After 72 hours of arguably the biggest botch ever in video games, Rockstar Games has officially released a massive title update for Grand Theft Auto V on both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Players had a slew of issues with the online department of the game, with connection stability, character switching and character creating among other things.
While the update is at least ready for the weekend, the damage has already been done for most gamers. It’ll take a few gaming sessions for players to get the foul taste out of their mouth of Tuesday morning; but a weekend hitting up Los Satos and Blaine County’s with your favorite online buddies should take the stress off your mind to enjoy GTA V.
You can check after the jump to view the first title update for GTA V, which should hopefully give you incentive to jump back into action today!
