Grand Theft Auto V Coming this Fall to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC

 

Today we're proud to announce that the critically-acclaimed and record-breaking Grand Theft Auto V is coming this fall to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

Grand Theft Auto V will take full advantage of the power of the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC with across-the-board graphical and technical improvements to deliver a stunning new level of detail. Increased draw distances, finer texture details, denser traffic, and enhanced resolutions all work together to bring new life to the cities, towns, deserts and oceans of Rockstar North?s epic reimagining of Southern California.

Switch between the interconnected lives of Michael, Trevor and Franklin as they embark on a series of heists across Los Santos and Blaine County in the biggest, deepest and richest open world experience yet, with game world enhancements that include new wildlife, upgraded weather and damage effects, and an array of new details to discover.

The new generation upgrades also extend to Grand Theft Auto Online, an ever-evolving Grand Theft Auto universe. Rise through the criminal ranks by banding together to complete Jobs for cash, purchase properties, vehicles and character upgrades, compete in traditional competitive modes, or create your own content to play and share with the Grand Theft Auto community.

All new content and gameplay created since the launch of Grand Theft Auto Online, including an extensive array of new Jobs, an arsenal of new weapons, scores of new vehicles, new properties and player customizations will also be available for the PlayStation 4 system, Xbox One and PC with much more to come. In addition, the current community of players will have the ability to transfer their Grand Theft Auto Online characters and progression to their choice of PlayStation 4, Xbox One or PC.

 

Grand Theft Auto V for PC will also feature a video editor designed for advanced movie-making.

Really?  Why is that? 

The 3D GTA series have always been intensive on the respective consoles.

 

I personally expect the PS4 to run this at 900p @ 30 fps and the Xbox One to run it at 720p @ 30 fps.

GTA 5 Xbox One's technical improvements revealed

 

"Enhanced resolutions", you say, Rockstar?

 

Rockstar has shed a little more light on the Xbox One version of Grand Theft Auto 5, which was announced overnight. Are you a fan of "detail"? Because there's a "stunning new level" of the stuff in GTA 5 for the next generation Xbox, apparently.

 

According to a release, the game boasts "across-the-board graphical and technical improvements", such as "increased draw distances, finer texture details, denser traffic, and enhanced resolutions work together to bring new life to the cities, towns, deserts and oceans of Rockstar North's epic reimagining of Southern California".

 

You can expect "the biggest, deepest and richest open world experience yet, with game world enhancements that include new wildlife, upgraded weather and damage effects, and an array of new details to discover". Details! There's just no telling where they'll end up in GTA 5.

GTA Online reaps the same benefits, obviously, plus a few of its own. Sign in, and you'll be able to tap into "all new content and gameplay created since the launch of Grand Theft Auto Online, including an extensive array of new Jobs, an arsenal of new weapons, scores of new vehicles, new properties and player customizations". Players will be able to transfer their Xbox 360 (or PS3) saves to the new game.

Check out the trailer below to see all these enhancements in action.

Is it too soon to ask what the systems will be able to do?  

 

 

1080p for BOTH PS4 abd Xbox one?

 

Possible, though also suspect this is similar to Watch Dogs, as in just a jazzed up version of previous generation versions. So 900p/792p or something like that for PS4/X1. Will look better than PS3/360, but if you want the absolute finest than PC for sure. Though with that you run the risk of Rockstar's impeccable PC release quality record....

 

Who knows, maybe i'm wrong and they did more to rebuild it for PS4/X1. There's no doubt in my mind those two can run GTA V in 1080/60p, unless Rockstar insist on some crazy lighting effects and specular this and that :D

They have pre orders up already so the specs should be out there somewhere. Kind of weird to have pre orders and not let people know what they're getting themselves into.

 

None of the pre order sites have specs though.

 

Hopefully the reqs aren't as insane as Shadow of Mordor. But unlike Shadow of Mordor this game kind of looks like those sort of reqs might make sense.

 

Edit: I found this but I have no idea if they are official.. seems like it's mostly speculation.

And idea what the PC spec requirements for this is going to look like?

 

Maximum 4GB VRAM :D

I still remember creating this text file and trying all of the combinations until one worked heh heh

The changes would have to be incredible for that, considering the Xbox 360 and PS3 both ran it at 720@30FPS

You're forgetting this isn't a direct port, they're increasing the visual fidelity a lot.

Not to be a downer or a cynic, saying this with pure kindness - please don't get your hopes up too much. PC will look much better than any console version, but don't expect worlds apart, really. You know this to be true! :/

How is game save stuff going to work? I am bit confused about it.

