Rockstar Games Social Club pulled offline ahead of GTA 6

The Rockstar Games Social Club is no more. Rockstar announced today that its online platform will be closing down later this month.

The Rockstar Social Club was widely used by GTA V players, as it allowed people to create their own ‘Crews' for easy team-ups in GTA Online. The Social Club would also track achievements and allow users to share custom missions and races for GTA Online.

It is unclear exactly why Rockstar is shutting down the social club, but it likely has everything to do with the upcoming launch of Grand Theft Auto 6. While GTA Online was popular in GTA 5, it did have its issues, such as a lack of protection against cheats. It seems likely that Rockstar will debut a new system for GTA 6, with increased security and cross-platform features so those on Xbox and PlayStation can team up.

Rockstar has not yet made any public announcements regarding GTA Online in GTA 6. Grand Theft Auto 6 is due to release in May 2026.
