Recent GTA Online DLCs and event week updates were released somewhat close the aforementioned times. However, players should note that this is not official data and it is possible that Rockstar Games may drop the San Andreas Mercenaries update sooner or later on June 13, 2023.
Nevertheless, PlayStation 4 and 5 users have the option of downloading the DLC update ahead of its launch time. GTA Online San Andreas Mercenaries can be pre-loaded on these platforms and then installed when it is officially out.
The following are the download sizes of the DLC update on both consoles:
- PlayStation 5 - 5.5 GB
- PlayStation 4 - 2.291 GB
Interestingly, the auto-update feature is enabled on these platforms by default. Hence, the PS4 and the PS5 will begin downloading the update automatically when an internet connection is established.
However, if that doesn't happen, players can select the "Check for Update" option by hovering over to Grand Theft Auto V's icon in the main menu, and clicking the controller's "Options" button. The San Andreas Mercenaries update will then begin downloading and get pre-loaded on their PlayStation consoles.
