Rockstar Will Offer Free GTA 5 Upgrades From Older Console And PC Versions

GTA V players on PC can score a free upgrade from an older version to the Enhanced edition (which arrived last year) as well. Rockstar says that, along with the same upgrades the current-gen console versions have, the Enhanced edition includes PC-exclusive features such as ray-traced ambient occlusion and global illumination.

Free upgrades are always welcome, particularly now that many more people will have a PS5 or Xbox Series X/S (or perhaps a better PC) than four years ago. However, this does feel like a precursor to Rockstar eventually shutting down GTA Online on PS4 and Xbox One, as it did on PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2021.

GTA fans have been eagerly awaiting entirely different news on the franchise, namely more details about Grand Theft Auto VI. It appears as though Rockstar is actually sticking to the current November 19 release date after several delays. Parent company Take-Two claimed the GTA VI marketing machine will ramp up this summer, so the third trailer for the game — the first in over a year — seems imminent.
