According to u/Average_Tnetennba, when launching the game, the Rockstar Launcher refused to run when it was blocked in their firewall. If you were thinking about download the new Rockstar Games’ launcher, then you might want to hold off for the moment as it appears the new launcher makes the game an always-online title, including the singleplayer.Īccording to a Reddit post shared over on r/pcgaming, it appears that many users have run into an issue with the new launcher apparently including two levels of online checking now. It should also be noted that Rockstar had previously gone on the record with press stating that the issue was a bug and not a change to GTA5's DRM. This is great news as players who want to enjoy the singleplayer without having to stay connected can now do so without any issues.

Rockstar reached out to us to let us know that the issue keeping people from being able to play Grand Theft Auto V offline has been resolved and users should be able to play without any issues now.
