Meanwhile,Grand Theft Auto Vstill rolls on strong. The modern console version of the PS3 and Xbox 360-era open-world game arriveson June 27, 2025. Story Mode progress carries over from previous generations too, as long as it’s within the same console family.
The newer-gen version ofGrand Theft Auto Vwill have up to 4K resolution, up to 60 frames per second, draw distance and texture upgrades, HDR options, and ray-tracing. Plus, there will be the faster loading times we’ve become accustomed to with this new console generation. Thinking back on the load-in times for the Xbox 360 version ofGTA V, that sounds heavenly.
A standalone version ofGTA Onlinewill also be launching, available for free for the first three months to PS5 owners. So you can enter Los Santos alone or with pals. Between the everlastingGTA Vand the game beyond it, sounds like there’s a lot of heists and crimes in the future.
