GTA V for PS5 Now Available for Pre-Download, Pricing Also Revealed

GTA V and Online for next-gen consoles are scheduled to release on March 15, 2022, and are currently available for pre-order on the PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store (for Xbox). Those who pre-order PS5 games will be able to pre-download GTA Online and Story Mode (separately) now from the PlayStation Store.

The game has a download size of around 86GB on PS5 and can be purchased for $9 (including online and story mode). To be the guy at this price, players don’t need to already have the game on PS4, and new players can also buy the game for $9.

The purchase will give players access to both the standalone Grand Theft Auto Online game and the story mode. The preloaded games will be unlocked on March 15, 2022.

GTA V and online available for preload on PS5

Rockstar Games has detailed the improvements that players can expect in the next generation version of the game. Both GTA V and Online will have 3 graphics modes, namely Performance, Quality and Performance RT.

While “Performance”and “Quality”are self-explanatory, the latter is the most interesting of all. Performance RT will render the game in upscaled 4K resolution with ray tracing enabled and will target 60fps. It’s extremely interesting as it’s one of the first games to feature a mode that delivers smooth performance at 60fps with ray tracing.

While PS5 and Xbox Series X owners are still looking forward to this one game that will unleash the full potential of consoles, with games aiming for 60 FPS or higher in 4K, it’s also a solid compromise.

It will be interesting to see if there are any gameplay changes in the next generation version, be it controls or animations. Rockstar Games has plans to further expand Grand Theft Auto Online with content updates possibly coming later this year.
