After over two years, PC players of Grand Theft Auto V are finally set to receive a major update that will bring their experience nearly in line with the console versions. Mark your calendars for March 4, as this update will integrate features from the native PS5 and Xbox Series versions that debuted in 2022. The best part? All current players will enjoy this upgrade for free, with seamless transfer of their progress in both GTA Online and the Story Mode, requiring no extra effort on their part.
The bulk of this upgrade is focused on GTA Online, where a substantial amount of content, previously exclusive to console players, will now be accessible to those on PC. Furthermore, the GTA+ subscription service, which offers perks like accelerated profit collection from in-game businesses, will also be available on PC. Rockstar Games hasn't forgotten about fair play either, enhancing the game's anti-cheat measures to ensure a level playing field.

Alongside new content, the update will bring significant graphical enhancements to the game. However, these improvements come with a caveat: increased system requirements. Players whose hardware can't meet these new demands will have the option to continue playing the older version, which will still receive support from the developers. It's important to note, though, that there won't be cross-version support, meaning players on different versions won't be able to play together.
