Following the highly successful release of Grand Theft Auto V Online yesterday, we know you guys have had a lot of fun with the title right? After many complaints of the initial rollout, Rockstar Games releases an official statement regarding the failed release of GTA V online thanking fans for their purchase and continued support.
With the online department broken (literally) and only one choosing of hair in the game for the brothers, we’ve been rather frustrated these past 30 hours since its launch to the Xbox Live and PlayStation Network communities.
Thank you everyone for continuing to bear with us since yesterday’s initial roll out of Grand Theft Auto Online – we’re aware that a variety of technical difficulties have made it difficult to get access and that the experience has been a bit less than smooth for many of you who jumped in straight away, so here are a few updates as of this afternoon to keep you all apprised.
After the jump, you can view the full press release of the mini patches that have been updated on PlayStation 3. Xbox 360 users will have to wait this one out a little longer.
- For PlayStation 3 users, a PlayStation Network server issue was detected that was limiting the amount of possible concurrent users. This was preventing most players from accessing GTA Online altogether and as of this morning, that problem was resolved.
- There is an issue that is preventing some players from getting through the first tutorial mission across both platforms. Many players have been able to get through this with repeated retries, and we are working on unblocking this for everyone as soon as possible.
- This morning, we experienced some instability across the GTA Online services which is affecting even people who have progressed beyond the tutorial mission. We are identifying these issues now and are working to restore stability for users as soon as possible.
- For the time being and until we have been able to get everybody access to GTA Online and things are running smoothly, we have disabled the option of purchasable GTA$ cash packs. Players can however keep on earning GTA$ by pulling off Jobs and other profitable gameplay activities rather than purchasing cash packs.
