Grand Theft Auto 5 fans still playing the last gen can now upgrade to the current gen for free.
Rockstar Games announced the upgrade in a new blog post, confirming that those with a copy of the PlayStation 4 or the 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 one GTA online update.
This means players will save around $40 compared to if they were to purchase the game for the first time on current gen.
“Starting 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 extra 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 features major 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 progression rewards and more.”
These features have already been available for PC for some time, along with additional PC-only features such as ambient occlusion, global lighting, 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 begins 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 for fans to use as their desktop background.
While we finally know when fans can secure their copies ahead of the game’s November 19th launch, there’s still no word on how much GTA 6 will cost. However, we will 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 yet.
