GTA V, more alive than ever after three generations
The fifth installment of the Grand Theft Auto saga was back on everyone’s lips recently due to being available for free for a time at the Epic Games Store. The crazy adventure of Trevor, Michael and Franklin has already survived three generations of consoles since, we remember, GTA V was first released on PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2013 and relaunched on PS4 and Xbox One, as well as on PC. As detailed in an official statement from Rockstar:
“The new generation versions of GTA V will include all sorts of technical, visual and performance enhancements that will take full advantage of the technological benefits this hardware offers to make the game better visually and more interactive than ever.”
As for GTA Online, it is a complement to the original game that has ended up forming an ecosystem full of passionate players. From the company in charge they assure that they will continue updating the title and adding exclusive content for both the PC version and the new consoles. As for the standalone version of GTA Online that will arrive in the second half of 2021, “it will be available exclusively and free of charge for PlayStation 5 players for the first three months.”
