Rockstar Games has released the patch notes for the latest update to GTA Online. This update comes just weeks after Rockstar Games confirmed it would be reducing support on Red Dead Online, something that upset some fans who were hoping the online western game would have a more notable future. Nevertheless, GTA Online lives on and continues to be a major success on all accounts. The new update lets players become undercover IAA agents and uncover a grand criminal conspiracy, allowing players the opportunity to do some good while causing chaos.
