***Official GTAV PC Thread*** [Important warning updated in the OP]

Let's not forget, GTA V was built on the previous console generations architecture. The new consoles are much more in line with todays computers. I doubt it will be a delayed release as there isn't much more development effort into it and the PC market is much more mainstream than it was 7 years ago.
 
Surely VI has to be Series S/X and PS5 consoles only? And PC obviously, hopefully with a full launch across all three platforms.

im sure it’s likely been in development since Rockstar received Series SX and PS5 dev kits so likely a couple of years, with the majority of them moving over once the next gen V port was nearly complete.

OK :confused:

Bit early for anything specific.

Well a lot was said about Expanded and Enhanced and PC was not mentioned. It has been missing from pretty much all the blurb regarding it, however, the files for some of the features are in the last release. Just strange they are not saying anything about it. Ie free GTAO for PC as well.

You would think that to be the case. The selling point for PC at the time was 60fps @ 4K, more animals etc. But if the story mode (Dan Houser left a few years ago so not sure if he will have written it) is short and sweet and their main focus will be GTAO and let's face it, PC is not the greatest experience and has cost them a fair bit LOL

The PC version was hugely popular and sold millions of copies and still sells millions in shark cards too.

No doubt about that. I don't know. I just feel they have ignored PC over the past couple of years even though PC has driven the massive twitch interest. It was number one for the past couple of years and is still number 3.
All that from RP and the use of a Mod which Take two very much discouraged and went after the creators.
As said, there is no mention of E&E for PC other than the original launch.
It might be a given that it will be available, however, that will introduce another GTAO server instance for E&E on PC and how will that work?
Saying all that. There are E&E features that can be accessed via mods already. So it is in there but seems odd that they are not presenting it.
 
I suspect it won't take that long to come out on the PC as isn't the new Xbox similar in structure to PC's?

The consoles seem to be the test platforms before it has to lock everything down for the PC.

I wonder if it'll be an online only game? I noticed in the update they again have given new players a way to skip playing any of the single player offline game, and also they are bringing out an online only component. So every step with the current GTA is closing out the offline mode.

I hope so. The new colour scheme system is already in the files so there is that. So it might be as you say, just an update to E&E and everybody gets it regardless.

That what was missing in the blurb.

They have the online-only download for RDR2 already on PC and I was expecting them to announce that. However, it not being mentioned in the latest release just seemed odd. Other than the original post announcing E&E, PC has not been mentioned since.
 
I think the last update made everyone have to be CEO to do anything so people are jumping to private sessions to do that maybe. I log on once/twice a week but waiting till the patch really!
 
So lots going on in the steam Database. Looks like the E&E might be a paid update.

Also, there could be a "gift" on purchase.

If it comes out as a free download of GTAO same as the consoles, I will get that. Not sure if that will have character transfer though. However, I won't be buying GTAV again even if it is on the RDR2 version of RAGE.
 
The "next gen" version of GTA5 launches on March 15th with lots of improvements -

-Faster loading times.
-Increased population and traffic variety.
-Increased vegetation density.
-Improved lighting quality across shadows.
-Water reflections, and other elements.
-Improved anti-aliasing.
-Motion-blur.
-Highly detailed new explosions, fire, and much more.
-Haptic Feedback and dynamic resistance on PS5 controller.
-Tempest 3D positional audio.

Ray tracing will also be added, What type of RT is as of yet unknown but I'd hazard a guess and say reflections, Shadows and maybe RTGI, Right now it is unclear which of the above if any will be making it to PC, Maybe also DLSS and/or FSR if it does ? The Rockstar article only speaks of Xbox Series S/X and PS5 but I'm hoping PC gets this update around the same time.
