While fans eagerly await the second trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI, Rockstar Games has surprised players with a new update for Grand Theft Auto V and GTA Online. Update 1.70 has officially launched on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
What Does GTA 5 Update 1.70 Include?
Although the update doesn’t bring any groundbreaking new features, it’s a testament to Rockstar’s commitment to supporting a game that first launched over a decade ago in 2013.
Here’s what Update 1.70 addresses:
- Fixed an issue that caused the cargo plane to remain in the scene after the crash during the Black Box File Finale.
- On PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, the update resolved:
- A series of crashes that occurred while playing GTA Online.
- A crash issue during the “Gather Intel” mission for The Cayo Perico Heist.
- A crash when playing the mission “Pack Man” in GTA 5.
These fixes may seem minor, but for players who encountered these bugs, the improvements are undoubtedly welcome.
Rockstar’s Longstanding Support for GTA 5
It’s impressive to see Rockstar Games continuing to update Grand Theft Auto V and GTA Online, even as fans eagerly anticipate the arrival of GTA VI. This level of support contrasts with other major titles, such as Hogwarts Legacy. Despite being one of the best-selling games of 2023, Hogwarts Legacy has seen limited post-launch updates and content.

Rockstar’s ongoing dedication is largely driven by the sustained popularity of GTA Online, which remains a key part of the GTA 5 experience.
What About GTA VI?
While Update 1.70 is a nice addition for GTA V players, many fans are still asking one burning question: “When is the second trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI coming?”
Unfortunately, Rockstar has not yet shared any new details. However, Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar’s parent company, is set to hold its next earnings call on February 6, 2025. This has led to speculation that more GTA VI news, or perhaps the highly anticipated second trailer, could be revealed during or shortly after this event.
A Small Update, but a Big Impact for Some
Although Update 1.70 isn’t a major content drop, it provides important fixes for players experiencing issues in GTA V and GTA Online. As fans patiently wait for news about GTA VI, this update serves as a reminder of Rockstar’s ongoing commitment to its games—even a decade after their initial release.
