Grand Theft Auto 5 PS5, Xbox Series release coming 15 March

Grand Theft Auto Online is coming to current-gen consoles as well.

A Grand Theft Auto 5 (GTA V) PS5 and Xbox Series S & X has been confirmed by Rockstar for a 15 March 2022 release.

The release includes the popular Grand Theft Auto Online, as per a Rockstar announcement made in mid-2020.

“While we are extremely excited to be bringing GTAV to the latest generation of consoles, the game requires a few additional months for polishing and fine-tuning,” Rockstar advised in a press release. “We look forward to sharing more details about these expanded and enhanced versions soon, including the new standalone version of GTA Online also coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in March.

“And, to help get ready for launch, new and existing PlayStation Plus members can still take advantage of additional bonuses including GTA$1,000,000 every month for the PlayStation 4 version of GTA Online until the game launches on PlayStation 5 in March 2022. Players can claim their GTA$1,000,000 each month on PlayStation Store.

Update: In addition to the title’s 15 March release date, Rockstar confirmed that the titles will offer 4K resolution, HDR and ray tracing, improved draw distances, improved textures and up to 60 frames-per-second (FPS).

While PS4 and Xbox One progress can be transferred over to their current-gen counterparts, it’s unclear if the new iterations will be offered up for free. We’ll keep you updated as we learn more.

Rockstar also confirmed that development of Grand Theft Auto 6 is underway.

Expect Grand Theft Auto 5 (GTA V) on PS5 and Xbox Series S & X from 15 March 2022. It’s already available on Windows PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3 and PS4.
