Just days after promising to patch the security vulnerability plaguing Grand Theft Auto Online, Rockstar Games has released an update that will, hopefully, get gamers back to playing its most profitable venture yet.

The patch notes for the latest GTA Online update don't go into much detail about what it's for but the purpose is clear.

According to Rockstar, it has "implemented a new data protocol" that it believes will help "improve the security of network sessions and player-to-play messaging." In addition, Rockstar also claims that it has "fixed an issue" regarding unauthorized third-party modifications in GTA Online as well as "players being kicked or crashed."

It hasn't been more than 24 hours since the patch went live and people seem to be enjoying GTA Online with no fear - at least, for now.
