A brand new and quite amusing glitch has been found within Grand Theft Auto 5's multiplayer mode, as GTA Online characters, in Japan at least, are suddenly changing their races or genders on the fly, according to quite a few players.

GTA Online has been plagued by quite a few glitches ever since its debut on October 1 but, thanks to several patches, Rockstar managed to bring things to normal, eliminating any problems relating to character saving or progression.

Now, a new and rather outlandish bug is affecting GTA 5 players in Japan, at least, as their characters are suddenly changing their genders (aka men become women and vice versa) or their race (going from black to white, Asian, and more).

According to Kotaku, the bug appeared after the release of the Beach Bum free DLC and is present both on the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of GTA 5.

Rockstar hasn't commented on this new problem.
