Rockstar Games has confirmed that the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions ofGrand Theft Auto VandGTA Onlinewill launch on March 15.

While the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions ofGTA Vdon’t seem to add anything in the way of new story content,the blog post revealing the new dateexplains how they will utilize the power of the new systems. Rockstar Games promises 4K resolution and 60 frames-per-second (fps) support, better draw distance, more detailed textures, HDR, ray tracing, better loading times, haptic feedback, and 3D audio.

GTA Onlinewill see the same improvements, and will also get a stand-alone release for those just interested in multiplayer. Rockstar Games will no longer require players to completeGTA V‘s prologue before accessing it, and it’s getting a reworked tutorial as well. OnPS5 and Xbox Series X, Hao’s Special Works auto shop will be exclusively available, and will upgrade cars so they have “elite driving performance that takes full advantage of the upgraded power of new console hardware.”

The stand-alone version ofGTA Onlinewill be free on PS5 for the first three months. Rockstar Games also confirmed that players will be able to carry overGTA VandGTA Onlineprogression to these next-gen systems with a “one-time migration.”

These next-gen remasterswere announced in June 2020as the first reveal during Sony’s PS5 unveiling livestream. We have not seen much of the remasters since then, though. Last year, they were given aNovember 11 release date, but were eventually pushed to March 2022 because Rockstarthought the ports needed“a few additional months for polishing and fine-tuning.”

In its place, we gotGTA: The Trilogy — The Definitive Edition, remasters of three classic GTA games. Sadly, that collection came outbuggy and rushed, as it was clearly forced to launch on the dateGTA Vabandoned. Now, all eyes are on these next-gen ports ofGTA Vto see if they also have technical issues at release, or if this delay was beneficial.GTA VandGTA Onlinewill be released for PS5 and Xbox Series X on June 09, 2025. Oh, andGTA 6was finally announced, too.
