Rockstar has lastly outlined what enhancements we are able to anticipate to see in GTA 5 Enhanced Version. However I’m undecided they’re substantial sufficient to tempt gamers again to Los Santos for what may probably be the fourth time.
GTA 5 Enhanced Version has already come underneath hearth for trying “exactly the same”, at the very least in line with some commenters, who slammed the sport’s newest trailer on YouTube. And now that Rockstar has outlined what gamers can anticipate from GTA 5 Enhanced Version from a technical perspective, I doubt that narrative will change anytime quickly.In a blog post on Rockstar’s web site, the writer stated that GTA 5 Enhanced Version will characteristic “graphics modes with up to 4K resolution up to 60 frames per second, texture and draw distance upgrades, HDR options and ray-tracing, as well as offering the technical advancements of the latest console generation with faster loading times, immersive 3D audio, platform-specific features like advanced haptic feedback, and much more.”
That every one sounds very a lot par for the course in terms of the vast majority of PS5 and Xbox Series X video games, which isn’t a foul factor, after all. However what’s exhausting to find out from the above is whether or not Rockstar is evaluating different technical enhancements – like texture and draw distance upgrades, in addition to quicker load instances – to the PS4 and Xbox One variations of the sport, or to the PC model.
If it’s the previous, then the Enhanced Version will merely deliver the fourth launch of GTA 5 in step with a model that's now nearly seven years previous. Sure, ray-tracing will likely be a genuinely new addition (exterior of the PC modding group), however I’m pretty assured that “up to 60fps” received’t be doable if you wish to benefit from this graphically-intensive characteristic. We’ve seen this play out on numerous PS5 and Xbox Series X titles already – like Management: Final Version, Watch Canines: Legion, Dying Gentle 2, and plenty of more. These video games all drop to 30fps when ray tracing is enabled, which is rarely a sacrifice I’m keen to make.
Wasted alternative

There’s solely a lot they'll do with the sport’s core graphics with out endeavor a drastic overhaul, so it’s simple to really feel like 4K definitely reached the purpose of diminishing returns. It helps that GTA 5 was at all times a looker, however in comparison with the video games of at present? Not a lot.
It’s admittedly good to see that GTA 5 Enhanced Version will obtain DualSense and 3D audio help on PS5, however once more, that’s to be anticipated – significantly as third-party builders have embraced the distinctive options of Sony’s console.
And what of GTA 5 as an entire? Does it nonetheless maintain up by at present’s requirements? Most likely not, though it continues to promote by the bucket load. The sport’s story is noticeably outdated, which isn’t shocking contemplating it was written a decade in the past.
The core gameplay loop additionally falls brief, because it primarily revolves round touring from one level to a different, with a little bit of motion in between. We have seen different open-world video games accomplish that way more.

So, is GTA 5 Enhanced Version on PS5 and Xbox Series X price shopping for? If one way or the other you have but to expertise the story of Michael, Trevor, and Franklin, then certain.
