Rockstar Games Presses On Next-Gen Enhancements For Grand Theft Auto V When It Arrives To New Hardware This Month

While the joke is pinned on Bethesda and Capcom for milking the cow dry with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Resident Evil 4 respectively, Rockstar Games is in the same boat with Grand Theft Auto V. This month, the 2013-released title is set to release once again; this time for Xbox Series & PlayStation 5. But, there is more to elaborate on these iterations of the game.

Earlier this year, Rockstar Games officially shared that this flavor of Grand Theft Auto V will finally smoothen the performance for the game on console. Additionally, resolution will be improved to a 4K output alongside raytracing integration as well. Noted, the firm also officially discloses work has commenced internally on the next Grand Theft Auto game at the same time.

This week, Rockstar Games goes on to press on what specifically will be featured for the new improvements for Grand Theft Auto V on Xbox Series X|S alongside PlayStation 5. For the most part, PC graphical options are coming with three different mode options: Fidelity Mode, Performance Mode, and Performance RT.

Choose from one of three detailed new graphics settings to tailor your gameplay experience for what matters most to you. Fidelity Mode is tuned for the highest visual quality and targets 30 FPS. In this mode the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X support native 4K resolution with ray tracing enabled while the Xbox Series S supports upscaled 4K resolution. Performance Mode is tuned for the most responsive gameplay experience and targets 60 FPS.

In this mode the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X support upscaled 4K resolution while the Xbox Series S supports a resolution of 1080p. In addition, the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X have Performance RT mode, a hybrid of the Fidelity and Performance modes supporting upscaled 4K resolution with ray tracing enabled and targeting 60 FPS.

“These new versions also offer across-the-board improvements including faster loading times, increased population and traffic variety, increased vegetation density, improved lighting quality across shadows, water reflections, and other elements. Plus improved anti-aliasing, motion-blur, highly detailed new explosions, fire, and much more,” Rockstar Games adds.

Reflecting on plans for the next Grand Theft Auto entry, Bloomberg Tech’s Jason Schreier did report on the matter previously. He told the next game is to feature a new trio of protagonists with one being a female lead. Atop of that it will return to Vice City once more and is projected to ship in the 2024-25 time frame.
