Shock – Grand Theft Auto Online servers are struggling

In news that should surprise not a single living soul, Grand Theft Auto Online is struggling to cope with the colossal demand being put on it by eager gamers.

Just as Rockstar warned would be the case just last week, the internet is awash with reports of failed login attempts, game freezing and progress loss issues.

Rockstar has also confirmed that it is looking into a problem that is crashing the game for some users when trying to enter the first race.

Inevitably, this is leading to very high levels of OUTRAGE and SWEARING. If you’re of a non-nervous disposition and aren’t especially offended by colourful language, then you can check out Rockstar Games’ replies feed on Twitter for a taster.

The game went live earlier this morning via a 59MB Xbox Live and 39MB PlayStation network download. GTA Online can be accessed in the Grand Theft Auto V in-game menu.
