A first GTA 6 update is reaching PS5 consoles six days before the November 19 launch. The account PlayStation Game Size says patch 01.002.000 "has been released, but it is not available for all users": the first 50% get it now, the other 50% "in 11 hours". Two more accounts, @gtasix_ ("a new 1.07 GB update on PS5") and @GTAVI_Countdown, report the same. Neither Rockstar nor Sony has said anything, so this is not confirmed by the publisher.
Unknown. None of the three posts describes a fix and no patch notes are quoted. At 1.07 GB it is small next to the 212 GB game, whose size and required bandwidth we covered earlier. A file this size is often a stability fix or launch-day preparation, but that is a guess, not a fact.
If it shows up on your console, it downloads like any update, on top of the preload open since November 10. The staggered rollout explains why some players do not see it yet. The 01.002.000 number suggests an earlier 01.001 build existed, but we do not know when it shipped.
As a reminder, the game launches November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and the exact unlock time still needs checking: see our release page. We will update as soon as an official text explains the patch.

Nothing is mandatory yet: preloading remains the priority. But a patch before launch shows the console build is already in its final polish, and the extra 1.07 GB adds to the 212 GB. Source: PlayStation Game Size, echoed by two accounts; no confirmation from Rockstar.
