However, as the dev team releases this patch, they will leave out several players. This scenario is attributed to the fact that Grand Theft Auto 5, the latest minor patch, will only affect Personal Computer players. The developers have indicated on the patch notes that this update is for PCs only! Therefore, players on other consoles will not experience any changes today.
As the dev team is working on GTA V, its upcoming sequel is currently in its final development stages. While Rockstar hasn’t yet shared the official release date for the sequel, we can speculate that the day is soon approaching.
