Rockstar Continues To Resolve Grand Theft Auto Online Issues, Lost Items Under Investigation
Rockstar updated its support site this afternoon to let players know that it resolved instability issues that appeared in the PlayStation 3 version of the game this morning. The update also lets players know that Rockstar is investigating reports of lost characters, items, apartments, cars, progress, and in-game money. You can check out the full text of the update below.
We experienced some instability on PlayStation 3 around 11:00 AM ET and service was restored at 12:30 PM ET. Another issue was seen on both platforms just before 4:00 PM ET and was resolved shortly after. We have not forgotten about players who reported (and who continue to report) issues with lost characters, items, apartments, cars, or in-game money.

Our Take
I appreciate the efforts Rockstar is going through to make sure Grand Theft Auto Online is running smoothly, and I also appreciate the frequent updates being offered on Rockstar's website. I understand people's frustration over the game not working properly, but I get a genuine sense that Rockstar is doing everything they can to get it working.
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.
