What is GTA 6 update 1.002?
It’s the first patch for GTA 6, released before the game even unlocks. Players on Reddit spotted version 1.002 appearing on PS5 on November 13, and it was then reported by outlets including GGRecon, KeenGamer, MovieWeb and tbreak. GTA 6 launches on November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, so anyone who already pre-loaded the game will see this as a small extra download.
How big is the GTA 6 update on PS5 and Xbox?
| Platform | Update size | Status |
|---|---|---|
| PS5 / PS5 Pro | About 1.07 GB | Reported by PlayStation Game Size on X, staged rollout |
| Xbox Series X|S | About 2.18 GB | Reported by KeenGamer, unconfirmed |
| Xbox Cloud Gaming | No download | Cloud streams always run the latest version |
That’s tiny next to the up-to-212 GB pre-load covered in our GTA 6 pre-load time and file size guide. The PS5 patch is about 0.5% of the full download.
How long will the update take to download?
About 3 minutes on PS5 on a 50 Mbps connection, and about 6 minutes for the reported Xbox size.
| Connection speed | PS5 (1.07 GB) | Xbox (2.18 GB, reported) |
|---|---|---|
| 25 Mbps | About 6 min | About 12 min |
| 50 Mbps | About 3 min | About 6 min |
| 100 Mbps | About 1.5 min | About 3 min |
| 300 Mbps | Under 1 min | About 1 min |
How we worked it out: we converted each size to megabits (1 GB = 8,000 Mb) and divided by the line speed, so 1.07 GB at 50 Mbps is 8,560 Mb ÷ 50 = about 171 seconds. Real downloads run slower when servers are busy, so grab it before launch night.
What does the GTA 6 update change?
Rockstar hasn’t said. There are no official patch notes for version 1.002. Some players are digging through the files, but anything they claim is unconfirmed, and it may spoil parts of the story. We’ll add Rockstar’s notes here if they publish any.
Why hasn’t the GTA 6 update appeared for me?
It’s rolling out in stages. Reports say roughly half of eligible PS5 players got it first and the rest about 11 hours later. To check yourself:
- PS5: highlight GTA 6, press Options, then choose Check for Update.
- Xbox Series X|S: highlight GTA 6, press the Menu button, open Manage game and add-ons, then Updates.
