GTA Online: How To Get Into A Solo Public Lobby

GTA Online can be a fantastic game, but equally incredibly frustrating if you end up in a session with players who are overly aggressive or griefing you. It’s even more of an issue when certain activities in the game require you to be in some form of public lobby.

This is why players sometimes want to understandably create their own ‘solo’ public lobby so they can enjoy everything the game has to offer, but on your own.

Here’s everything you need to know about how to enter a solo public lobby in GTA Online.

If you’re playing on PS4, PS5, or Xbox consoles the process to get into a solo public lobby is slightly different.

Generally speaking, the most effective method involves messing with your internet connection untils such a point that you are reconnected into a Solo Public Lobby.

Follow these steps

  1. Load into GTA Online, join a public session and then head into a building you own
  2. Unplug your ethernet cable or disconnect from your wifi network
  3. The game should kick you from the session so you do not impact other players
  4. Reconnect your console (either with the Ethernet cable or your wifi)
  5. After a few seconds, the game should place you into your own public lobby.

Do note, there’s nothing stopping the game placing other players into your solo public lobby afterwards, so you may find players will eventually get added to your session.
