Grand Theft Auto V update improves loading times and specific features on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S — full patch notes

Squeeze those triggers.

Those are the highlights for most players here, as those versions just recently launched. They’re off to a good start too: GTA 5 is the second-largest digital launch of the year in the U.K. Of course, they’re not perfect, and a whole section of the patch notes is devoted to them. Specifically, an instance of the PlayStation 5 DualSense controller’s adaptive triggers needed adjusting, and the Xbox Series X/S had a number of audio issues that are now fixed. A motion blur slider for both versions was added as well.

Additional fixes for the last-gen versions of the game are also part of the update. You’ll find the complete patch notes listed below, divided by generation.
