Rockstar releases a new GTA Online update, but only for some players

While fans await new information about Grand Theft Auto 6 from Rockstar Games, the developer just released a brand new GTA Online update today, January 21, 2025. Unlike other patches, this one isn’t available for everyone, but only for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S users. This means that PS4, Xbox One, and PC users won’t see any update to be downloaded today.

Read on to learn more about the new GTA Online update released today by Rockstar Games.

New GTA Online update for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S: Everything known so far

The new GTA Online update only takes a few MBs of storage on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. According to Rockstar Games Support, here’s what the new patch does:

  • Fixed a set of issues due to which the game used to crash when playing it
  • Fixed an issue that used to crash the game when playing “Gather Intel”, The Cayo Perico Heist on the Xbox Series X|S console
  • Fixed an issue that used to crash the game when playing “Pac Man” mission on the Xbox Series X|S console

This is not the first time that Rockstar has sent out a patch exclusively for current-gen consoles. It recently added a brand new El Strickler Military Rifle, making it accessible only to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S users.

However, PS4, Xbox One, and PC gamers are still getting weekly updates, like the recent one released on January 16, 2025.
