Many gamers are eager to play GTA Online<\/a>, as there are plenty of new updates and modes<\/a> arriving over the next few months. However, you might find an error that says \u201cFiles required to play\u201d or something similar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s related to your internet settings or firewall. We\u2019ll show you how to resolve it for both PC and console.<\/p>\n\n\n

  1. On Computers<\/h2>\"How

    PC Grand Theft Auto Online players have it easy. You can simply head to the Firewall settings in Windows Defender. When you open the advanced settings, you\u2019ll see a section that says Outbound Rules. If you see the file GTA5.exe or anything related to it is blocked, you\u2019ll need to select \u2018Allow\u2019 to make it active again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    If this doesn\u2019t work, try restarting your computer and router. You know, switch it off and on.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

  2. On Console<\/h2>\"How

    If you\u2019re playing on Xbox or PlayStation, you\u2019ll need to put a bit more work into it. As the previous and current generation consoles work differently, you\u2019ll need to head into the DNS settings for each of them. Once you locate it, you need these details:<\/span><\/p>\n

    – Primary 84.200.69.80
    \n<\/span>– Secondary 84.200.70.40<\/span><\/p>\n

    When you\u2019ve saved it, restart your console and ensure it remains the same. Load up GTA V and see if it\u2019s worked.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ol><\/div>
