Rockstar Games has begun a phased shutdown of the Social Club service. Users noticed that when they tried to go to the platform's home page, they were automatically redirected to the developer's official website.
Currently, Social Club has lost a significant part of its core functionality, including the ability to view profiles and photos of other community members. The process of shutting down the service began in 2023, when Rockstar began gradually reducing its support.
Why Is Rockstar Social Club Closing?
The Rockstar Games Social Club social platform was launched in 2008 and was completely redesigned in 2012. Throughout its existence, the service has become technologically obsolete, particularly regarding user data security issues. Apparently, the company is preparing a more modern alternative; The release of this alternative may coincide with the release of the long-awaited GTA 6.
When is the GTA 6 Release Date?
The announced release date of GTA VI is planned as May 26, 2026. The game will only be available on new generation consoles (PS5 and Xbox Series X / S).
What Will Replace Social Club?
Although Rockstar has not made an official statement yet, it is estimated that it is working on a new platform to replace Social Club. This new platform is expected to have a more modern interface, improved security features and social features integrated with GTA 6. Thanks to this new platform, players will be able to share their in-game achievements, connect with their friends and participate in special events.
What Will Happen to My Social Club Account?
If you are concerned about your Social Club account, Rockstar is expected to notify you regarding account migration or data transfer. It's important to follow Rockstar's official announcements to avoid losing your progress, in-game purchases, and other data on your existing Social Club account.
