"Update: Grand Theft Auto Online is out now on Xbox 360 and PS3. The title update weighs in at around 60MB on Xbox 360 and 40MB on PS3. Some users have reported problems signing into the online game, while others say that the online update has interfered with their single-player campaign. Rockstar is investigating the issues and has urged fans to be patient.  Original Story: Grand Theft Auto Online will be available as a GTA 5 title update later today, Rockstar has confirmed. The GTA 5 developer believes that &amp;quot;as a general timeframe&amp;quot;, the update will go live at 7am EST (12pm UK).  GTA Online will take place several months before the single-player campaign, and can be accessed through the game&amp;#039;s character wheel. To prevent &amp;quot;griefing&amp;quot;, user garages and safehouses will be treated as friendly zones, protecting them from thieves and vandals. Furthermore, GTA Online&amp;#039;s microtransactions will be tied into the reputation system, meaning that users will need to earn access to high-end items. Rockstar has, however, promised to address balancing issues as they are encountered, and urges fans to give them feedback on any problem areas. Social Club members, meanwhile, will have access to exclusive items and events, such as the John Marston parent for character customisation and the sawn-off shotgun.  Parental lineage impacts character appearance and starting stats, and can be previewed in real time. GTA 5 is out now on Xbox 360 and PS3.
