The continued support for GTA Online is in full effect with the new 1.42 update, and we have patch notes for the GTA update detailing which platforms it’s on and what it does.

Even though GTA 6 is in the works and fans are growing impatient for more information on Rockstar’s next humongous sandbox adventure, GTA 5’s Online mode is still as popular as ever it seems.

Rockstar are fully aware of this as they keep releasing patches and fixes to keep the game fresh with weekly content updates and overall maintenance to fix bugs. The recent 1.41 update was a perfect example of this with 1.42 being another step towards making GTA Online the best it can be.

When does GTA Online’s 1.42 update release?

The 1.42 update for GTA Online was made available on May 17, 2022, and players should be able to hop into the game and get it downloaded.

It seems the update is only for players on PS4, Xbox, and PC, so PS5 and Xbox Series X|S users with the Enhanced edition don’t need to be concerned with this update.
