GTA 5 PS5 will apparently run at 60FPS in 4K according to PlayStation Germany.

The German version of the official PlayStation blog put out a post recently which highlighted the upcoming games coming to PS4 and PS5 in 2021. At the bottom of the list is Grand Theft Auto 5 which we already knew was coming to PS5 on November 11, 2021. 

What’s interesting though, is that the post claims that GTA will feature a “smooth 60FPS” frame rate and “4K resolution” - something that hasn’t officially been announced by PlayStation or the game’s developer Rockstar yet.  

GTA 5’s PS5 and Xbox Series X upgrade was announced last year and, as shared on the Rockstar official website, the dev promised the new version will be “expanded and enhanced with new features and content” and “will feature a range of technical improvements, visual upgrades and performance enhancements to take full advantage of the latest hardware, making the game more beautiful and more responsive than ever.”

Rockstar just can’t seem to move on from the fifth installment of its GTA franchise - this will be the third time the game has been re-released on a new generation of consoles. GTA 5 first launched in 2013 for the PS3 and Xbox 360 before it was then re-released for the likes of the PS4 and Xbox One, and now PS5 and Xbox Series X. Here’s hoping that after this re-release, Rockstar will start telling us a little more about GTA 6

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at 12DOVE before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
