Grand Theft Auto 5 fans still playing the last-gen version can now upgrade to current-gen, free of charge.
Rockstar Games announced the upgrade in a new blog post, confirming that those with a copy of the PlayStation 4 or digital Xbox One version of GTA 5 can upgrade to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and Series S versions for free, ahead of the next GTA Online update.
This means players will save roughly $40 compared to if they were to purchase the game for the first time on current-gen.
“Beginning tomorrow, those who own any PS4 version or the digital Xbox One version of Grand Theft Auto 5 will be able to upgrade to the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S versions at no additional cost, and experience the best versions of GTA 5 and GTA Online ahead of the launch of The Kortz Center Heist,” the studio said.
“GTA 5 and GTA Online on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S feature vast technical improvements, easy migration of your Story Mode and Online progress, and new features including Hao’s Special Works high-performance vehicles and upgrades, Career Progress rewards, and much more.”
These features have already been available for PC for some time, along with additional PC-only features like ambient occlusion, global illumination, ray-traced shadows and reflections, as well as Nvidia DLSS 3, AMD FSR1, and FSR3 support.
In case you missed it, Rockstar has also officially confirmed that pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto 6 will begin later this month on June 25.
The long-awaited announcement comes from a new trailer, where the studio revealed the game’s official cover art and shared new artwork fans can use as their desktop wallpaper.
While we finally know when fans can secure their copies ahead of the game’s November 19 launch, there’s still no word on how much GTA 6 will cost. However, we’ll know within the next seven days.
GTA 6 will be available for PS5 and Xbox Series X and Series S at launch, with no PC version announced just yet.
