Are There GTA 6 Version 1.002 Patch Notes?

No, there are currently no official patch notes for GTA 6 Version 1.002, so we don’t know what the update changes.

So if you’ve logged into your PS5 and still haven’t seen it yet, don’t panic. Plus, Grand Theft Auto VI isn’t playable until midnight local time on November 19 anyway, so you aren’t missing out. If anything, it appears Rockstar Games is preparing for the title’s launch by pushing out the update early so millions of players don’t have to download it at the same time on release day.
