Before we get down to stopping your game from updating, I will like to bring a few things to your observation. Though most of you must have already figured these things out, there is no harm in refreshing the memory.
· Plus Chops Characters
You must be aware by now that GTA 5 is not a one-character game, but rather you can take control of three characters. If you are not aware of this already, then I wonder how you missed the GTA 5 previews that has be in circulation in the last few years. Their characters range from Michael ( former criminal), Franklin (an ambitious African-American), and finally, Trevor (insane violent bully). At some point in the game, you get to also have the opportunity to use Franklin’s dog Chops.

Now you can jump on or steal a bicycle, motorbike, fly a helicopter, the possibilities are just made limited to your imagination.
- You can take on a real-life
The GTA designers have made sure that the game, mimics real life as much it can. This brings in the possibility of being able to convey text messages, watch television programs and even snap a picture on your phone. But this is done in the GTA funny style, and that is what I mean; the Internet cafes are marked Tw@, the most famous show on television is Fame with oddly common English tone and Shame and finally, the social media company is called Lifeinvader.
· Healthy Lifestyle
Normally the GTA characters could take some time off from murdering and heists to enjoy a little bit of sport. The GTA 5 takes it further by now adding tennis, triathlons, and golf, you can see your character joyous from winning points on the court and you can see these funny scenes in the cut scenes.

Additional new to the game is the “Stranger and Freaks” that you can find at the Los Santos. Here you will help a paparazzo get his shot and also see aliens that you can shoot. You can get more tasks like bank robbers in serious demand of a driver and so many other tasks as you go-ahead

You can also disable the update from the game while you are on stream, by simply going to stream library and right-click on the GTA 5. Then click on updates and you will see an automatic update drop-down, change it to “Do not automatically update this game”. If you are done with that reload the game and enjoy.
