How to know if GTA online servers are down?

There are reports of GTA Online servers being down at this time, with many players unable to log on or getting stuck at 90% in the loading process. We have had success connecting in single player by opening the Creator program from the Online menu, then choosing to exit Grand Theft Auto V, then selecting Online and starting an Invite Only session, but Rockstar is working on a fix to make the connection work for all platforms soon.

You can find information on any issues Rockstar Support is aware of by following @RockstarSupport on Twitter, which outlines when they’ve been resolved. Patch notes for GTA Online will also appear there, though unlike many other games, they are rarely taken offline for planned updates, as they are deployed directly into the live environment. Next thing is to check https://support.rockstargames.com/servicestatus, and if it all looks good, also check out Downdetector to see if other gamers are experiencing the same problem.
