Grand Theft Auto V graphics downgrade: Rockstar is ‘investigating a fix’

Updates are supposed to make games better, but that’s not what happened with Rockstar’s latest patch for Grand Theft Auto V.

The open-world crime game recently got a patch on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 that actually made the graphics look a tiny bit worse. A comparison video, which we’ve embedded below, shows considerably more geometric pop-in and other visual downgrades. In its changelog for the 1.08 patch, Rockstar only listed fixes to its online mode and other minor improvements to the campaign.
