GTA V is almost on the verge of completing its decade in the gaming ecosystem. This has to be the longest Rockstar Games have waited before rolling out a sequel for the popular franchise. The next-gen upgrade, though not a sequel, promises awesome visual upgrades, 4K resolution, ray-tracing, and an impressive 60 FPS.
Equipped with 3 visual settings, gamers can switch between performance, ray-tracing, and performance RT at any moment. This release will also add more content to GTA Online that fans have grown to enjoy since the release. Thus far, the studio hasn’t laid a concrete way to transfer your data from the old-gen console to the next-gen devices. On the contrary, a Twitter user has uncovered a simple way to make it happen, and it involves a few easy steps.
