First servers down, now the emergency brake: Rockstar has stopped the sale of the PC version of the GTA Remastered Trilogy for the time being.

Last night Rockstar announced via Twitter that they had taken the servers for the Rockstar Games Launcher offline for a short time to carry out maintenance work. But the downtime dragged on and on. Now, suddenly and surprisingly, the sale of the PC version has been temporarily put on hold.

PC version will no longer be sold

A look at the (Rockstar-Shop) shows: Currently, PC players can no longer purchase the Remastered Trilogy. The reasons for this are still unclear, but we will of course keep you up to date on any developments in this matter.

Update 10:00 a.m.: In the meantime, Rockstar has also published a new announcement on the (Server Status Website). So it should still take some time before you can start again:

 

What works, what doesn’t?

In short: Nothing is working at the moment! The maintenance unfortunately affects all areas related to launching, activating and updating your Rockstar games. This also affects the GTA Remastered Trilogy, which probably most annoyed players want to start at the moment.

The email from a support staff member also gives us more information on exactly what the impact of the server downtime is:

  • Authentication: When a Rockstar game is started, authentication must take place successfully, unless you have already wisely switched to offline mode beforehand. Since authentication is currently not possible, games will fail to launch.
  • Downloads: Unfortunately, you probably can’t even start the download of the trilogy or other titles like GTA Online or Red Dead Redemption 2 at the moment. So if you were hoping to at least shovel the game files onto your hard drive, you are also doomed to wait.
    • Cloud Service: Even if you could play, the next problem might not be far away. Because if you rely on the convenient cloud service for your game saves, you wouldn’t have access to your files at the moment either.
    • Store: Good news, at least for your wallet. Your wallet can breathe a sigh of relief because you can’t buy anything in the Rockstar Store anyway. Your account will thank you for it!

    So, what are you going to do with your morning before the coffee gets cold? We’re going to help you fill the void with some cool reading tips. Above all, you might be interested in the bugs and problems that the remakes of GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas are currently still experiencing:
