Latest Release for Grand Theft Auto Online Unveiled

Rockstar has made available update 1.66 for Grand Theft Auto Online, which will enhance the gameplay of the Grand Theft Auto 5 multiplayer experience. This patch will let gamers get more enjoyment out of Grand Theft Auto Online, regardless if they favor hurtling around the avenues of Los Santos or joining in on intricate robberies.

Grand Theft Auto Online puts a huge variety of tasks at the players’ disposal, from heists and races to narrative tasks. Recently, the Los Santos Drug Wars update even offered opportunities to create and sell drugs to a multitude of distributors in Los Santos. When gamers have gained enough in-game currency, they can buy a variety of properties such as offices, bunkers, apartments, and the newest addition – a garage that can store up to 50 cars from their Grand Theft Auto Online collection.

An unexpected move by a GTA Online non-player character (NPC) was recently caught on video, showing the entity swerving to avoid colliding with a player. A clip of the incident was shared online, highlighting the unexpected move.

Rockstar has made available the patch notes for update 1.66 of Grand Theft Auto Online, emphasizing security and stability. This patch addresses a variety of glitches in the game, provides general stability improvements, and introduces a new data protocol to bolster the security of network sessions and player-to-player communication. This update is accessible to all players of Grand Theft Auto Online, though there are slight discrepancies between platforms.

One month after the discovery of an exploit in Grand Theft Auto Online, Rockstar released a security update for both Grand Theft Auto Online and Red Dead Redemption 2 and its multiplayer version, Red Dead Online. This exploit enabled hackers to alter other gamers’ stats and even permanently corrupt their accounts, preventing them from accessing the game afterwards. Rockstar was quick to take notice and logged any affected accounts before the hackers could abuse these exploits, then releasing a patch to fix the issue.

After the latest patch of Grand Theft Auto Online restored safe gameplay, players can dive back into the open world of activities the game has to offer. On social media, players share the highlights of their gaming experience, from silly glitches to remarkable feats – such as one player destroying a fighter plane with a single shot from an assault rifle or another pulling off the seemingly impossible task of getting a boat in the rooftop pool of a casino.
