Rockstar Games have released a new pre-launch update for Grand Theft Auto VI on Playstation 5 and XBOX Series X|S. We’re just one week away from release but Rockstar are still finalising the game with patches even before we’ve got our hands on it.
Update 01.002.000 released at around midday UK time for some users on the PlayStation network who have already completed the initial pre-load download.
However, as reported by @PlaystationSize on X, only 50% of users received the update, with the other 50% expected to receive the update within the next 11 hours (midnight UK time on November 14th). So there’s no need to worry if you aren’t seeing the download just yet.
The roughly 1GB sized update affects the files labelled “story000-[GameContent]” and “Levels(americas)-0”, as reported by @iGrandTheftAuto on X. In terms of PlayStation firmware, the required version to play remains 14.22.00.00.
Given that it’s only 1GB in size, you won’t have to redownload the entire 200GB+ game again. That said, there might be another patch come out before Thursday. We’ll keep you updated if there is any more updates you need to download before the game unlocks at midnight in your time zone.
UPDATE: 4pm GMT – An update has since gone live for XBOX users. It comes in at around 2.2GB on both XBOX Series X|S consoles.
