Rockstar Games has begun a phased rollout of update 1.002.000 for the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions of GTA VI ahead of its November 19 release. The patch is approximately 1GB in size and is marked as a mandatory download, requiring installation before players can start the game at launch.
This is the first official update for GTA VI, but Rockstar Games has not yet released patch notes, and the existing file changes are insufficient to confirm specific fixes. Available data only shows that "story000-[GameContent]" has changed by approximately 15.75 MiB, and "Levels[Americas]-0" by about 35.75 MiB, with no changes in the size of audio, video, or texture databases.
This update is being rolled out in phases. At the time of this announcement, approximately half of the game owners have already received the patch, with the remaining users expected to receive it later in the day. Some reviewers currently have access to the game, but are restricted by non-disclosure agreements from disclosing any details about the update.
Although the GTA VI game map was previously leaked online, current information does not prove a direct link between this update and the leak. It remains uncertain whether additional updates or a day-one patch will be released before launch, as Rockstar Games has not announced any related plans.
