The promised PlayStation 5 version of Grand Theft Auto V (along with GTA Online) will release on 11th November 2021, Rockstar has confirmed. The developer casually let the release date slip in its latest blog update, promising an "expanded and enhanced" edition of the ridiculously successful open world game.
It also sounds like GTA Online players have something to look forward to this summer: "As an added bonus, this summer's updates to GTA Online will include special benefits for players to take advantage of in these expanded and enhanced versions when they drop." More details are coming soon, apparently.
Rockstar also reiterates its deal with Sony: "This new standalone version of GTA Online will be available for free exclusively to PlayStation 5 players during the first three months."
So there you have it: Grand Theft Auto V has a PS5 release date out of nowhere. Dare we ask if you'll be playing it on Sony's current-gen system? Wonder if we'll ever get Grand Theft Auto 6 in the comments section below.

Waiting for GTA 7🤣
I'm guessing no free upgrade?
It sounds stupid but I’m actually looking forward to playing this again. Haven’t played the campaign in ages and I’d be happy with an extended version. Obviously not a patch on a whole new game though.
Only about 6 months until GTAV reclaims the #1 spot in the UK charts
I only ever played the single player campaign on PS3 waaaaay back in glorious 720p, mid 20fps with tons of aliasing, so may revisit on PS5 if it's boosted up quite a bit graphically etc to look good on my 4K OLED.
Might be time to finally play it.
Are they selling the port for $70? If so, that time may be in the far distant future still.
Rockstar released a grand total of 1 new game all last gen (RDR2). Let's hope this gen fares better but somehow I'm skeptical, especially after the departures of Dan Houser and Lazlow Jones, two instrumental people in their past success.
Doesn't sound like a free upgrade is going to be available.
Well that came outta nowhere!
So 11th November, I will give it some thought, if it's not a free upgrade though I think I will just go with the free GTA Online standalone.
TBH I do not expect much, I've been around this game since 2013 so unless something 'radical' happens with the enhanced edition my money will stay where it is.
Weirdly havent played GTV5 to the end, I guess I left it around 25% story mode... so I might play it... it was fun, but the 30FPS on PS4/PRO was like not so good.
beat this game on the ps3, ps4, might as well go for it on the 5. Looking forward to November!
The GTA III anniversary mentioned on the blog post seems worthy of mention surely?
I wish people would stop buying stuff for GTA online so they would concentrate on making NEW games
But why would they stop supporting a cash cow which makes millions in crappy DLC guns/cars/outfits
And it will continue to be in the top 10 every month for a whole new generation lol! Happy for me and the other 7 people in the world who've never played it!
@Jacko11 is it getting a remaster?
@Mellors86x billions in cash at this point, why do you think they are re releasing again on ps5?
Man I f***ing hate gta online its the reason we didn’t get a new gta game in almost 10 years.
I'd only consider getting this if the graphical enhancements were very good and hopefully some new missions added into the mix! Plus everything available in online is then added to the solo mode. Not overly interested in online, that ship set sail long ago.
Remember when rockstar made more than 2 games a generation....
I miss those days.
I’d like to say no one cares but it will probably go straight to number one.
@Loftimus you’ll have to click to the blog post as no details were provided here in the article 😂🤷🏻♂️
The day 1 hype for GTAV has died for me, so i won't be taking the plunge (it's all about timing in the HYPE trade). Plus, £60 for an 8 year old game doesn't sit right with me either.
I am a disgruntled customer though, so i'm bound to spend less...
@Skywalker1080p give it 20 years we will have 7 just need 6 first 🤣
@Jacko11....... Are you lying to me?
Will only play this if the 'expanded' stuff is new story content. Ive not played since completing the PS3 version despite having a sealed PS4 copy on my shelf, so i probably would be willing to give the SP mode another shot under the right circumstances
Oh god :@ when will this god forsaken game die
I'd love a RDR2 upgrade.
I'm looking forward to this, though whether I'm day one depends on how extensive the remaster is. I enjoyed the campaign and would give it another whirl. I actually have no idea what a gta6 looks like at this stage. Real life feels like it's already a parody these days!
