Rockstar is Patching Reported Grand Theft Auto V Account Transfer Issues

After there were reports of players being unable to migrate their progress between generations, Rockstar’s support site released the following response and a subsequent update assure fans that a patch to fix the problem is on its way.

Question: I haven’t played GTA Online since 2013. When I try to transfer to PS4 or Xbox One, it says “No previous Grand theft Auto Online data is associated with your Social Club account.” I then tried to go back and play GTA Online on PS3 or Xbox 360 to verify, but it says the Rockstar services are unavailable. Help!
