Troubleshooting

How to fix Rockstar Games not working

Rockstar Games is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

Your browser tries to reach rockstargames.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.

Restart the Rockstar Launcher and Game
Close the game and open Task Manager with Ctrl+Shift+Esc; end the launcher and game process there. Start the launcher again and launch the title from Library. This clears stuck sessions before you change any settings or reinstall anything.
Reconnect Your Social Club Account
Open the launcher and use the profile menu to sign out of Social Club; then sign back in with the same email and password you use for the game. Complete any verification prompt in the browser before you return to the launcher. A stale session can block online features while single-player still opens.
Verify Installed Rockstar Files
In the launcher, open Settings > My installed games and use Verify Integrity on the title; let the scan finish before you launch. Re-download any files the scan reports as damaged, then test the game again. This catches corrupted install files that cause crashes or failed launches.
Flush DNS for Rockstar Sign-In
If the launcher reports it cannot connect, open Command Prompt as administrator and run ipconfig /flushdns; then restart your router and PC. Test on a wired connection, because packet loss breaks sign-in and session handshakes more than low speed does. Keep the wired test in place until you know whether the problem follows your network.

While Rockstar Games is down: what to use instead

Story Mode If GTA V or Red Dead Redemption 2 is installed, you can open the single-player campaign and play that while GTA Online or Red Dead Online will not connect.
Steam library Start another installed Steam game when the Rockstar Games Launcher will not sign in.
Epic Games Store library If your copy came from Epic, launch a different installed game there instead of retrying the online session until it clears.
Console library On PlayStation or Xbox, open a downloaded game from your library and let the game sit until its connection works again.

Same time

Problems at the same time as Rockstar Games

Since 27 October, Rockstar Games's only spike in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.

When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

During the latest spike

Rockstar Games: Tue 27 Oct, 23:53 to 28 Oct 00:08

About

What happens when Rockstar Games goes down

Rockstar Games is the publisher behind Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption, and players rely on its launcher and online modes to get into GTA Online and Red Dead Online with friends. An outage can block sign-in, leave a launcher update stuck, stop matchmaking, or drop your session, so you lose access to the game world and progress tied to it.

Sign-in errors tend to hit first. Launcher updates stall or the app throws a connection error, so the game drops to offline mode. In GTA Online you may sit on a loading screen or lose a session mid-mission, while Red Dead Online shows the same disconnects and failed joins. Problems are often partial and regional; one platform can fail while another works, and some players connect while nearby players cannot sign in.

Questions

Rockstar Games FAQ

Is Rockstar Games down right now?

The status at the top of this page shows whether user problem reports for Rockstar Games are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. It does not ping, probe, poll or monitor the service itself; the count comes from reports other people send. If the game fails for you, load another site and switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data; restart the game or launcher, then test the same account on another device.

Why does GTA Online say Rockstar Games services are unavailable?

That message means the game cannot reach the account and session services it needs for online play, so it drops you back to story mode or the loading screen. Try a full restart of the game and console or PC, then check whether the launcher or Social Club sign-in is also failing. If that works, your password is fine and the game session is the likely failure.

Can I play GTA V or Red Dead Redemption 2 story mode while the service is down?

Usually you can play story mode if the game and launcher are already signed in and your platform is set to allow offline play. Online features and cloud saves can still fail, and a stuck sign-in screen can block you before the game opens. Restart the launcher in offline mode if it offers that option, or use the platform account that already owns the game.

Why can't I sign in to Social Club or the Rockstar Games Launcher?

A stale launcher session or a blocked network can stop sign-in, while a rejected password points to the account itself. Try a private browser window first; if the password is rejected, reset it and sign back in on the launcher. If two-step verification is on, use a current authenticator code or a backup code.

Why is my Shark Card or Gold Bar purchase missing in GTA Online or Red Dead Online?

Purchases can lag while the platform store and the game account sync, and a full restart of the game often makes the balance appear. Check the receipt in your platform store and confirm you are signed into the same Rockstar account that owns the game. If it is still missing, keep the receipt and contact the store where you bought it.

How we track Rockstar Games

The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Rockstar Games, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Rockstar Games, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.

When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Rockstar Games doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
