Rockstar Games has confirmed what we already knew about them, and the studio has finally revealed when the latest re-release of Grand Theft Auto V, which has been out for almost nine years now (it’s a joke even to mention it…), will be available.
Rockstar has announced on its website that the latest Grand Theft Auto has been in development for some time. “With the unprecedented longevity of Grand Theft Auto V, we know many of you have been asking us about a new entry in the Grand Theft Auto series. With every new project we embark on, our goal is always to move beyond what we have previously delivered significantly—and we are pleased to confirm that active development for the next entry in the Grand Theft Auto series is well underway. We look forward to sharing more as soon as we are ready, so please stay tuned to the Rockstar Newswire for official details,” the studio wrote, so if we write about the game from now on, it’s likely to be through rumours…
In the same blog post, the studio confirmed the release date for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series version of Grand Theft Auto V. New graphical modes (up to 4K resolution and 60 FPS), texture and draw distance enhancements, HDR, ray tracing, faster load times, 3D audio, and platform-specific features (such as DualSense haptic feedback on PlayStation 5) will be included in the version that will debut on March 15.
Grand Theft Auto Online will also receive a standalone version, free for three months from launch on PlayStation 5. GTA Online will also see other changes: you can skip the prologue of Grand Theft Auto V’s much-ignored single-player mode before playing, a new tutorial will arrive, and newcomers will start in Career Builder. Immediately, four industry positions (biker, executive, nightclub owner, or gunrunner) open up to them, and they’re given fair dough to buy an estate, a higher-end vehicle, and weapons to start their career. Players returning to the game but restarting with a new character will also access Career Builder. And in Hao’s Special Works car shop, five new and five existing vehicles can be tuned for driving performance that “takes full advantage of the upgraded power of the new console hardware.”
You can see where Rockstar and Take-Two’s priorities lie…
