Grand Theft Auto V has stood the test of time, captivating players with its immersive world for over a decade, for which GTA Online gets most of the credit. But exploring the latest updates can turn to frustration when error messages like "Your profile does not have permission to access GTA Online" appear.

This error mainly affects console users, as accessing online features usually requires an active membership to their platform’s online service. Whether you’re playing on PlayStation or Xbox, you may encounter this error when you lose online access on your respective platform. PC players are safe from this error, as you don’t need an active membership to play GTA Online after purchasing the game.

The best way to resolve the "Your profile does not have permission to access GTA Online" error is to verify your PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass Core (formerly Xbox Live Gold) or Game Pass Ultimate subscription.

If your subscription has expired, you can renew it through your console's store or consider purchasing a subscription code from a retailer.
