Grand Theft Auto 5 PS5, Xbox Series pricing detailed; no free upgrades

Time to reach into that wallet if you want current-gen goodness.

Grand Theft Auto 5 PS5 and Xbox Series pricing was today revealed, and players might be surprised to learn that free upgrade paths will not be offered to those who’ve purchased the game on PS4 or Xbox One.

Or PS3 or Xbox 360 for that matter.

Because of a marketing deal with Sony, Grand Theft Auto 5 on current-gen consoles basically has two sets of price points: one for PlayStation and the other for Xbox. Here’s what to expect on both.
