Grand Theft Auto 5 Players Unable to Download Update, Can’t Play Online

November 18, 2014 by Jacob Saylor

More issues arise.

Grand Theft Auto 5 came out today for the second time. New versions of the title have been released for the Playstation 4 and Xbox One, which both have a number of amazing, new features. While there haven't been many complaints coming from players fighting their way through the game's single player campaign quite yet, those who have attempted to play online are struggling to find much pleasure in the experience.

We wrote just a few minutes ago that some players were unable to bring their characters over from GTA Online if they hadn't played since 2013 on the Playstation 3 or Xbox 360. Now, it appears that the game's online component is not even accessible for some. A number of players have posted on Rockstar's official forum, announcing that they cannot download the game's first update. This disallows them from playing Online, as everyone has to have the most recent update in order to coexist with others in the game world.

Here's one user's question, which started the main thread:

"I just installed GTA5 on my PS4 and played the story mode for few minutes.
After that i wanted to try the GTA Online mode but it said i need to dowload the update from PSN. Then the notification popped up and said can't download the GTA V update. It stoppes every few second while downloading and have start over…

I restarted the ps4 and still same…"

Rockstar Games is a pretty quality development studio, and we're sure they'll have the issues fixed in no time. That said, can we please get a game release that isn't marred by tons of glitches and bugs? It's getting real old, and many players feel that they shouldn't have to spend $60 on a new game if it's going to be unplayable to any extent.
