Why GTA Online Doesnt Work For You Anymore

A subsection of Grand Theft Auto Online players may have found that the game no longer works for them. Unfortunately there is no remedy for the situation, since developer and publisher Rockstar Games has shut down the servers for specific platforms. As of December 16, 2021, GTA Online is no longer playable on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

GTA Online launched shortly after Grand Theft Auto V’s release in 2013. At this point, GTA Online has become significantly more popular than the game it was initially attached to, and has become something of its own entity. The multiplayer sandbox has survived for 8 years with continuous updates and content drops, whereas GTA 5 has received no significant expansions with its subsequent rereleases on new platforms. Even content featuring GTA 5’s protagonists, such as The Contract, which brought plenty of new songs to the game recently, has been released for GTA Online instead, starring players’ custom characters.

Rockstar Games made the announcement back in June, exactly six months before the PS3 and Xbox 360 servers would go offline. The player base on these platforms have likely been dwindling for a long while, since the industry is now two generations ahead, and the game has undoubtedly begun to outgrow the hardware. The GTA 5 single-player game can, of course, still be played offline, but many Rockstar online services tied to the PS3 and 360 have been shut down. These include website stat tracking and leaderboards for that generation of Max Payne 3 and L.A. Noire as well.

GTA Online Has Outlived Its Original Platforms

For over a year when it originally launched, Grand Theft Auto Online was exclusive to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, since those were the only platforms that GTA 5 could be played on. It would take roughly 13 months for both to come to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and another five months before PC players had a chance to play. GTA Online is still going strong (and is presumably still incredibly profitable), and is expected to come to the new generation of consoles – the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S – in March 2022.

The game has come so far since its original incarnation in 2013, making it a bittersweet ending even though it may be frustrating for those who still played on the PS3 and 360. There appears to be no form of send-off or fanfare for the end of this era of GTA Online, though Rockstar isn’t exactly unfamiliar with such practices. When the new, almost completely broken GTA: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition came out, Rockstar removed the classic GTA games from sale on digital storefronts. The case is a bit different for GTA Online since the game is ongoing, but it’s a bit sad that the game has left its original platforms behind.
