And now, finally, three years later, Rockstar brings all of this (and more) PC players to a new free update that is planned next month.
On February 20, Rockstar Games officially announced that all “next-gen” functions can be seen in the 2022 console connections of GTA V finally came to the PC via a massive, free update on March 4.
This includes brand new ray tracing options that are currently not available on the console, as well as all ray purity shadows and reflection options, as faster loading times via SSD and direct storage. GTA V DualSense controllers also support on the PC and these send adaptive triggers after the update arrives in March. And yes, you will also receive new options for higher resolution and faster frame rate options.
Remember that this big update can not only look better and load faster, but also gives new content in the already massive world of GTA onlineLike new possibilities, vehicles, animals on the map, the refined career progress and improved menus. Oh, and PC players can subscribe now GTA+, Rockstar's subscription service, which offers various bonuses and free games.
There will now be two PC connections from GTA V
Rockstar confirmed that PC players who have an upgrade received a free option for a unique character transfer. The company promises to update and support both versions of GTA V On the PC, i.e. people who cannot run the new version or have many Mods Because an upgrade does not have to update soon.
Here is the catch, because there is always a catch: when you update the PC version of GTA V and transfer your GTA online Character, they will not be able to play with people who have not yet been updated.
“Please note that the original version of to maintain this support GTA online A separate instance will be on the PC, and players who stay on this version cannot play together with the version on the updated version, ”explained Rockstar. “PC players who want to play with each other have to make sure they play the same version of the game.”
According to Rockstar, both versions will be available for everyone on the PC, themselves first buyers, so that they can always play with their friends. It could mean that you have to install two versions of the game, depending on who you play with, which somehow sounds silly, even if I understand why.
Regardless of this hanging, it is nice to see GTA VPresent Even if we are probably less than a year from the publication of GTA 6. This game will not be on the PC at the start anyway, so PC player can enjoy a better version of enjoy GTA V while you are waiting for the inevitable port. Let's hope it doesn't take three years.
