Grand Theft Auto V will be available on the new PlayStation 5 by the end of 2021

The fifth installment of Grand Theft Auto is coming to PlayStation 5 in the second half of 2021. At the recent online PS5 event, Rockstar Games announced that an “expanded and enhanced” GTA V will be released on the latest console next year. A Rockstar Newswire report confirmed the same. The PlayStation 5 design was unveiled  on Thursday at Sony’s online event and it was revealed that the adventures of Michael, Franklin and Trevor will be coming to a “new generation of consoles, including PlayStation 5”. This “new generation” version will see a sleuth of advancements in terms of enhancing the playing experience – from “technical improvements, visual upgrades and performance enhancements” to getting the support of the latest hardware, so that the game becomes “more beautiful and more responsive than ever”.

GTA V was first released on the PlayStation 3, before coming to PlayStation 4, so the PS5 version will be the game’s third platform. Rockstar’s open-world action game is loved across the world and it is unlikely that GTA V will be a PS5 exclusive release, meaning we can soon see an announcement for Xbox Series X. In a blog post , Sony said that some “additional” GTA Online content exclusive to the latest generation hardware will be released. Hinting exciting news for the gaming fans, the post also revealed that a “new standalone version of GTA Online” will also be available for free “exclusively” for PlayStation 5 players during the first three months. “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,” the post further said.
