Rumor: GTA 6 would already be getting a 1 GB update on PS5

PS5 players who pre-loaded the game would be seeing a new download of about 1 GB, six days before launch. Rockstar has published no patch notes.

This is a rumor or a leak: Rockstar has not confirmed it, and it may turn out to be wrong.

What is being said

The update was spotted by players and shared on X on November 13.
It would weigh about 1.07 GB and be required even after a complete pre-load.
Its content is unknown: it could be part of a launch-day patch, which is not confirmed.
Several sites give it the version number 1.002.000, based on PlayStation store data; Rockstar has not confirmed it.
It would be rolled out in two waves: about half of players first, the rest around 11 hours later.
Some sites say it is also arriving on Xbox Series X; others only mention PS5.
The game would now require PS5 system software 14.22; sites disagree on whether this is a change from the previous requirement.
According to dataminers, it would mostly touch story and map files, while audio, cutscenes and textures would stay the same.
Rockstar has published no patch notes, so what it changes is unknown.
