How about just writing an article when they spill the beans? I love this site, but drip feeding info on GTA V? Doesn't it come across as a bit click bait-y, or is it just me?
I assure you guys I mean no disrespect!!
Well I will only be interested in GTA V on PS5............. IF, Rockstar gives a free next gen upgrade.
I mean, Rockstar makes all there money on GTA online with there shark cards right? So a free upgrade won't bankrupt them.
I am not going to pay £60-£70 for a game I have already purchased at full price on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4?
Making us pay full price for the same game that's rumoured at 4K graphics and 60FPS? Is criminal
Could have done with waiting a little bit on this one, chaps.
It's for seo. Gets traffic to the site and pays for all the reporting we enjoy. Articles like this are necessary.
The only question I'm asking myself is am I going to buy this a third time. I think the answer is no but if there are good deals on it eventually ( there will be imo ) I might.
I really enjoyed this single player experience but I don't think I can play it through a 4th time. Probably.
Not paying full price, but are you going to pay that £10 upgrade fee games were going to have but never did?
@BNAG_Gamer GTA V Expanded and Enhanced PS5 version will be a free upgrade to anyone who own the PS4 version of the game! You won't have to purchase the Expanded Version if you still own your PS4 copy. I have mine digitally so it's a bit easier but I think it'll be just put your PS4 disc in the PS5 to play the Expanded Version! Happy gaming ✌️
@cali_kush70 False.
Only GTA Online will be available for free to PS+ subscribers for a period of 3 months.
The full game itself is not upgradable, you can only buy it full price.
You left your keywords in bold!
@MaxDiehard wow that's a shame, they haven't shown us anything in regards to what we'll be getting with the Expanded and Enhanced version & the way it was announced lead me to believe otherwise. Thank you for clearing that up, hopefully we'll get a look at what these upgrades on PS5 will offer, until then I won't plan on purchasing the game full price for the 3rd time now. Geez they are bold in believing people will run out and buy a game that was built on PS360 hardware just cuz it offers better textures, load times & 60 fps. Those are great upgrades but does it warrant playing the same game over again? That's what I'm personally on the fence about. Thanks again for the info 👍
Might want to actually get some of your facts straight I don't know where you get 32 player lobbies from for ps4 as the maximum is 30
What is the point of this article, it's pure click bait. Also it shows There is such a lack of quality games these days when so many people are playing a 8 year old game. Their new game is going to blow open the side of the planet when it drops, think cyberfake hype x 10. It's crazy how much money this game keeps making lol. It's like a printing press.
How about a Hot Coffee mod snuck into the update
Bet that would drive some serious sales
Wait till you have the info til you have the info fellas. I only see these type of prematurely ejaculated articles on pushsquare.
Still hoping they'll have vr support...buying a 3rd time for a framerate and resolution increase ain't doing it.
Not long finished gta v. Will wait for gta 6. Pointless getting gtav again on the ps5. Would have if it had totally different missions
@Mynameishello You were dealing with Sony Europe executives? What did you do to them?
The most important one. 60fps.
The game is only £8.75 on ps store so a no brainer
