Grand Theft Auto V, Rockstar’s acclaimed open-world action game, is coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in March 2022, and many people are questioning whether or not it will be a free upgrade for existing customers. With a game as popular as this, it’s unsurprising that the upgrade won’t be free. However, this does not imply that you will have to start over in the new version.
Following the release of GTA V on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2013, the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S signify the third generation of consoles on which the game will be accessible. When GTA V was first released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2014, it took advantage of the platforms’ improved horsepower to provide a better overall experience.
With GTA V continuing to sell incredibly well—the game sold 5 million copies in the April-June quarter, bringing the total number of copies sold to 150 million—safe it’s to assume that Rockstar and parent company Take-Two will ride the wave as long as it’s profitable. The release date for GTA V on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S was originally slated for November 11, but Rockstar has pushed it back to March 15, 2022 to allow the developers more time to “finish and fine-tune” the game.
Rockstar is rumoured to be working on Grand Theft Auto 6 in addition to GTA V for new platforms. According to a recent estimate, it might debut in 2025 and contain a map inspired by Fortnite that changes over time. The game is believed to take place in the present day vice City.
