Changelog

Every update to GTAa, newest first.

The same list opens in game under Updates in the menu.

A fairer economy

Oct 20, 2026

Turf pays for up to 20 blocks, and only while you are playing (not while away from the keyboard)
Businesses and buildings earn while you are active
At most 2 plots per player, and plots pay a small daily tax in gUSD. Three unpaid days and the plot goes back on sale
Cash pickups pay you once every 10 minutes per spot; each job type rests 2 minutes after you finish it
New prices: Brio Hatch $6,000, baseball bat $300, 9mm pistol $1,500

A longer road to the top

Oct 20, 2026

Levelling is 10x slower: every level takes real work now. The levels you already have stay
Cops drop only the regular gun they carried, no more rares
The basketball court where you arrive is a safe zone now
New: the full game guide at playgtaa.com/docs
Sound settings in the menu: set master, effects, footsteps, vehicles, sirens, radio, voice chat and notifications separately. Footsteps are quieter and the radio sits under the engine now
Players who were already past the new story chapters get them as catch-up chapters, with their rewards

Sharper picture, safer wallet login

Oct 20, 2026

Graphics on Auto no longer stay blurry after a slow moment: the picture sharpens again once the game runs smoothly
Wallet login on phones: Phantom opens to confirm, then sends you back to your browser to play
If your wallet switched accounts, the game signs in with the account that is selected now
Player cards open with a right click (left click is always your attack). On phones, tap the name tag
PvP is now opt-in: switch PvP on in the menu to fight other players who have it on too. Switching it off takes 60 seconds and not in the middle of a fight
PvP zones: the Rustwater container yard and the Glasstown construction site are open season for everyone, and a kill in there never lands you in jail. Watch the red areas on the map
The story now teaches the whole game: the map and GPS, the grow room, the burner and street deals, jobs, guns, food, businesses, lots, cars and mods
New sounds: every gun sounds different, explosions boom, engines shift gears, tyres screech, sirens wail past you
Car radio: five stations of original music (trap, synthwave, lo-fi, reggaeton, funk). Change station with . and , (RADIO button on phones), volume in the menu
Phones can play upright: a full portrait layout, so wallet players inside the Phantom app are no longer stuck on the rotate screen
Log back in where you logged out
Crews: asking to join now sends a request that the founder or an admin accepts. Founders can make admins, and kick members
Stand up a customer and they might come looking for you. Run, hide in a car or a safe zone, or fight them off
Everyone can see the holding cell at the police station, and who is sitting in it
Voice chat now connects on mobile networks and strict Wi-Fi too

The big bug sweep

Oct 20, 2026

Over 50 fixes across the city: saves, money, PvP, police, jobs, deals, the story, shops and the exchange
Phones and tablets: nothing sits on the minimap any more, the map legend and jail card fit, and tapping outside the menu closes it
A story call during a deal can now be answered
Helicopters no longer fly through buildings: below the roof you bump off the walls
Reloading no longer refills empty guns or your health mid-fight
Cars are now owned on the server: what you buy, mod or register is safe, and nobody can sell cars they never had

Fresh start on the court, fair leaderboard

Oct 19, 2026

Everyone now arrives in the city on the basketball court in the central park
The leaderboard ranks by level, then turf. Cash only breaks a tie
Your money is called gUSD now
See the police, tanks and helicopters chasing other players, and their wanted stars over their name
Everyone sees everyone fight: muzzle flashes, tracers, grenades, molotovs, tank shells and the gun in each player's hand
Jail for killers: whoever starts a fight and kills goes straight to the lockup (3 real minutes) or pays bail. Fighting back is self-defence, no charges
Other players' health now shows correctly after they heal or respawn
Story contacts stop blowing up your phone: miss a call and they text you, call back at most twice (after 3 and 6 minutes), and you can call them back any time with T (tap the story box on phones)
Two helicopters you can fly: the News Chopper on the park helipad next to the court and the Night Hawk at the docks. F to get in, Space to climb, C to descend (UP and DOWN on phones). Land on the street to get out
Jobs point the way: an arrow at the edge of the screen shows where the job marker is and how far
Tidier weapon bar: one slot per weapon type (1 to 9). Own several of a type? Press its number again to switch between them
The tower's PORTFOLIO button opens your holdings with income and GPS
Proximity voice chat works now: turn Voice on in the menu and hold V (or the talk button) near other players

Tank cannon

Oct 19, 2026

Steal a police tank at 4 stars and it now fires: click (or HIT on phones) to launch a shell that blows up cars and anyone near the blast. 1.6 seconds to reload
A stolen tank takes three times the damage of a car before it goes up

Sound and calls switches, tablet fix

Oct 19, 2026

Sound on or off: one tap in the menu mutes every game sound. Voice chat keeps its own switch
Calls on or off: put the burner away and customers stop calling and texting. A job you already took stays
Tablets: the online badge no longer covers the left side of the screen and the joystick
Phones and tablets: the car now drives where you point the stick on screen, like walking. Pull back from a stop to reverse
Right click a player to open their card, anywhere in the city
Simple map: every place is back (strip club, car wash, diner, casino, gang HQs and more)

