The upcoming current gen version of Grand Theft Auto 5 will include three graphics modes.
–
Which Rockstar announced† First of all, there is Fidelity mode. Graphically, this is the best choice, with native 4k resolution and ray tracing on PS5 and Xbox Series X, and upscaled 4k on Xbox Series S. However, the game will run at 30 frames per second.
Then there’s Performance Mode, where the game runs at 60fps and upscaled 4k on PS5 and Xbox Series X. On Series S, the game runs at 30 fps and 1080p. Finally, on PS5 and Xbox Series X there is a Performance RT mode, a kind of middle ground with upscaled 4k and 60 fps and ray tracing.
Furthermore, the current gen version includes improvements such as faster loading times, more people and traffic on the street, more plants, improved water reflections and more. On PS5, haptic feedback and the adaptive triggers are used. There is also 3D Audio on PS5 and Spatial Sound on Xbox Series.
Logically, the game also comes with a new version of GTA Online, which – as was previously announced – can be played completely free with PlayStation Plus for three months from launch. On the new consoles, the GTA Online prologue can be skipped and there is a new tutorial.
People who want to transfer their progress in GTA 5’s single player mode can now do so via the Rockstar Games Social Club. To transfer progression in GTA Online, players will soon only have to start the new version to transfer everything. This can only be done once and cannot be reversed.
The current gen version will be released digitally on March 15, and physically in April. Rockstar has not yet given any details about the price.
