  1. Hopefully, someone can help me with this question. I already have a gta 5 disk that has everything on it for Xbox series x, but I was wondering if I bought the new digital standalone version, would all my data be saved automatically? Or would I still need to transfer my data even though it's already on my Xbox series x?

  2. If you keep spending money on a 10 year old game your never going to get the next release. From a business stand point there is absolutely no reason for RockStar to release GTA 6 in 2022, 2023 nor 2024.
    The Plan: Release some more DLC's, some events every quarter, and minor enhancements and gamers will still spend money on GTA5 and GTA online. ( there is 8 years worth of data to back up that statement, don't see its going to change anytime soon…)
    RockStar thinks so little of gamers to where they are willing to charge the same gamers $40 for a game with visual enhancements and quality of life updates…that price is almost 70% of what a new game costs and they know gamers are going to pay. Regardless if you spend $10 or $30, someone is subsidizing for the rest so Rock Star is going to get their money….

  3. So this isn't "everything I needed to know"…. you left out the most important piece of information….. if I "migrate" my current ps4 online character to my ps5… will I still be able to play with my ps4 friends? I can't believe this was left out of a video that claims to be everything I need to know. This seems to me like a top 3 thing to know about this new "version" of GTA.

  4. You forgot to mention that GTA Online is free for PS owners and the full story mode is only $10 for the first 3 months. I feel sorry for Xbox having to pay for online and full price.

  5. I do want to know what's new, content-wise, in story mode. PS4 / Xbox One added vehicles into NPC traffic that were only seen as DLC or Online exclusives in the PS3 / 360 versions. I hope they do the same here while also including the updated casino and adding some features and minigames from Online but I highly doubt it.

    Otherwise, I'd just stick to last-gen or the current PC version if the only major changes are just visuals and traffic density.

  6. So I wonder if this will have anything the PC version doesn't have, or if the PC version will get an update.
    Edit: I haven't played GTA V in a while but I don't think it has Ray-tracing on PC, so are qe gonna get an update that adds it?

  7. I just wanna know if it’s worth buying again I already have gta v installed on my series x but if all that changes fundamentally is graphics and I really gonna see a difference? Like I want new features an extended or new story mode or it’s basically just £20 spent for a new texture pack right?

  8. First third of video: here's how you get the new game and not lose hundreds, maybe thousands for some people, hours of progress

    Second third of video: they added some graphics mods that have already been out for years and used the phrase "targeted 60 frames per second" to manipulate some people into thinking the game will run better. Yippee, such innovation.

    Last third of video: T2 demands 8 more years of kids sacrificing mom's credit card for shark cards and ultimately MK2s, as is the way T2 prints money.

    Overall – get ready for… not much at all really

  9. Load times on PS5 are going to be much faster than PS4. The average heist prep mission has 5 or six load ins. Hope there is a way to know what players are on PS4 so we can kick them. I didn't pay for a PS5 so I can wait all day for them.

  10. For the xbox does anyone know if you're supposed to get a separate version for the story mode?
    Or if the xone version updates to x/s.
    It gave me the separate online version but I also thought the series version for story was needed to download as well but I don't have it?

  11. I bought the 20 xbox series x version when I pre install the game it’s saying gta online and makes a gta online icon in my games. It’s 87gb is that the full game or will the story be more space tomorrow. I have the Xbox one version on my hdd and that’s 95 gb. I’m a bit confused.
