A lot of fans are eagerly awaiting Grand Theft Auto V PC as the game has been delayed quite a few times. Now it looks like someone has been able to get a copy and has revealed the download size of a mandatory update for Grand Theft Auto V PC.

Many players have spent today pre-loading the title but it seems Funmw4 on Twitter has spent his day going and somehow getting further than the pre-load and downloading a mandatory day-one patch for the game. The day-one patch weighs in at around 58MB and as Funmw4 says, it delivers final fixes and “wraps up any missed additions to the game.”

The user also revealed that a Rockstar Social Club account is mandatory as well, to play Grand Theft Auto V PC. So if you don’t already have an account, you will be forced to make one upon installation. Judging by the amount of people pre-loading, the day one environment for Grand Theft Auto PC will be just as bad as the console versions, so here’s to everyone pre-loading and they will hopefully have a great time when the game releases next week.

Grand Theft Auto V PC is set to release next week, April 14th 2015. Pre-load now so you can jump right into the action at release.

If someone download this game illegally, is this patch going to ban the certain product or cracks will be released so as to avoid these restrictions?

  How would anyone know at this point, and why pirate anyway?

    I mean pirated versions are out and I see the appeal to download for the story and no wait and then you have the full version you bought when it comes out.

      I guess it might work but, you never know could just be full of viruses.

        Yea you’re right, some people would say it’s worth the risk though. I’ll just stay on my Xbox until next week though, no rush

I’ve been trying to pre load today but I’ve no idea were you do it ive got the GTAV tool it asked for what fine do I use and didn’t know where to put it so I’m stuck I though there would be a client download I use any ideas

  Yes. You need to go to the store (Steam or RockstarWarehouse). In my case, i bought thru RSW. Just login there, and go to your orders. You’ll find a link and the serial. You’ll download the installer, and run it. Its simple as that.