Will it just be PS3 to PS4 and Xbox 360 to Xbox One, or will I be able to take my progress from my Xbox 360 to my PS4?

Its online saves only, so you can take it from 360 to PS4 if you wish. It supposedly gives you the option of bringing your save over from a previous one linked to your socialclub account.

Does it work both ways, do you know? Can you make progress on the One version on GTA online and then carry on playing one the 360 version?

Am I missing something?  This video has been posted on here and on Reddit.  Where does it say anywhere what system that footage is taken from?  

 

The Source of the article is an xbox page, but the video doesn't say it's just xbox one. 

 

Same video was shown during Sonys E3 conference and it said at the end it was all PS4 footage. So I can only assume that, but this video does seem to be just a marketing ad to say it's coming.

I dont know 100% but id say no. Im pretty sure it will be a one off upgrade from one last gen to current gen

This is kinda my gut feeling too.

 

This is a must have buy for me (not sure which system yet). I absolutely love exploring the map and the increase in graphic quality along would be enough to make me purchase.

    • First time clicking on a Sayan Sen article after he started making clickbait, vague headlines recently. Didn't read, just came here to say the headline doesn't look like very cheap, vague clickbait this time. Are you okay?
    • Good review, and yeah the benchmark breakdown is pretty clear but also a little messy in a good way. It’s kinda interesting to see where the RX 9070 GRE slides in between the 7800 XT and the 9070 XT , especially when it comes to AI tasks and Blender style workloads. The side by side with Nvidia’s RTX 5070 and 4070 makes it feel obvious just how competitive the mid range GPU scene has gotten lately, and that’s great for creators and gamers too since you can pick based on your priorities rather than only chasing one single thing.
    • That's it. I finally uninstalled Firefox because they often keep pushing buggy updates, only to test them later and make users suffer. No longer is it my alternative browser to Edge. What a waste of energy. Firefox is bad for the environment, just like Chrome (wasting RAM/energy).
    • Microsoft Weekly: new Surface, Windows 11 26H2, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing Windows 11 version 26H2, launching new Surface devices powered by Snapdragon X2 processors, GTA VI preorder date and cover art, fresh Windows 11 preview builds, a quirky phone-sized e-reader with a physical dial, and more.

Alongside Windows 11's new preview builds released this week, Microsoft confirmed version 26H2, which is coming later this year as an enablement package based on the same platform as versions 24H2 and 25H2. A newly published blog post details what IT admins should do to prepare for the upcoming launch. Next, we have new Windows 11 bugs. Users report that this month's security updates for Windows 11 cause all sorts of issues, including BitLocker bugs, OneDrive issues, black screens of death, and third-party integration in Office apps. Microsoft has not confirmed those yet, but it acknowledged other issues with its operating system. What Microsoft has confirmed is a bug where Recycle Bin delete prompts display internal file names instead of actual ones, and a year-old Windows JScript compatibility bug caused by security-focused engine changes. Moving to more positive news, Microsoft and Adobe are working on improving Windows performance in popular creative apps like Photoshop. Thanks to SPGO optimizations, users can expect up to 20% better performance. Finally, we have a few useful articles that can help you recover your PC or make it perform better. For one, we published a guide detailing what to do if your computer cannot boot after a clean Windows 11 install. There are two important steps you can try to get your system back to working in no time. Additionally, there is a more detailed guide on various CPU performance modes that could notably improve performance.

This week, Microsoft announced its newest Surface devices powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon X2 processors. There is the 12th-gen Surface Pro and the 8th-gen Surface Laptop.

The Surface Laptop also received a new haptic trackpad. Mozilla is currently working on a major Firefox redesign, and earlier this week, it published a roadmap of upcoming features and highlights of the upcoming "Project Nova" rework. Files, one of the best file managers for Windows 10 and 11, has been updated in the Preview channel with a long-requested feature. Tree View is finally available in version 4.1.4, allowing you to quickly browse deeply nested folders without leaving the main view.

Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Earlier this week, we reviewed the DuRoBo Krono, a portable, phone-sized e-reader with some interesting physical controls. This device has an Apple Watch-like dial for page turning, frontlight adjustment, and more. Software is simple and no-nonsense, but it also lacks some useful features and customization. Overall, the device proved interesting, but not flawless. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Forza Horizon 6 received two big updates this week. Alongside the Series 2 content update, developers pushed plenty of bug fixes and balancing tweaks.

Luckily, only a few days later, another fix arrived, which re-enabled Eliminator and patched the exploit. Microsoft announced new games for Game Pass subscribers.
