GTA 5 PS5 PlayStation 5 PlayStation 4 Rockstar 1

GTA 5 may be nearing its tenth anniversary (!!!), but Rockstar is continuing to optimise the title. A new update for the PlayStation 5 and PS4 has deployed this week, and it bundles in a number of optimisations and improvements, including a motion blur slider on Sony’s new-gen console and even faster loading times. There are also improvements to the DualSense’s adaptive triggers, which were too strong when driving the Grotti Turismo Classic.

Many of the issues are small bug fixes, like GTA Online friends appearing as contacts in Story Mode, which obviously shouldn’t happen. There have also been a number of bugs squashed, relating to crashing and weapons disappearing in the shooting range. All in all the patch notes aren’t tremendously large, but at this point in GTA 5’s lifespan we wouldn’t necessarily expect them to be – the developer’s spent the best part of a decade polishing this title.
