PS5 Update: The massive 1.64 patches for Rockstar’s unstoppable sandbox release, Grand Theft Auto 5, is now available for about 5.3GB and add a tonne of new content, features, and quality-of-life updates.
The most notable change is introducing new story content to GTA Online; if you’re interested in exploring this, you can find out How to Start the Los Santos Drug Wars by clicking the provided link. However, that isn’t the only thing that’s been added.
Eight new vehicles, including the’verflöd Entity MT, which Hao’s Special Works can upgrade on PS5, and a new business, the Acid Lab, are available once the First mentioned earlier Dose missions in GTA Online have been completed.
And there are many new fashion accessories and body art to choose from. Furthermore, PS5’s Fidelity Mode now features ray-traced reflections, and the console has received several other improvements to enhance the user experience.
These include the option to sort your iFruit smartphone’s contact list and the ability to perform previously unobtainable tasks in Invite Only lobbies. To make the economy of GTA Online’s multiplayer mode more stable, Rockstar has increased the payouts of some businesses.
You’ll find the complete patch notes down below, but we’re still curious if they’ll be enough to get you to come back to Los Santos. Please share your thoughts in the space provided below.
