GTA V for PS5 and Xbox Series X was announced during Sony's PS5 reveal event, which contained a smorgasbord of details about the console and its games.
The mode keeps setting records, and that's part of the reason why Rockstar is bringing it to next-gen consoles.Īs for the GTA V base game, it's coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X with a "range of technical improvements, visual upgrades, and performance enhancements to take full advantage of the latest hardware, making the game more beautiful and more responsive than ever." Many years after release, the mode continues to make lots of money from its microtransactions. GTA Online is GTA V's multiplayer mode, and it's been a gigantic success for Rockstar.
The same thing happened the last time GTA Online made the jump to new platforms-currently, the PS4/Xbox One versions of GTA Online get new content and features not available in the PS3/Xbox 360 versions.Īs a special bonus for PlayStation users, Rockstar is giving all PS Plus members on PS4 an allotment of $1 million GTA$ every month they play GTA Online until the game comes to PS5. GTA Online for PS5 and Xbox Series X will get new updates and special content that is exclusive to the new versions of the game, but Rockstar has not shared any details on what this will be.

Or he's trying to get you to watch Mad Men. When not talking about The Legend of Zelda, Dark Souls, Mass Effect, or some PlayStation exclusive, he's probably droning on about the works of Cormac McCarthy, Frank Herbert, Stanley Kubrick, and Wes Anderson. A terminal Midwesterner who graduated from the University of Kansas, Kyle also has knowledge and interest in literature, film, film adaptions of literature, and history.
His tenure at SR began in late 2020 as a contributing Game Features writer before quickly becoming a Staff Writer, a role that gradually progressed into an Editor position. One of Kyle's earliest memories is of watching his older brother play Ocarina of Time, which probably explains how he ended up as an Editor for Screen Rant's Gaming section.
GTA Online began as an additional mode for GTA 5, but that will no longer be necessary when it is time for Grand Theft Auto 6 to release. With the ever increasing development times for the massive games Rockstar specializes in, and the ambitious rumors surrounding GTA 6's evolving map, it is best to establish GTA Online as its own, self-contained entity completely separate from another new mainline entry in the series. Releasing GTA 6 as a completely standalone, single-player experience will help distance it from GTA Online while also allowing those players to continue with their near decade-long progress. Separating it from GTA 5 is a good step, but keeping it that way when Grand Theft Auto 6 launches will help keep it a clearly different experience.Īs for GTA 6, bonus incentives have long been unnecessary for the Grand Theft Auto series. It seems that Rockstar's intent is to keep GTA Online running for as long as players are willing to keep it alive. As the GTA Online community continues to grow stronger with each passing year, we would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for playing with us across 2021, whether through the high-speed thrills of Los Santos Tuners, chasing down Dr. The game's standalone release is a good way to continue GTA Online's evolution into a full-fledged live service. GTA Online has been an undeniable success since it launched, and its longevity should be proof that it can stand on its own indefinitely.
