Grand Theft Auto 5 comes to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X tomorrow, 15th March. Yes, the game that once launched on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 nine years ago lives to see yet another release on yet another generation of hardware. And its reincarnation comes with significant improvements like 4K crispness, 60 frames-per-second silkiness, texture upgrades, draw-distance upgrades, HDR options and ray-tracing. Whew.
How much it will cost you depends on where you buy it. Suffice to say ‘it’s complicated’. In summary, there are two products – GTA 5 Story Mode and GTA Online – and they’re available separately or bundled. PS5 has the better deal but there are discounts on both console ecosystems, explained in another article on the site.
