Between late 2023 and early 2024, Rockstar Games rolled out a trilogy of significant updates for Grand Theft Auto V and GTA Online: Update 1.64, 1.65, and 1.66. While no single update rivaled the size of a summer DLC like The Criminal Enterprises or San Andreas Mercenaries, these patches collectively stabilized the game, added quality-of-life features, and laid groundwork for future content.
For players confused by the version numbers: On PlayStation, these are the visible patch numbers. On Xbox, they correspond to updates around 2.0.3.x. On PC, these mirror the 1.67 – 1.69 Title Updates. This article dissects every major change, from game-breaking bug fixes to subtle performance tweaks.
Data miners discovered a hidden change: The Clucking Bell Farm Raid (added in June 2023) had its solo payout reduced from $750k to $500k if completed more than 3 times per real-world week. Rockstar claimed this was to “encourage variety,” but the community saw it as a direct hit to solo grinders.
