Is GTA 6 down, or is it your connection? This page reads the official status pages of Rockstar Games, PlayStation Network and Xbox Live every five minutes and shows what they say. We never call something down ourselves: if a status page cannot be read, it says “status unavailable”.
No outage reported: PlayStation Network and Xbox Live report no problems. The status of Rockstar Games Service Status could not be read at the last check.

Pre-load does not start
Rockstar’s pre-load FAQ gives the conditions. On PS5, digital pre-load begins at midnight local time on 10 November 2026; on Xbox Series X|S it begins globally at 12 a.m. GMT that day. The pre-load needs up to 212 GB of free space, depending on your device. Check that the game is in your library under the account that bought it, and that there is enough free space.
Rest Mode and automatic downloads
For the download to run while you are away, the same Rockstar FAQ says: on PS5, auto-downloads must be enabled and the console must be on or in Rest Mode; on Xbox, automatic updates must be enabled and the console must be on or in Sleep mode.
Error codes
We list an error code only when Rockstar, Sony or Microsoft publish what it means, with their page as the source. For GTA 6 none is published yet. Until then, Rockstar Support and the PlayStation support page for GTA 6 are the places to check.
Everything else for launch day is on our launch hub.