Story, GPS, police air support and more

Oct 19, 2026

The story campaign: arrive in Sunset City with nothing and work your way up to City Boss across 12 missions. Open the Story panel with Y
GPS: tap anywhere on the map, a place or one of your properties and follow the route. K takes you to your nearest property
Police air support: a helicopter hunts you from 3 stars, tanks join at 4. Shoot the chopper down if you can
Stamina: sprinting tires you out. Energy drinks refill it
Burgers, hot dogs and bandages heal you. Buy them at the diner, the hospital and the gun shop, use them from the inventory or with R
Jail: get busted after hurting or killing another player and you do time (1 in-game day is 1 real minute) or pay bail
See other players on the map, friends in blue
Simple map mode: a calmer map that only colours what matters

Quieter phone, fair PvP, slower levels

Oct 19, 2026

Customers call far less often: a new one every few minutes, never more than two waiting, and nobody rings while a menu is open. Orders are bigger to make up for it
Walk up to the door of a building you own and press E (ACT on phones) to collect its cash, press again to manage it
Leveling is slower, so levels mean more. Nobody loses a level they already have
PvP tells you when a hit cannot count: a SAFE ZONE badge, a short message, and safe zones drawn on the map

Find your properties

Oct 19, 2026

Houses, shops, lots and businesses you own now show on the map and the minimap with a home marker and their name
New My properties list on the map and in the inventory: tap Show to find each one

Solid city, real PvP

Oct 19, 2026

Nobody walks or drives through buildings, walls or dumpsters any more, and cars no longer pass through people
Cops, gang members and their cars stay out of buildings, and nobody spawns inside one
PvP works properly: fists, bat, every gun, grenades and molotovs hit other players, and you can run players over
Shooting a player who is driving hurts them through the car
Bullets stop at walls: nobody can shoot you through a building
Fixed the engine sound that kept playing after a crash or respawn
Name tags float cleanly above players who are driving
Health now shows as a percentage
New Controls page in the menu and in Help
Big jumps next to buildings no longer wreck your car on landing

Launch polish

Oct 18, 2026

You never vanish behind buildings: a see-through outline shows where you are
Fairer cops: stars climb one at a time, dumpster hiding works while they search for you, and dying costs at most $2,000
Phone orders now meet you nearby with enough time to get there
Turf flags warn you before the defenders open fire
More traffic on the streets around you
The armored truck can no longer be stolen or chopped
Phones: a working handbrake button, a bigger map with a legend, and the start screen and tutorial fit
Faster start, link previews for shared invites, and fixes for older iPhones and sound on iOS
Lots of small fixes: Save look stays in view, Spray-N-Go really repaints, blackjack bets reset, clearer market dealers

Traffic that behaves

Oct 17, 2026

Cars no longer drive through each other: traffic queues behind the car ahead and takes turns at junctions
Traffic squeezes past parked cars and drives around a car stopped in the lane
Your car bumps off traffic and slows down when you shove another car
The Blade 600 bike is a bit slower, so the pricier cars are faster again

Real multiplayer cars and friends

Oct 17, 2026

One car for everyone: when another player takes a car, it is the same car for all of us. Nobody else can jump into it, and you crash into it instead of driving through
Cars stay where their driver left them, for every player
Fixed: players in special cars showed up as a floating name with no body or car
Click a player name tag to open their card: add friend, send a message, emote or invite them to your crew
Friends list (O) with online status, and private messages that also arrive while you are offline
Emotes for everyone nearby to see (G): wave, dap, dance, point, salute
Block and report players who bother you
Chat is easier to see: bigger text, a colour per player, new lines light up, and what players say pops up over their heads

Leaderboard

Oct 16, 2026

New Leaderboard panel in the menu (or press L): the top players and your own rank

A detailed city

Oct 13, 2026

Every building got real detail: framed windows with sills, doors with steps, cornices, AC units, water tanks, skylights and rooftop gear
REDBRICK got stone bands, fire escapes, barred windows and shop awnings. The docks got ribbed walls, roll-up doors and loading bays
All the landmarks are real buildings now: the gun shop, a glass car showroom, the hospital with a helipad, the chop shop, the market hall, the three gang HQs, the car wash, the diner, the nightclub and the casino
New police station downtown. Get busted and that is where they let you go
Player houses and shops look better too, with gable roofs, porches and flower beds
Lit windows and neon at night across the whole city
Phones and Low graphics get a lighter version of the detail

Faster, fairer, safer

Oct 13, 2026

The game runs much faster: far away people and cars rest, shadows only cover what you see. New Graphics option in the menu (Auto, High, Low)
Fixed memory leaks from explosions, the mod shop and the character preview, so long sessions stay smooth
Cops are fairer at 1 and 2 stars, and they can now bust you: lose the product you carry and pay a small fine
Dumpsters only work when no cop is close. Spray-N-Go now costs money and has a cooldown
Grenades and molotovs land where you aim
Your own gang no longer attacks you. Armored truck guards fight back
Street heat cools down while you play, your hired dealer gets paid properly, and better weed now pays more
Fixed: cloning cars at the chop shop and garage, endless haggling, dying in a dumpster, wrecks that never got towed and traffic thinning out
Your progress now saves to the server every few seconds while you play
Cheat protection: the server now keeps its own record of your cash, and PvP hits are checked

Gangs drop their guns

Oct 13, 2026

Gang members carry real weapons you can see: pistols, SMGs, shotguns, rifles and bats, in their gang colours
Take one down and it drops the weapon it carried, with ammo. Walk or drive over it to grab it
Corner crews pull their guns when they turn on you and put them away when they calm down
Cops now hold their guns too

New cars

Oct 12, 2026

Proper wheels with spoked rims, and real headlights and taillights that light up the road at night

Jobs, daily quests, turf, invites and crew earnings now pay their whole reward in cash

The rough side of town
