Grand Theft Auto V on PS5 will officially run at 4K/60fps

It's been eight years since "Grand Theft Auto V" was released on a variety of platforms. But thanks to its vast explorable world and immersive Grand Theft Auto Online mode, the game still has a lot of life left in it; it debuts on the Xbox Series X and PS5 on November 11, at least on the latter console, with 4K resolution and per second 60 frames per second.

This information comes from the official German PlayStation Blog, translated by Google Translate. The main thrust of the post is simple: Sony is introducing a variety of high-profile titles that will be released for PS4 and PS5 in the second half of 2021. These titles include Sony exclusives like "Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut" and third-party titles like "Tales of Arise". However, towards the end of the post, Sony mentions "Grand Theft Auto V", its resolution, frame rate, etc.

"You've never seen the skyline shine and the criminal metropolis of Los Santos look so beautiful thanks to a bold graphics update with crisp 4K resolution ...... (and) smooth 60fps," the post explains.

"An eight-year-old game running with better graphics on PS5" may not be such shocking news, but it is good to see that Rockstar and Sony have put some effort into updating their game for the latest platform. The blog post itself acknowledges that many players have already experienced "GTAV" on PS3 and are experiencing it again on PS4.

For obvious reasons, Sony's blog post does not mention whether the Xbox Series X/S version of "GTAV" will feature similar graphics updates. However, since the Xbox Series X is slightly more powerful than the PS5, it stands to reason that Microsoft's console should be able to pull off similar tricks. (The Xbox Series S's resolution limit is 1440p, but it should still be able to tackle games at 60fps.)

For readers wondering what else they can expect on the PlayStation system by the end of the year, the post also mentions Aliens: Fireteam Elite, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Life is Strange: True Colors, Deathloop, Battlefield 2042, and Ghostrunner. Whether you're looking for a multiplayer shooter, a single-player shooter, a traditional action/adventure, or a chaotic open world, there's sure to be something to your liking in the games coming to PS4 and PS5 by the end of the year.

Tom's Guide will be posting reviews and additional information on these games as they become available, so stay tuned for more information. And if you are a frustrated gamer who has yet to find a PS5, we are here to help you find one.
