But the launch of PS5 is that opportunity. Rockstar never bothered to enhance GTA 5 for the PS4 Pro or Xbox One X, likely since there was no financial incentive. In its announcement, Rockstar claimed “a range of technical improvements, visual upgrades, and performance enhancements” for GTA 5 on the PS5.
GTA Online will also offer exclusive content for next-generation consoles, including the PS5. But there's a caveat: it will only be free for the first three months. Additionally, a new standalone GTA Online will be available for free on the PS5 exclusively.
At the online PlayStation 5 event, Rockstar Games announced that an “expanded and enhanced” Grand Theft Auto V will release in the second half of 2021 on the PS5 - eight years after its launch.
