Here's a full list of everything that has been added or adjusted in the new Grand Theft Auto 5 update 1.66 patch notes:

Security

  • Implemented a new data protocol in GTA Online to improve the security of network sessions and player-to-player messaging.
  • Fixed an issue that could result in a player’s GTA Online experience being modified by a third party, including:
    • Altering GTA$ balance, RP level, Bad Sport status, and other player stats.
    • Manipulation of players being kicked or crashed.

Game Stability and Performance

  • General stability improvements

While this is not an exciting new car or a big story expansion, it does attempt to tackle issues that will be plaguing players every day in GTA Online. Game stability updates are always going to welcome - even if they are a bit boring - as they make sure that your experience in-game continues to be as smooth as possible.

In addition, this patch appears to be taking aim at cheaters and those who exploit the game through third-party programs. If you're a legitimate player who earns everything in a squeaky clean manner, then this is only going to be great news for you, and should hopefully dramatically improve your lobby experience.

So, that completes this guide for the Grand Theft Auto 5 update 1.66 patch notes. Make sure to check out this GTA Online treasure hunt locations guide for details on how to find some top-tier rewards in Los Santos.
