GTA 5 PS5 and Xbox Series X|S graphical improvements finally revealed

GTA 5 will arrive on new-generation consoles soon, with several new graphical bells and whistles to boot.

On Friday, Rockstar shared details on how GTA 5 will take advantage of the extra horsepower of PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Both versions will have high-end PC options like 4K resolutions, 60 frame rate caps, HDR options, and ray tracing support. Fans can also swap between three new graphical settings. 

GTA 5 graphics options on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S

  • Fidelity Mode: Targets 30 FPS with the best visuals possible
  • Performance Mode: Targets 60 FPS and dials back some visual elements
  • Performance RT mode: A balance of the other two, pretty graphics targeting 60 FPS

Since the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S have lightning-fast SSDs, load times will be dramatically lower than last-generation predecessors. Both consoles will also see more population and traffic variety, increased vegetation density, better lighting, and more.

The PS5 version will also utilize the Dualsense controller’s adaptive trigger and haptic feedback. Rockstar notes that particular weather effects, directional damage, rough road surfaces, and more will feel better while playing on the Dualsense.

GTA 5 comes out on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on March 15, 2022.
