Rockstar game service is not available - you can do that

If you want to play against other opponents online in GTA 5, you need the Rockstar game service. If this is not available, there may be a malfunction. Read in this practical tip what you can do about it.

Rockstar game service is not available - what to do?

• To check if the Rockstar game service is currently unavailable, take a look at this page.
• If the game service is set to "Online" here, the problem may be with you.
• You should therefore run a connection test in your "Network Settings" to ensure that your console is properly connected to the Internet.
• We generally recommend that you connect the console to the Internet using a LAN cable.
• Also check whether a firewall is activated in the router and deactivate it if necessary so that there are no further server problems.
• In many cases it helps if you can enable the correct ports in the PS4 and in the XBOX One. For GTA Online you need the following ports: TCP: 80, 443 & UDP: 6672, 61455, 61457, 61456 and 61458.
• Often it is sufficient to disconnect the router from the power supply for 10 seconds and then try again.
• Contact your internet service provider for further assistance if the problem persists.
