Grand Theft Auto 6 is receiving a software update on PS5, listed as version 01.002.000 with a download size of 1.073 GB. The update comes ahead of the game's November 19 launch.
The file is labeled Update file, while its description reads No Title. Neither label explains what Rockstar has changed.

What the PS5 update confirms
Rockstar has not released patch notes, leaving the update's contents undisclosed. Bug fixes, performance improvements, and other changes have not been detailed.
The PS5 rollout appears to be staggered, so the update may not appear for every player at the same time.
The download should not be treated as a confirmed day-one patch. That description remains an assumption, not a stated purpose from Rockstar.
A matching Xbox Series X|S update has not been confirmed, so the PS5 release does not establish that the same file is available on Microsoft's consoles.
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said during the company's November 9 earnings call that Rockstar had completed development. He also emphasized the company's focus on a technically successful launch.
What the file means for storage
The game's pre-load can require up to 212 GB of storage, depending on the console. That figure describes the broader download requirement, not the size of this PS5 update.
It remains unclear whether the patch increases the game's total storage requirement or replaces existing files. A download size and a final installed size are different measurements, so adding the two numbers would produce an unconfirmed total.
