Is GTA Online Down? - How to check

If you want to check if the GTA Online servers are down, there are a number of ways to do it. The first is to check any and all official Twitter and social media accounts for the game. 

Usually, if the servers face a major outage or are down for whatever reasons, these accounts will give out information. Beyond social media, you can also try visiting a site such as Downdetector, which will show you maps of current outages and as well as comments from other users (usually when problems are occurring with the game's servers). If the site shows there are problems and the game is down, the best thing to do is simply wait until they are fixed.
