Grand Theft Auto 4 PS3 patch to fix freezing issues released

A new patch for the PlayStation 3 version of Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto 4 (the game is also available on the Xbox 360) has been released. To find out more about this new update, head on over to the full article.

Rockstar Games has released a new patch for the PlayStation 3 version of Grand Theft Auto 4 (the game is also available on the Xbox 360) which fixes a few issues that users have been complaining about including the freezing problems and multiplayer woes.

With regards to the multiplayer problem, Rockstar said that this 18 MB update “prevents GameSpy’s servers from being overloaded”. This in turn, should theoretically reduce “the impact on those servers that were causing the game to stutter and lock up.”

It’s nice to see that Rockstar has come up with a solution for the problems that have been plaguing the game. Installing the patch is easy since your system will prompt you to install it the next time you start up the game (assuming your PS3 is connected to the internet).
