Last weekend, Rockstar Games ran into some issues with its online services, making it impossible for many Grand Theft Auto 5 players to play the game's popular GTA Online multiplayer mode. Now it appears those problems have reared their ugly head again, as many users are reporting that they are unable to get online.

The issues appear to be impacting GTA Online and Red Dead Redemption 2, though it's unclear how widespread they are at the time of this writing. The Rockstar Games server status page says that all services are working normally, but there are still many who are saying that they can't connect. It's possible that the GTA Online server issues this week didn't last all that long and we are on the tail end of it, but that's unclear at the time of this writing.

Last weekend's GTA Online server issues could potentially be explained by server overload. Rockstar Games was running a promotion where it was giving away $2 million to GTA Online players for free just for logging into the game. With similar promotions happening in Red Dead Redemption 2's Red Dead Online, it's not surprising that the servers were having trouble. However, it wasn't actually confirmed by Rockstar if that was the issue or not, and it's harder to say what could be causing the problems this time around.

Some may recall that the GTA Online servers in Grand Theft Auto 5 were completely inaccessible around the time the game launched, and thankfully, these server issues have been very minor compared to that debacle. As previously stated, it seems as though the latest problems aren't even necessarily all that widespread and appear to be getting resolved, so fans may even be able to log in and play by the time they read this post.

The problems this time around also don't appear to have resulted in all of Rockstar's services going down, which is what happened last week. So all things considered, it seems this weekend's issues aren't nearly as bad.

We will update this post as soon as it's 100% confirmed that GTA Online and other Rockstar Games services have been restored. In the meantime, fans of Rockstar's titles should still be able to play the single-player portions of the games to pass the time.

Grand Theft Auto 5 is out now for PC, PS3, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
