Rockstar Games Rockstar Games has dropped some fresh Grand Theft Auto news, though it's not exactly the update everyone's been waiting for. Starting on June 18, if you own Grand Theft Auto V on PS4 or have the digital Xbox One edition, you can upgrade to the PS5 or Xbox Series X/S version for free. The current-gen version — which arrived in March 2022 and was initially available as a paid upgrade — features visual enhancements and performance boosts, such as faster switching between the three protagonists. You can transfer your save data and Online progress when you upgrade.
GTA V players on PC can score a free upgrade from an older version to the Enhanced edition (which arrived last year) as well. Rockstar says that, along with the same upgrades the current-gen console versions have, the Enhanced edition includes PC-exclusive features such as ray-traced ambient occlusion and global illumination.
