GTA Online for PS3/Xbox 360 shutting down December 16th, 2021

[Black-Dragon96]

Ahh R* Games. They can rerelease 20 year old games, but they cant keep their latest game on the platform it was originaly released on.

What are some ways to spend money ($2B+) before shut down in December?

Off the top of my head: RDR2 still resets certain settings regardless of the config file, Avatars are still broken on SC, they removed their forums and refuse to fix these issues that have been for months. But hey, let's celebrate DRM on 3D era games, who cares if their current products have broken features, right?

I hope after delaying E&E to march 2022 Rockstargames not delaying closing and shutting down GtaOnline Servers on PS3/Xbox 360 , I hope they shutdown servers as they said in  December,2021 

[sutalu]

I don't know if is already closed, but the statistics on Social Club for GTA Online of PS3 are gone

 

At least it seems that GTA Online on PC (the platform where I play now) has less lag.

In the infamous words of Sonny Crockett... “Well, we had one hell of a run didn’t we partner?” (In this case the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 years.)

 

 

I know it’s not Vice City but I thought it was fitting.

360 is still up for now although I got a splash screen about it shutting down on the 16th.  Enjoy it if you can.

PS3 is still up, just played 5 minutes ago (5:20 AM CET)

 

Only Social Club stats were deleted yesterday.

07:30 AM CET PS3 servers are still up. Just won my last ever race on that console lol.

 

I wonder if they will publish a title update that removes online files and settings from PS3 and Xbox 360 versions.

[Valiant ENT CEO]

Can they delete all the rank 8,000's?

Why would they? Everyone will be removed any time now lol.

 

Btw. 2 PM (14:00) CET and PS3 is still up and found a 16 player lobby right away.

[Quinn_flower]

Lol r* can’t commit to their own server shutdown date.

[Insoluble Fiber]

The option of choosing to view ps3 character has been omitted. Safe to say the shutdown has been implemented 

[lol232]

Still nothing, I can play GTA O just fine.

[Cavot]

Well, it appears the servers have finally gone dark. End of a very long era for that console generation of GTA V. 

[Magic_Al]

Here was someone's live stream of the end. 

 

[Standard Deluxe 59]

The end of an era, I'll raise a toast to that. 

[Filip]

Sad. Long live the old gen community.

 

Old gen = original GTA V and GTA Online before the futuristic add-ons.

 

It is the end of the most important era in the history of Grand Theft Auto.

 

Thankfully, we have next-gens left. See you around guys

Where's the moment it actually gets shut down mid-play though? All the way until the end the guy is on.

[Black-Dragon96]

Allways wanted to get an old gen console and try out oldgen gta online just for sh*ts and giggles.

Well never got to do it and considering that R* did push it of the cliff now I will never get to experience where it all started.

[MayoChiki]

apology for poor english

 

when were you when old gen dies?

 

i was sat at home eating dorito when phone ring

 

‘old gen is kill’

‘no’

IDK it did happen on the stream but now it ends even before the save error appeared and he played a long time after that.

[TheOriginalGunslinger]

Thankfully GTA IV Multiplayer servers haven’t been touched.

 

Spoiler

Yet. It’s gonna be a sad day for IV OGs when that happens.

I think it has something to do with GTA IV MP being mostly something that almost entirely Sony/MS hosts, GTA Online is something Rockstar mostly hosts.

One classic saying goodbye to another...

 

 

(Though I recently used it for RDRO once no update was announced, lol).

Didn't finish story as I'm taking my time, but I'll bitch & moan about "sneaky way" been kinda broken... I like to try out and do missions in a sneaky way using non-op weapons & vehicles, but in every mission where you can do sneaky so far, guards are up in arms after 'strange & dumb' situations (triggered in another room or level, things like that) - I hope it's more bug then 'design', and they will fix some of them 

 

Most dumb was prep with lawyer in his backyard, as I got there and didn't even reach green grass of lawyers BBQ yards some bugged-out shaking lady was confronting me cursing, dropping cigarettes everywhere (drugs are bad lady, mkay)... as soon as I saw first guard around the corner, with nasty lady on my back, I was dead.

The stealth mechanics are truly atrocious in this game and would have made for much more interesting gameplay if they actually allowed some creativity other than spamming snacks and body armor after taking out 400 waves of spawns before getting to the objective

I dropped over six million on a new building, garage and vehicle (Buffalo STX) and the MkII is still the best way to do missions...? What's the point of armour when I am too far away and hovering for them to hit me? What's the point of Machine Guns if I have Missiles? What's the point of performance upgrades when the MkII can fly?

The OPMkII is where Rockstar well and truly jumped the shark and ruined online forever
