The jokes about buying Grand Theft Auto V again have by early 2022 become a mainstay of the gaming community. Perhaps the best selling video game of all time, GTA V first released in September 2013 on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. We played it on both, and since then also bought it on Xbox One, PS4, PC, and now Xbox Series X and PS5. Yes, GTA V just got a new version for the most recent consoles from Microsoft and Sony. The good news is that this version is the best yet in technical terms, managing to outdo the PC version in its unmodded state, which released in late 2015.
Sure, it can be argued that every time Rockstar and Take-Two sell another update of GTA V successfully, GTA VI becomes a more distant possibility. And if you’ve already played GTA V and had enough, then there’s no reason to get the latest remaster. But if you’re a fan or it’s your first time, then the Xbox Series X and PS5 version is by far the most impressive. Let’s take a look at some highlights.
