Grand Theft Auto VI has received its first update, version 01.002.000, ahead of its worldwide launch on November 19, 2026. The GTA VI day-one update is being distributed in stages, meaning it isn’t available to all players at the same time.
According to the PlayStation Game Size account on X, the update is currently rolling out to the first 50% of users. The remaining 50% are expected to receive the patch approximately 11 hours later. Details about the changes included in the update haven’t been shared.
GTA VI is scheduled to launch on Thursday, November 19, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The game will unlock at midnight local time in each region, allowing players to access it as their respective time zones reach the release date.
The game takes players back to Vice City, set in the fictional state of Leonida, with Jason and Lucia serving as the two main protagonists.
The standard edition of GTA VI is priced at $79.99, while the more expensive Ultimate Edition includes exclusive vehicles, weapons, and apparel for use in story mode.
Digital pre-loading began on November 10 for players who pre-ordered the game on either console. The initial download is approximately 210 GB, although the final installation sizes differ between platforms.
On PlayStation 5, GTA VI requires approximately 212 GB of storage once installed. The Xbox Series X|S version takes up slightly more space, exceeding 225 GB. Players planning to download the game ahead of launch will need to make sure they have enough free storage available.
