Grand Theft Auto V for PC Patch News, Details: Update 1.01 Fixes Launch Issues and Frame Rate Drops on PC

After a slew of complaints from players who got the Grand Theft Auto V on their PC, Rockstar Games released the first patch (1.01) for the said version that should fix persistent gaming issues like the Launcher problem as well as frame rate drops.
