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.
