GTA Online not working for some players after patch 1.42

Following patch 1.42 for GTA Online some players are having a tough time launching the game. Here’s what we know about the issues, and how to potentially avoid them.

GTA Online is without a doubt one of the most popular multiplayer games around. But, not being able to log in can seriously affect how much money your character brings in. This can in turn mess up your plans to purchase a sub, yacht, or other high-ticket item, and following update 1.42 in May, some players are experiencing exactly this problem.

Normally this could be chalked up to hiccups following the patch, but there is actually something similar in each case. Every player that’s reported the issue on Reddit and the official GTA forums has had one thing in common: they’re all playing on PS4.

That being said though, there have been some results with simply restarting the game and attempting to log in again, though this isn’t guaranteed to work either. Until Rockstar hopefully fixes the issue themselves, it seems like PS4 players will just have to hop their luck holds out when trying to log in to GTA Online sessions.
