Current PC owners are able to download the Expanded and Enhanced edition via their game launcher. This will result in that original Legacy version removed from stores. Players must migrate your Story Mode and Online progress to the updated version and players who play multiplayer must be aware that their friends must play the same version of the game in order for play.

This update brings with it several noteworthy enhancements, such as ray-traced reflections and shadows, enhanced graphics options, as well as compatibility with AMD FSR and Nvidia DLSS technologies - offering PC gamers equipped with compatible hardware the chance to benefit from higher resolutions, increased aspect ratios and faster frame rates. PlayStation players who have DualSense controllers will benefit from the addition of an adaptive trigger feature.

The update includes security features based on kernels that protect against cheating as well as voice chat moderation, new vehicles, as well as Chameleon Paints. Rockstar has added a number of minimum and recommended PC specs to allow these features.

To help you get the best deal, Rockstar is offering a 50% reduction on GTA V next-gen update across Steam and the Epic Games Store, reducing the cost to PS14.99 through March 20. The update comes with anticipation building to Grand Theft Auto VI which is expected to release this fall and the PC version expected to launch in the early 2026.
