News: Rockstar has finally revealed when we will be able to get our hands on Grand Theft Auto 5 for the current generation of consoles.
Earlier today Rockstar revealed when we can expect to play Grand Theft Auto 5 on Xbox One and PS4 as well as on PC. Unfortunately for PC gamers they will have to wait a little longer than Xbox One and PS4 gamers though. Beginning on November 18, 2014, the Xbox One and PS4 versions will be available both as a physical product and as a digital download on Xbox Live and PSN respectively. A couple months later on January 27, 2015, PC gamers will finally get their chance to experience Rockstar’s latest masterpiece.
Grand Theft Auto 5 for Xbox One, PS4 and PC will feature a range of major visual and technical upgrades to make Los Santos and Blaine County more immersive than ever. In addition to increased draw distances and higher resolution, players can expect a range of additions and improvements including:
New weapons, vehicles and activities
Additional wildlife
Denser traffic
New foliage system
Enhanced damage and weather effects, and much more
This latest version of Grand Theft Auto 5 will also feature enhanced radio selections with over 100 additional new songs and new DJ mixes from returning DJs across the game’s 17 radio stations.
All players who pre-order the game will get $1,000,000 in-game bonus cash to spend across Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online (GTA$500K each for your Story Mode and for your GTA Online in- game bank accounts).
A host of new, exclusive content also awaits for players returning from the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions including rare versions of classic vehicles to collect from across the Grand Theft Auto series such as the Dukes, the Dodo Seaplane and a faster, more maneuverable Blimp; activities including wildlife photography and new shooting range challenges, new weapons and more.
Enhancements to Grand Theft Auto Online include an increased player count, with online play now for up to 30 players on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. All existing gameplay upgrades and Rockstar-created content released since the launch of Grand Theft Auto Online will also be available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC with much more to come.
Existing players will be able to transfer their Grand Theft Auto Online characters and progression to their choice of PlayStation 4, Xbox One or PC. For more info about gaining access to exclusive content for returning players, please visit rockstargames.com/V/bonuscontent.
