GTA 5 Update 1.51 Drives Out This July 17

Rockstar Games has released (Grand Theft Auto) GTA 5 update 1.51 on all platforms, and this is an unannounced title update. Given we just got the Bottom Dollar Bounties update in the last week of June, don’t expect much from this outside of fixes. Read on for what’s new in the GTA 5 patch notes for July 17.

GTA 5 Update 1.51 Patch Notes:

Update: Complete patch notes have been released by Rockstar.

Game Stability and Performance

• General fixes for stability and security

Matchmaking and Networking

• Fixed a networking issue that resulted in vehicles becoming inaccessible or invisible

Miscellaneous

• Fixed an issue where clicking “I have read and accept” text resulted in the “I accept” box being automatically selected and the form submitted
• Fixed an issue that resulted in players being unable to open the Privacy Policy when using a mouse

As expected, Rockstar Games has not released the official patch notes yet, and we’re expecting the studio to release them later on in the day a=per their usual method. Given the past version, expect this patch to be labeled GTA 5 version 1.70 on PC.

Remember, folks, if it the patch notes/changelog isn’t from Rockstar and there is no reliable source, those are not the actual patch notes.
