GTA Online just added new anti-cheat software, and some players think it means big changes for GTA 5 on PC.
Let’s dive into some history: GTA 5’s PC version came out in 2015. Fast forward to 2022, and the game got released for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Now, fans are hopeful that the new BattleEye anti-cheat in GTA Online is a sign of a “Gen9” update for the PC, similar to what consoles received.
A leftover metadata file indicates Rockstar has been working on a Gen9 version of #GTAV for PC since earlier this year.

GTA fans are always buzzing with wild theories, but sometimes, they catch onto real clues. This new theory is also supported by leaks, like a folder named “SITES-GTA-GEN9” found on Rockstar’s website.
Fans, we always get excited about rumors.
Even if the Gen9 update is true, nobody knows when it will drop. As with all leaks, especially those about GTA, it’s best to stay cautious and not get too hopeful. But if you’re hungry for more solid info on GTA, check out what we know about GTA 6!
