar manner, and that outage lasted for around seven to eight hours. It has already been longer than that. But, since Sony is "working to resolve the issue as soon as possible," PlayStation users might not have to wait long to play GTA Online again.
That said, there is no clear way to tell exactly when the PlayStation servers will be up and running again.
What can GTA Online players on PlayStation do in the meantime?
In the meantime, those affected can keep checking the PSN Service Status website at frequent intervals to see if the issues persist or have been fixed.

Although the website mentions that users might have difficulty launching games (due to the outage), users can play Grand Theft Auto 5 story mode, as it can be accessed without an internet connection. That being said, it should be noted that one still needs a PSN account to play games on PS4 or PS5.
As for PC and Xbox consoles, Rockstar's Service Status website shows that GTA Online server status is fine from their end, so there shouldn't be such problems on these platforms.
