Grand Theft Auto V Update Fixes Degraded Visuals Caused By Last Patch
Grand Theft Auto V players on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will be happy to know that a new patch is available right now. The previous update, 1.08, caused some visual degradation. That has now been repaired.
At the end of March, Rockstar confirmed that the update was negatively impacting some of the visual presentation. The update fixes that problem as well as issues with player appearance changing at random and an animation bug related to another player aiming at you.
For more on Grand Theft Auto V, you can read our review of the current-generation release. You can also check out our impressions of the recently released heists.
If it’s the PC version you’re interested in, Rockstar recently released a new trailer showing the game at 60 frames-per-second. It will be out on that platform on April 14.

Our Take
This isn’t the weirdest bug I’ve heard of introduced by a patch, but it’s certainly a strange one. Thankfully, this one is a memory now.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
