As expected, Rockstar Games has kept its promise with the GTA Online update going live today. The latest GTA Online update rolled out for the PlayStation 3 first, in order to address an issue that limited the amount of possible concurrent users. The PlayStation Network server issue prevented most players from accessing GTA Online altogether, but that problem has been resolved as of this morning.

The GTA Online update addresses the main issues players have been experiencing since the game went live earlier this week on October 1. One of those main problems is that players were unable to complete the first tutorial mission on both platforms. As a result of all the issues GTA Online has been experiencing since it went live, Rockstar Games has turned off its microtransactions, disabling the option to purchase GTA$ cash packs. Players can however continue earning GTA$ by pulling off Jobs and other profitable gameplay activities – that is, if you can even play.
