Short answer
Reported, unconfirmedPress reports say GTA 6 got its first update, version 1.002, on November 13, 2026: about 1.07 GB on PS5 and about 2.18 GB on Xbox Series X|S, rolled out in stages. Rockstar hasn’t published patch notes or called it a day-one patch. Let it install before November 19.
The detail
What is reported: KeenGamer and Polygon say the update appeared on consoles that had pre-loaded the game, and that PS5 players received it in waves, with roughly half getting it first.
What Rockstar has said: nothing yet. It hasn’t published notes for 1.002 or confirmed more updates before launch. Lists of supposed changes circulating online come from people digging through game files; we don’t report them.
What to do: leave automatic updates on and the console in Rest Mode or Sleep, and keep some free space beyond the 212 GB base download.
