After the A Safehouse in the Hills update, GTA Online's felt like it's been held together with tape and luck, so the January 27, 2026 patch is a bit of a relief. If you're booting up today, you'll probably notice the download right away—PS5 is around 718.6 MB, PS4 sits near 520.2 MB, and PC players get the chunky 1.60 GB. Big PC patches usually mean more than a quick bandage, and if you've been juggling setups for grinding GTA 5 Money between sessions, you'll appreciate anything that makes the game stop falling over mid-run.

Creator Mode Finally Behaves

If you mess with Rockstar's Mission Creator, you've probably had that moment where you hit "test" and the whole thing just gives up. Multiple teams? Crash, fail, or a weird instant end. This patch tackles that headache, plus the memory bar showing the wrong values, and the object placement tools acting like they've got a mind of their own when you override position and rotation. The Wanted Level options are also meant to work properly now, which sounds small until you remember how many missions rely on that pressure to feel right. Best of all, interaction consequences are actually saving again, so you're not wasting an evening building a scenario only to reload and find half your settings wiped.

Mansions, Tow Jobs, and That Pet Prompt

The Mansions content got a tidy sweep too. Tow Truck Service missions were a mess when the target vehicle simply didn't spawn, leaving you driving in circles like an idiot and hoping the game would "catch up." That's reportedly fixed, along with some of the odd entry scenes that could glitch out and kill the vibe before you even stepped inside. And yeah, the pet stuff got patched—no more floating animals, and no more "pet" prompt that sticks to your screen like a bad sticker. It's not game-breaking every time, but it's the kind of bug that nags at you for hours once it starts.

Heists, Movement Locks, and Quiet Fixes

For a lot of players, the real win is the Cayo Perico Heist spawn issue getting sorted. Leaving El Rubio's compound and spawning out in the ocean was the kind of thing that made you stare at the screen and wonder why you even queued up. They've also addressed getting stuck after Junk Energy Skydiving, plus freezing problems tied to the KnoWay Out – Tunnel Vision mission. On top of the main download, Rockstar pushed a background update to clamp down on a facility money glitch and iron out some fast travel errors. If you're the type who likes to keep your loadouts, routes, and shopping plans tight, it's worth checking services like RSVSR for game currency or items while the dust settles, because a stable patch cycle usually makes planning feel less like gambling.
