This title update removes the Rockstar Editor from the game. This was previously announced by Rockstar Games and the studio gave the following explanation as to why this is happening:
What’s changing with the Rockstar Editor in Grand Theft Auto V on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One?
The Rockstar Editor will no longer be available in Grand Theft Auto V and GTA Online on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles as of February 20, 2024. This change is necessary to allow us to support ongoing updates to these games on both platforms.
This means that all clips and projects from the Rockstar Editor will be removed from today’s title update. You can read more about the Rockstar Editor’s deletion in this FAQ.
In addition to that, redditor Conscious_Bag_8052 noticed a change in GTA Online as well. “I noticed a change in the Acid Lab Sales mission where you have to drop it off in the back of a Washington at the top of a parking garage. Now, it won’t trigger by just blowing up the car on the lower level, I had to basically interact with the Washington on top before it triggers the cops.”
Once the official patch notes are out, we’ll update the article with the info.
Update: Added the official patch notes from Rockstar.
