After years of teasing, Rockstar will finally bring GTA 5 and GTA Online to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on March 15.
These are not vanilla ports of GTA 5 and GTA Online either. Rockstar said Friday that the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions will have loads of new graphical enhancements.
The new graphics options for GTA 5 and GTA Online include:
- 4K resolutions.
- 60 frames per second (FPS).
- Texture and draw distance improvements.
- HDR options.
- Ray-tracing support.
- Faster load times.
- 3D audio.
- Haptic feedback (platform-specific).
Rockstar also confirms that you’ll be able to transfer both story mode progress in GTA 5 and character progression in GTA Online to the new console versions.
GTAV and GTA Online come to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on March 15, with new graphics modes, technical advancements, and much more.

GTA Online will also be a standalone release, meaning fans can purchase and download it without purchasing GTA 5 (or replay its prologue) again. Everything multiplayer fans want without the single-player trimmings, more or less. It makes sense, as GTA Online is so big that Dr. Dre’s newest music made its debut in the game.
Rockstar also snuck in a GTA 6 announcement in its blog about these remasters. It’s funny how most studios have to spend millions on Game Awards trailers to send fans into frenzies while Rockstar can just confirm things in one sentence on its blog and get similar results.
