What’s new?

The PS5 blog post says that this variant of GTA V will have a range of technical improvements, visual upgrades, and performance enhancements. This optimized version of GTA V will tap the potential of the console’s powerful new hardware and will be a visual treat.

But that’s not it. The massive shared world of GTA Online will get more content which will be exclusive to the latest PS5 hardware. Also, a new standalone version of GTA Online will also be available for free exclusively for PS5 players during the first 3 months.

And if that is not enough, here’s something more for you all, a fragment from the original PS5 blog post about GTA V:

“And starting today, all PlayStation Plus members on PlayStation 4 will get GTA$1,000,000 (deposited within 72 hours into their in-game Maze Bank account) each month they play GTA Online until the launch of GTA Online on PlayStation 5.”

Okay, but how much are we liking it?

Okay here’s an example found on Twitter as to how much the fans liked this.

Fans have been asking for a new GTA title for a while now. It has been 7years since the release of GTA V. With the launch of PS5, the GTA community thought maybe it is time Rockstar Games released GTA VI.

Fans have been bombarding Rockstar games and the GTA franchise on Twitter since the announcement. They have called out Rockstar Games saying that they are milking GTA V a bit too much now, instead of releasing a new title in the franchise.

Twitter user “Meliodas” replied to Playstation’s tweet with this:

Another Twitter user “Tiger” replied,

Oh boy, aren’t we angry?

As we mentioned before, the ever-growing GTA Online community will get more PS5 exclusive content. Now, whether that will be a DLC or not, is not clear.

Also, not to forget this game has been optimized to fully utilize the powerful hardware of PS5. The new-age console has promised to bring something more to the table with their new, powerful hardware and define a new era in gaming. Keeping that in mind, an enhanced GTA V with more content might be something looking forward to.
