This page tracks every GTA 6 update as it lands, with its size, platforms and what it changes once that is known. We add each one as it appears and keep the newest at the top.
All GTA 6 updates
| Version | Date | Size | Platforms | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.002.000 | November 13, 2026 | ~1.07GB PS5 · ~2.18GB Xbox | PS5, Xbox Series X|S | Mandatory. No patch notes published. |
Sizes come from console download-queue trackers. We will add a row for each new update, including any day-one patch on November 19.
Update 1.002.000, November 13
The first update arrived six days before launch, reaching players who had already pre-loaded the game. It went out in two waves: roughly half of users first, the rest about 11 hours later, before trackers reported it available to everyone the same day. Preview report
Its entry in the PS5 download queue has no title, and Rockstar published nothing alongside it, so its contents are unknown. At around a gigabyte against a 212GB install, it is a small, targeted patch rather than a large rebuild. Preview report
Full detail: GTA 6's first update is live before launch, and it's mandatory.
Will there be a day-one patch?
Rockstar has not announced one, and has not described 1.002.000 as one. Confirmed
Update 1.002.000 may serve that role on its own. It is also normal for a release of this size to receive a further patch at or just before the midnight unlock on November 19, and several outlets expect one. Treat a launch-night download as likely but unconfirmed, and leave headroom on your drive for it. Rumor / leak
How to check your version
On PS5: highlight Grand Theft Auto VI on the home screen, press the Options button, then choose Information. The version number is listed there.
On Xbox Series X|S: highlight the game, press the Menu button, then Manage game and add-ons, and check the installed version under the game's details.
If an update will not install, or the game refuses to start after one, our pre-load and install troubleshooting guide covers the usual causes, including full drives and stalled queues.
What these updates will not add
They are not GTA 6 Online. Rockstar has confirmed that the multiplayer component is not part of the launch release, so a pre-launch patch is not quietly enabling it, whatever the pre-load files appear to contain. Confirmed
They are also unlikely to change the 30fps target Rockstar confirmed on November 10. Performance modes are announced, not slipped into an untitled patch. Confirmed
