Rockstar Games Error Code 6000.87
Last Updated: September 18, 2025
Question: Whenever I attempt to launch the Rockstar Games Launcher, I receive the following error. What can I do to resolve it?
Online sign in failed. We were unable to fallback to offline sign in because you have not previously signed in on this machine. Offline play is only available for accounts that have previously signed in on this machine (with “Remember me” ticked) while connected to the Internet and while Rockstar Games Services are available. #6000.87
Answer: This error occurs when there is a network connection issue between your PC and Rockstar Game Services.
Check the Rockstar Game Service Status
If any of the Rockstar Games Online Services are down, please wait until services resume before attempting to log in again.
Refresh your local profile
If the Rockstar Game Service Status page indicates that all services are Up, there may be an issue with your local profile communicating with Rockstar Games servers. You can refresh your local profile by doing the following:
Start the Rockstar Games Launcher
Click Settings
Click Account Information
Go to “Delete local profile” and click Delete
Sign in again via the Rockstar Games Launcher
Note: The above steps will delete the profile details stored on your computer, and require that you sign in to your Rockstar Games account again via the Rockstar Games Launcher. This will not delete your Rockstar Games account or any saved games. Your local profile details will be recovered when you sign in to Rockstar Games.
Troubleshooting connection issues
If refreshing your local profile does not resolve the error, there may be an issue with your IP configuration:
Check your open network ports
Rockstar Games Launcher requires the following ports to be open:
Port 6672 (UDP)
Port 61455 (UDP)
Port 61457 (UDP)
Port 61456 (UDP)
