Grand Theft Auto Online patched

Things haven't been running smoothly since Tuesday's initial roll out of Grand Theft Auto Online, and Rockstar Games are attempting to solve the problem with a patch released today.

For PlayStation 3 users, a PlayStation Network server issue was detected that was limiting the amount of possible concurrent users. This was preventing most players from accessing GTA Online altogether and as of this morning, that problem should be resolved.

An Xbox 360 patch is also expected later today to address some of the problems.

There is an issue that is preventing some players from getting through the first tutorial mission across both platforms. Many players have been able to get through this with repeated retries, and Rockstar Games are working on unblocking this for everyone as soon as possible.

For the time being and until things are running smoothly, the developers have disabled the option of purchasable GTA$ cash packs. Players can however keep on earning GTA$ by pulling off Jobs and other profitable gameplay activities rather than purchasing cash packs.

Rockstar Games launched GTA V in September, while the GTA Online component became available this past week.
