After the latest update for GTA 5 and GTA Online that the game received, many were surprised by the abandonment of a large part of the anti-cheat system, which left players confused about this dangerous step taken by Rockstar in one of its strongest games.

This step was observed on the PC version, but it is unclear if the same applies to the home device version.

Although the developers have worked hard to combat cheats and cheating in GTA 5 and GTA Online, once this system was abandoned, many PC players began to complain that the game environment became full of annoying cheats.

There are many cheats used by players that make the gaming environment unbalanced and unfair, such as God Mode mod, infinite ammo mod, and others. There is also a tweak that has started spreading among the gaming community in the online phase, which is turning other players into big balls.

These changes in the GTA 5 update were revealed by a leaker who specializes in covering news and leaks about Rockstar games. Tez2 He stated, via his Twitter account, that:

In a strange move, the latest GTA 5 PC update removes key components of the anti-cheat system. Resulting in the removal of nearly 95% from the anti-cheat system.

It is worth mentioning that Rockstar has worked diligently and continuously to combat cheating and cheating in the game, although there are some violations of this strict system, but after this illogical step, we expect that the game environment will be unsuitable for many players.

We come back and mention that this problem only appears in the GTA Online game, the PC version, as it accepts modifications through mods, while the home version still provides a better gaming experience in the meantime.

So far, there are no explanatory statements from Rockstar about this sudden and dangerous move, but there are expectations that the reason could be that the company plans to release an updated version of the anti-cheat system with a major winter update expected in the coming weeks.

There are also other expectations that Rockstar may be planning to move on to the GTA 6 game, which is gearing up to be revealed during the upcoming period, and may want to introduce a new protection system for the new game when it is released sometime in the future.

Stay tuned for more details.
