GTA 5 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S will come with better graphics, HDR, 4K gameplay at 60fps frame rate, and ray tracing, along with features like 3D audio. All this, paired with PlayStation 5 DualSense controller’s adaptive triggers and next-gen haptic system.

In the new GTA Online, gamers will get the option of skipping the GTA 5 Story Mode prologue before entering Online mode. This will grant users access to in-game currency.
