The Rockstar Games Launcher is a digital launcher that is designed for PC games and the developer and publisher of this storefront is Rockstar Games.

Accompanied by “The username or password may be wrong or the account may not exist on the 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 Social Club Services are available”.
In this article, I will tell you how to fix “Online sign in failed. We were unable to fallback to offline sign in” in the Rockstar Games Launcher (Social Club).
Why won’t Rockstar let me sign in?
Rockstar won’t let you sign in when the Rockstar Games services are having problems or there is an issue with your internet.
Find out if Rockstar Games is down—if their services are not fully functional, you have to wait for it.
If your PC contains unopened ports or it is using the wrong DNS servers, you will not be able to sign in online.
A slow internet speed can also result in connection problems.
According to Rockstar Games, the download speed should be 7.5 Mbps and an upload speed should be 1 Mbps.
