GTA 5 en GTA Online coming next year to PS5 and Xbox Series X, and now we have more details about the game courtesy of Rockstar Games and its parent company Take-Two Interactive. The pair was first announced GTA 5 and its next-gen online console component back in June, and at the moment, the couple simply said the ports would arrive sometime in 2021.. Now we know they will arrive more specifically in the second half of the year, probably in the fall.
During its latest earnings call, Take-Two Interactive confirmed the next gen version of GTA Online specifically will have brand new technical, visual and performance upgrades. For now, it’s unclear how extensive these upgrades will be, but it’s safe to assume it’s going to be similar to the jump we saw from PS3 and Xbox 360 to PS4 and Xbox One.
After the port will be a new round of updates, including the addition of new exclusive content that will not be on the current gen versions of the game, which sound like they could be left sooner rather than later.
In addition, Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive will offer a standalone version for GTA Online, which is available exclusively for the first three months of release on PS5. If you’re on PS5 and claim the game during this three month period, you’ll be able to keep the game and play it as much as you want, as long as you keep an active subscription to PlayStation Plus. At the time, there was no word of a similar offering for Xbox Series X.
Although we will not be seeing the game for the first time until July 2021, Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive have promised to provide more information on the next-gen versions of GTA 5 en GTA Online will be shared in the coming months before the start of the year.
