Rockstar Reveals Major Plans to Debut the Next Generation of GTA V and GTA Online

The GTA V era is seemingly everlasting as the nearly decade-old RPG title continues to break records for the studio. This latest entry into the iconic franchise is by far the greatest GTA title Rockstar has ever produced. No other game of the studio has managed to stay relevant even after a decade, which serves as a great testament to its quality. Numerous iconic games have come out in the past decade, but Grand Theft Auto V continues to soar higher, as the studio continues to support the game.

The title has thus far managed to sell 160 million copies worldwide, and prior to the release of Diablo 3, it was also the highest seller of all time. Well, the next-gen upgrade will only skyrocket these figures, as the studio is gearing up to offer physical copies for Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 by April.

In addition to this, the game will also offer 3 new graphical settings that will cater to all the needs of the community. The Fidelity Mode will offer the highest visual settings with the best quality available, but limit your visuals will be to 30 FPS at 4K.

Performance Mode will be centered around offering the highest frames possible by sacrificing graphical quality. Lastly, Performance RT will serve as a bridge between the two offerings of both, focusing on providing 60 frames and upscaled 4K visuals.

Fans won’t have to worry about transferring their save files from previous-gen consoles, as the title will offer a one-time migration for the players to move their online profiles.
