Report: GTA V PS5 Upgrade to Be Free If You Own It on PS4 Says Retailer

It looks like those who own Grand Theft Auto V on PS4 will get a free GTA V PS5 upgrade according to a retailer.

mrsolidsteel201719d ago (Edited 1719d ago )

They kind of have too, seeing how every single game has a copy of the game...

Nitrowolf21719d ago

yeah I agree, crazy the game still sells that good but having to be one three whole generations. I can still see it selling really well on next-gen tbh.

me hoping those loading screens are a thing of the past with the PS5 version.

ClayRules20121719d ago

Yeah it’s crazy how well this game still sells. I don’t doubt it’ll sell well on next gen too for those who don’t own it. I keep think to myself “who hasn’t played or owned this game by now?” But I know there are people out there that haven’t.

And yeah, those loading screens are just miserable.

GameZenith1719d ago

McDonald's burgers sells a lot to. Goes to show America's obsession with fast food and not healthy eating.

Point is, GTA5 selling a lot is more so about blind consumerism

anast1719d ago

I haven't played it yet lol

roadkillers1719d ago

If I were Rockstar, I wouldn't. Very good of them. Although most of their income might be onlibe instead

LOGICWINS1719d ago

Well yeah, that's how it should be.

excaliburps1719d ago

Yeah, but unfortunately, that's not the case. NBA 2K21, Control, Black Ops Cold War are but just a few of not offering free upgrades.:(

solidsnake2221719d ago

And Spider-Man. I was really hoping for that one.

MrBeatdown1719d ago

Cold War is $70 for PS4 and PS5. Not really a big deal considering a lot of games will be $70 anyway.

mrsolidsteel201718d ago

@Logicwins

The question that comes into play right now, is what is the difference between an upgraded patch vs a remastered game?

They are some developers saying that their game is receiving an upgraded patch (free of charge) to have 4K, 60fps, RT, etc.

While others, like Sony, is charging players again for the same features, at least when it comes to Spider-Man.

It sucks, because we have to see the game in action to see if this decision is warranted.

LOGICWINS1718d ago

From what I gather, Spiderman PS5 will have completely new assets for character models and environmental objects. IMO that would make an "upgrade" worth the money.

DragonWarrior191719d ago

Breaking news: About something they told us at the first PS5 showcase...it was literally the first announcement!

Nitrowolf21719d ago (Edited 1719d ago )

that was GTA online being free for PS Plus subscribers on PS5, they have yet to specify the details for GTA 5 other than its coming to the platform

jukins1719d ago

Lol don't know why you got down voted. And even more its only free for 3 months.
I dont know id be surprised if its really a free upgrade.

DragonWarrior191718d ago

The announcement was for GTAV, GTA Online is attached to GTAV.

Muzikguy1719d ago

This whole GTAV thing makes me mad. Because of how it's been milked it pretty much guarantees the same will happen with 6. I'm worried about the next game, and even though this is free, I doubt I'll be getting it. I bought it on PS3 and that was enough. Bought it ON PS4 for the upgrade and first person but it wasn't enough to keep me going a second time

MrBeatdown1719d ago

I feel like asking gamers to pay for a third version might have been a tough sell.

Milk...get your milk...and so much more. Really when you release the same games in three editions over 15 years it's amazing how much money, and the amount of sales you earn. It's amazing how no one can compete.

Mr_cheese23d ago

To be fair, no many companies could release the same game over and over. They've earned that whether we agree or not

DarXyde23d ago

I mean Resident Evil 4 has had longer legs and still hasn't done anything like this.

Profchaos23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

GTA v isn't the only game that's released three consoles generations running but nothing has sold those numbers including GTA San Andreas which is now 4 console generations deep.

anast23d ago

Looks like a 2040 release for GTA6

gold_drake23d ago

thats insane right?
absolutely insane

rlow122d ago

No surprising considering that it’s been on every major platform and store.

I decided to look up the longest and most sold games list. To my surprise Tetris has takes the top spot.

I mean, considering the amount of time between the two. It better be a massive upgrade. Especially with the amount of money Rockstar raked in from GTA Online.

MDTunkown30d ago

Most of scenes are pre rendered

andy8530d ago

Literally none are. If you know anything about rockstar they don't do that. Confirmed by themselves that this is all in-game

MDTunkown30d ago

Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?
Rockstar told 50% are cutscenes and rockstars always used better models during cutscenes than in game.
You legit seems to know rockstar very well.

andy8530d ago (Edited 30d ago )

It didn't though? And neither did RDR2. In fact it was actually the opposite. What's with the hate boner? If you don't like it just avoid the topic

InUrFoxHole29d ago

Why don't either of you provide proof. This is just a he said, she said argument at this point

generic-user-name30d ago

You're either lying or just don't know what pre rendered means. Pre rendered means that if you change the character's appearance (clothes, accessories etc) they wouldn't show up in the cutscenes because they were already made and aren't being rendered in real time. This is something that doesn't happen in Rockstar games.

"Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?"

In fact some of the scenes in RDR2 looked better in the retail version than at launched.

anast30d ago

The OP is taking the shot-gun approach: say a bunch of random tripe and see if something sticks.

repsahj30d ago

Damn! GTAV graphics are still awesome! But, I am so excited to play GTA6!!!

GTA V Gets Pulled from PS Plus as PC Players Continue to Favor Legacy Over Enhanced

I believe it's been on ps+ a few times over the years of I'm not mistaking same goes for gamepass.

‘GTA V Gets Pulled from PS Plus as PC Players Continue to Favor Legacy Over Enhanced’

That’s an awful clickbait title. The use of the word ‘as’ means the first statement is the result of the second, when in reality they’re not connected.

Profchaos43d ago

Also the same for red dead redemption 2 and GTA trilogy (albeit they split that into individual games)

Tacoboto43d ago

It just got put back on Game Pass recently too.

GTA V is the pass-around sub title, and it probably doesn't even matter because everyone owns a copy or even two by now.

FortWaba43d ago

Trash article and trash website.

Doesn't even mention WHEN it's leaving.

gold_drake42d ago (Edited 42d ago )

so i looked cause i was curious, its still avaliable to me.

the headline is misleading asf.

also, how did no one report this. the editing is horrendous. they'd have my arse for this ha

gamerz42d ago

Noticed my copy of gta5 on Steam was already upgraded without me doing anything. How can you still play the legacy version?

Shiore2u42d ago

There should be a second listing right under it in your library.

Chard42d ago

Is there anything wrong with the enhanced version if you’re just playing single player?
