The background update came a day after the developer released another GTA 5 update, which fixed two more issues on the game's PC version:

It fixed an issue with the Weapon Wheel due to which players weren’t able to switch weapons quickly when they use keyboard and mouse.
It fixed an issue where the GTA+ members weren’t able to claim monthly free vehicles
It also made general fixes for both stability and security.

The PC update went live for both Grand Theft Auto 5 Legacy as well as Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced versions.

It’s good to see the developers are still supporting the Legacy version of the game on PC, PS4, and Xbox One to this date. Even though GTA 6 is probably the major focus for them right now, fans can still expect support for the current title for years to come.
