The standaloneGTA Onlinewill still be a timed freebie on PS5
Rockstar is taking some extra time to polish upGrand Theft Auto V‘s next-gen version. The studio announced today that the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions ofGrand Theft Auto VandGTA Onlineare targeting March 2022.
The new versions of the game, expected to bring technical and graphical boosts to bothGTAgames, is taking a few additional months for fine-tuning.
While the wait will be a bit longer than initially expected, the plan is still to bring both over, and to still offer a standalone version ofGTA Onlinefor next-gen in March. And we got alittle look at what’s in storeduring today’s PlayStation Showcase 2021:
GTA Onlinewill alsostill be free to claimfor PlayStation 5 owners during its first three months post-launch, once it goes live in March 2022. And PlayStation Plus owners can currently grab 1,000,000GTAbucks every month on the PS4 version ofGTA Onlineuntil the game launches on PS5 in March.
Though it’s a push backfrom its earlier date, a little fine-tuning will hopefully make theGrand Theft Auto Vexperience all the sweeter on next-gen. I’m interested to see more of what’s in store for the upgrade. But both the single-player Los Santos experience and itsOnlinecomponent have managed tostay pretty popular over the years, so it’s safe to say it’ll still make waves.
Grand Theft Auto VandGTA Onlinehead to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in March 2022.
