GTA Online Server Down, When will the GTA Servers be Online Again?

GTA Online Server Down

As of  Today September 21, 2024, many players are having trouble with GTA Online servers around the world. They are seeing error messages like “Rockstar Games online services are unavailable” or “files needed to play GTA Online could not be downloaded.” It seems the servers are facing problems due to ongoing DDoS attacks.

These attacks are likely from a group against the new BattlEye anti-cheat system. Right now, players can't fix the issues themselves, but they should wait for Rockstar Games to resolve the problem. In the meantime, there are a few steps players can take to try and restore their connection to the game.

Online Server Status 

Before trying to fix any problems, it’s a good idea to check if the GTA Online servers or Rockstar services are working. You can find out their status by using an official link that shows if the servers are up and running. This will help you know if the issue is on your side or if the servers are down for everyone.
