GTA 5 on PS5 & Xbox Series X has 4K and ray-tracing at 60fps – still no trailer

Rockstar Games has finally shared some new details for the next gen versions of GTA 5 a couple of weeks before launch.

Worryingly little information has been shared on the next gen releases of Grand Theft Auto 5 and Grand Theft Auto Online since they were announced in 2020. But while there is still no new trailer yet, Rockstar Games has gone into more detail regarding the upgraded visuals.

Alongside some new screenshots, Rockstar says that both games will boast high-end PC visuals on consoles with three separate graphics modes to choose from. The first, Fidelity Mode, aims for the highest visual quality while targeting 30 frames per second. It also supports 4K resolution with ray-tracing enabled.

For those who prefer smoother gameplay to more detailed visuals, Performance Mode does the opposite, targeting 60 frames per second. However, there is a Performance RT mode that acts as a hybrid of the first two, supporting 4K resolution and ray-tracing while still reaching 60fps. However, this will only be for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, so not the Xbox Series S.

Other technical improvements include faster loading times, improved lighting quality across shadows, and water reflections. Rockstar also reconfirms haptic feedback for the PlayStation 5 version of the game, with the DualSense’s adaptive triggers to provide dynamic resistance. No specific examples were given but the triggers will presumably be used for gunplay and driving.
