You’ll encounter all sorts of people when playing GTA Online, and you may not want to hear from all of them, so here’s everything you need to know about how to mute players in GTA Online.

GTA Online has become one of the most popular online multiplayer games ever since its release in 2013. There are various cars, weapons, and missions to try out as Rockstar Games continue to add more content through weekly updates.

The game also provides you with the opportunity to make new friends with online strangers, but not all of them will be fun to interact with. That’s why the game has a feature that allows you to mute these players.
