Are GTA Online Servers Down?

As of February 8, 2025, GTA Online servers are currently inaccessible for many PlayStation players.

Aside from not being able to play GTA Online on PlayStation, here are several other services affected by the global outage:

• Gaming and Social: Other multiplayer games and social features that require PSN will not be accessible.
• Account Management: Users might have problems logging in, managing, or creating new accounts.
• PlayStation Store: The platform’s shops and the contents from it won’t be accessible.
• PlayStation Video: Users might experience issues using the streaming services.

As of now, Sony has not provided a specific timeline for the restoration of PSN services. Historically, similar outages have lasted several hours, but the duration can vary depending on the underlying cause. Sony has assured users that they are addressing the situation and will restore services promptly.

It is advisable to wait for Sony’s announcement that the servers are active before accessing GTA Online on the PSN to avoid potential account issues that might arise. This might also be a good time to dive back into story mode and hang out with Michael De Santa, Trevor Philips, and Franklin Clinton.
