GTA 6 LIVE: Game pre-orders include 'surprise' from one retailer

New PS5 software update

Sony has released another software update for PS5 consoles ahead of the release of GTA 6.

Version 26.07-14.22.00 (or v14.22) is now available and the only note to the patch is "we've made some security fixes to the system software".

It's not currently clear if PS5 consoles will need to be updated to the latest software to play GTA 6 but there is heavy speculation online Sony is continuing to battle the homebrew and jailbreak scene.

Hackers are using advancing AI code-generation tools which exploit vulnerabilities and basically reverse security layers which is being done increasingly quickly as the technology they're using evolves.

It appears Sony is trying to release software updates quickly to patch these exploited vulnerabilities but hackers are continuing to beat them really quickly at the moment.

GTA 6 pre-orders include 'surprise' from one retailer

There's a claim on social media GTA 6 pre-orders through Walmart will also include "one surprise and delight bag".

X / Twitter account Nintendeal posted links to the pre-orders along with what appears to be a screenshot detailing the "bonus" people can get through pre-ordering the game at Walmart.

The retailer has previously shipped crisps and a drink with purchases such as this, so it might be that, but others are speculating there could be a map or a poster included.
