Rockstar Games is pushing the Preload 1.011 update for Grand Theft Auto V, giving players early access to new content before the official install window opens. This matters because the update introduces substantial additions to the game world, including a new heist location and expanded customization options for player properties. Buyers who own the title on PlayStation 5 can start downloading the files this weekend to avoid the launch day rush.
New heist location and vehicle additions arrive Tuesday
The update targets the global player base and arrives on Tuesday, July 14, for full installation. Rockstar Games has released patch version 1.011, which serves as a significant content drop rather than a simple bug fix. The update is available on all supported platforms, though the initial file preload is specifically noted for PS5 users.
- Preload Size (PS5): 1.9 GB
- Patch Version: 1.011
- Install Date: Tuesday, July 14
The centerpiece of this update is The Kortz Center Heist, a new mission targeting a museum. Players can also expand their Art Studio in Mansions to display stolen artwork from heists. The update adds new vehicles, including Supercars and drift-capable cars that work with Hao's Special Works. GTA+ members receive the Grotti Veleno GT one week before the general release.
Limited-time bonuses include GTA$500,000, a free Benefactor Turreted Limo, and a NOOSE Outfit. These rewards are available to all players during the launch window. The update brings a mix of gameplay content and cosmetic items to the online mode. Players should check their storage space, as the PS5 preload file is 1.9 GB.
Some observers speculate this may be the final major update before the release of Grand Theft Auto 6. Rockstar has not officially confirmed this timeline, but the update cadence suggests a shift in focus. We looked at previous GTA Online updates while tracking these changes.
