Rockstar Rolls Out Stability-Enhancing Update For Grand Theft Auto Online
Since Grand Theft Auto Online’s long-awaited heists launched earlier this week, server stability has been rocky. As people flooded to misbehave with friends, congestion and outages permeated the experience.
As part of its work to combat the problems, Rockstar is rolling out a patch. The update, which improves GTA Online stability and includes some additional online and story mode fixes, is available now on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. Xbox One and Xbox 360 updates are coming soon.

Our Take
Given the problems Grand Theft Auto Online had at launch (and the huge number of people that own the game), it’s no surprise the servers were hit hard. It seems that Rockstar is getting things up and running more quickly than last time, though. It won’t belong until you’re committing felonies with your friends.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
