The Rockstar Games Launcher is a software platform created by Rockstar Games to sell and launch their PC games.
It enables users to browse, purchase, and download games from Rockstar’s library, such as Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto.
Some users have reported having trouble connecting to the launcher, while others have reported issues like freezing or unresponsiveness.
These issues have been reported by players on forums and social media platforms.
A common error that players face is error code 1002 in Social Club.
