GTA Trilogy has just launched less than 24 hours ago globally, and already PC players will have found at least half of that time to be entirely unplayable — and not in the hyperbolic sense.
The Rockstar Games Launcher on PC was taken down for maintenance at roughly 7pm GMT last night, November 11, and are currently offline at the time of writing. This means the GTA Trilogy has been unplayable on PC for more than half of the total time it has been available.
Other Rockstar PC titles are also affected, including Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2. The GTA Trilogy is entirely playable on console however, and San Andreas is even included in Xbox Game Pass.
Services for the Rockstar Games Launcher and supported titles are temporarily offline for maintenance. Services will return as soon as maintenance is completed.

Rockstar’s tweet about maintenance has earned 2.3K replies from frustrated players. Rockstar tweeted an update this morning just before 10am, thanking players for their patience and understanding. Many of the replies were less patient and understanding than you would be led to believe.
We thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to work on restoring services for the Rockstar Games Launcher and supported titles.

We recently spoke to developers at both Rockstar and Grove Street Games to find out how they made the GTA Trilogy.

In the process we also discovered that some of the classic cheats found in the PS2 versions of the game are now removed, however we’ve got a list of San Andreas cheats right here for you to play around with, in both the console and PC version, whenever that is playable again.
