Patch 1.0.3 (September 22, 2026) lowered most multiplayer Progressive challenge targets — many by a third to a half, e.g. Bob’s Extra Innings 45 → 15 and Tanya’s Social Butterfly 63 → 30. Two targets were raised as published (Richard’s Born To Live 9 → 10, Alexis’s Silver Tongue 9 → 50). Challenges that require knocking Michael down or blinding, disorienting or stunning him were also made easier.
Official 1.0.3 patch notes, cross-checked against the SteamDB mirror and MP1st. References and scope below.Note: many of these targets changed again
These are the 1.0.3 values from September 22, 2026. On October 27, Patch 1.2.0 cut 71 of these Civilian targets again and added Michael-skin and weapon targets — see the challenge targets updated again in Patch 1.2.0.
How to read these tables
Numbers are the old and new target counts shown in IllFonic — Patch Notes 1.0.3 ↗, cross-checked against SteamDB — Patch Notes 1.0.3 (mirror of the official Steam post) ↗ and MP1st — Version 1.0.3 / console Update 1.011 patch notes ↗. These are multiplayer Progressive challenges, not the 36 story-mode chapter challenges — 1.0.3 did not change story-mode objectives. An ↑ marks a target that went up; both sources print those two the same way, so we list them as published rather than guessing at a typo.
Also changed, without per-challenge numbers: reduced difficulty for any Challenge that requires knocking Michael off his feet, or blinding, disorienting or stunning him. The September 17 roadmap had said IllFonic was “evaluating” count requirements IllFonic — What’s Coming Next ↗; this is that change shipping.
If your progress was already above the new target
The 1.0.3 notes we reviewed (IllFonic — Patch Notes 1.0.3 ↗, cross-checked with MP1st — Version 1.0.3 / console Update 1.011 patch notes ↗) do not say whether over-target progress completes automatically. Play one more match that performs the relevant action; if it still shows incomplete, use the tracking checklist.