@4kgk2 it's pure cancer at this point
@Spyroescape the dead horse is truly dead and rotten
@Loftimus see the new article they just posted separately
I don't get it will it be free to play on ps5 for the first 3 months then you have to buy it or will you be able to claim it in your library & keep it like a ps plus game
Gta 5 the g.o.a.t enough said.word up son
Time to buy it a 6th time 😂
Is not gta 6? Not playing gta 5 old just because better graphucs, content, etc. Is the same ***** game strategy! Plz learn to make a good and real gta like san andreas. No spacial cannon, mkll, crap that make the online experience a RAGE playing in the park!
@Spyroescape agree!!!!
Dear god just make 6 already!!
I have the game on Xbox 360, Xbox One and recently purchased again on PS4 for $20. I'm excited to play the campaign again after about 6 years or so. I wanted to play the PS4 version on my PS5 but I'll wait until the upgrade now. I wish the single player received DLC but with the popularity of GTA Online it's unfortunately understandable 😒.
GTA V is my GOAT game. Had it on PS3, still have the PS4 version & will probably get it again on PS5. But I just wish Rockstar would give us GTA 6.
I’m disappointed that they’ve never even gave us any single player DLC. (Thanks GTA online)🙄.
Never really got into GTA online. Then again I’m not really a big online player.
I wish this game had died years ago, well, it did for me.
It’s crazy that a game similar to this, Sleeping Dogs, and Saints Row 2 hasn’t released.
Christ this is depressing news.
The sad thing is not that they'll be releasing this at full price for the third time in as many console generations, the sad thing is it'll still sell like hotcakes despite being a 2013 PS3 clunky, outdated piece of wood.
PlayStation 6 will come sooner than GTA6
I’m guessing they’re gonna add a lot of canned dlc. If this game looks or handled like it did on PS3 then rockstar are the biggest crooks
Just ridiculous that cashing in on the same game for decades is becoming the new norm along with half baked remasters.
Stop condoning this garbage with your purchases
Get this to f e c k.......sick of seeing the game over so many generations.
This game needs to die , its going on 10 god damn years soon .
@clvr exactly , i don't think a lot of people realize that this is still a damn PS3 game . People would be surprised at just how outdated the game is if they made a GTA 6 . It'll be like the jump from Mortal Kombat 10 to 11 . Sad the PS4 potential was never reached with a GTA game of its own .
@LTPenguin
It's a shame they are putting it on PS5 at all. Ridiculous.
Nah can’t say I’m that bothered after completing the SP on PS3/4, but seeing how much money this game’s making am hardly surprised.
I’ll hold out for GTA6 whenever that turns up. At this rate 2025 probably…
@LTPenguin @Hatsune_Miku @mwatcher @Voltan I doubt they will be offering a free upgrade for PS4/XB1 owners.
@Would_you_kindly The "3 free months" is only referring to GTA Online, not GTA 5 itself.
@ApostateMage Same here, but only if we also get a remake of RDR1, using RDR2's game engine.
Seriously I am not buying this again. 🤣
If it's not a free upgrade then I will hold off. Bought it on PS3, then bought it on PS4, certainly not going to give Rockstar more money just to have it on PS5.
They said the night of the ps5 showcase this would be a free upgrade
I'm not sure what the,'free for 3 months means'..
Is it PS+ like you can pick it up for free in PS5 for 3 months and then it's in your library forever?
Or is it you can play it for free for 3 months only rental like?
I recently replayed the PS3 version and I still absolutely love the game, so I’ll definitely be getting it for PS5. I’m a bit concerned that they haven’t showed any screenshots yet. Could be because it’s a bare bones port and they know people will be disappointed. Or it could be a massive graphical upgrade and they want to surprise people.
@Optimusprime706 I don’t think they did.
Everyone over here complaining about why they haven't release GTA6 yet... I just like, if they want to top RDR2. It only gonna take them another 5 years.
Won't be able to purchase the damn PS5 until 2022 at the earliest, so I don't give a d*mn. But R* ain't the game makers the used to be, as in they don't make new games anymore ... :-/
No thanks Rockstar. Bought it on PS3 & played it to death, then bought it on PS4 cos of the graphical upgrades, found there wasn’t much of a difference & hardly played it. I’m not in the least bit interested in GTA Online. Any chance of a new game instead?
I'm so sick of this. I wish Rockstar would move on but as long as people keep buying it there's no incentive for them to.
