How the status checks work

Every 5 minutes a Cloudflare Worker reads these sources:

If a status source reports an incident, we show Problems or Down. If a status page cannot be read, we test whether the service's website responds. A service is only marked Down when both fail; otherwise it shows Checking, because an unreadable status page is not an outage. Changes of state are logged as incidents.

Limits of this site

Official status pages sometimes update late, and our checks run every 5 minutes, so short blips can be missed. Player reports can be noisy when few people report. The official pages linked on each card are the final word.

Why we watch these services for a single-player game

Rockstar describes GTA 6 as a single-player experience with no online mode announced. The game still depends on online services: PlayStation Network and Xbox network for sign-in, licence checks and downloads, and Rockstar's services for its accounts. When any of those struggle at launch, players see errors even though the game itself is offline. See our launch-day guide.

What we store

For each check we keep the time, the state, the response time and a short detail, and we delete checks after 30 days. Player reports keep the service, problem type, time and a salted one-way hash of your IP address. The hash only prevents spam; it cannot be turned back into your address. Nothing else is collected: no cookies, no analytics.

Player reports are anonymous and rate-limited. This site is independent: always check the official status pages for confirmed information.
