The game has been criticised for its character models, visuals, and technical problems. However, Rockstar Games released its first major update for the trilogy today (November 30th) on PlayStation and Xbox consoles to address the issues.

According to Rockstar, the update fixes several issues with the game, including the rain visual effects, character models, incorrect textures, holes in the game’s map, and so much more. The patch hasn’t yet been released for the Nintendo Switch or PC but should launch soon.
