Rockstar Games is launching Grand Theft Auto V and GTA Online for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on March 15, and many were wondering when the studio would reveal new details and show off the game on its third console platform generation.

Starting with graphics, Rockstar said GTA V and GTA Online will bring «high-end PC visuals» to console, with multiple graphics mode and support for frame rates up to 60fps. Players can also expect improved texture quality options, ray tracing, and HDR options. What's more, there will be faster loading times (huzzah!), 3D audio, and platform-specific features like haptic feedback on the PS5 version with the DualSense controller.

For the graphics modes, Fidelity Mode is the highest visual quality option, reaching up to native 4K (or upscaled 4K on Series S) with ray tracing. In this mode, the frame rate is capped at 30fps. For Performance Mode, players will get 60fps gameplay, with upscaled 4K graphics on PS5 and Xbox Series X, with the Series S edition offering 1080p visuals.

There is also a hybrid mode called Performance RT. This is a middle ground between Fidelity and Performance, and it includes upscaled 4K resolution with ray tracing at 60fps.
