GTA 5 has been out for almost nine years now. While gamers are waiting for the highly anticipated release of GTA 6, you are able to play GTA 5 on the next generation consoles, but not without a cost. It is very interesting that GTA 5 was first released on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, then it was playable on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 and will now be playable on the Xbox Series X and the PlayStation 5. This game has been available to play across three separate generations of video gaming. Not many video games have the honor of saying that.

How much and how do you upgrade Grand Theft Auto 5  onto the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5?

There are some video games where if you buy the little more expensive versions on the Xbox One or the PlayStation 4, you are able to upgrade the game for free. There are also cases where if you buy a video game for Xbox One or PlayStation 4, you can upgrade that video game for usually around $10 in order to transfer everything to the next generation consoles.

When it comes to Grand Theft Auto V, you aren’t going to be lucky enough to have a free upgrade. There actually is not a set upgrade path at all. Instead, Rockstar games will be selling Grand Theft Auto V at a discounted price for a limited time. Grand Theft Auto V has received new updates to the video game as that is something that has been very consistently seen over the course of the video game’s lifespan.

If you are looking to play Grand Theft Auto V with the game’s new updates on the Xbox Series X or the PlayStation 5, you will have to wait till March 15, 2022. However, you can pre-download GTA 5 on both next generation consoles as we speak so that it is ready to play on March 15. All you have to do is go to each console’s respective stores and purchase it there for each of their own separate prices.

How much is GTA 5 on PS5?

If you plan on playing GTA 5 on PlayStation 5, the game is only going to cost you $9.99 instead of the normal price of $39.99. It will be 75% off just for the first three months after its launch. That means you will only have till June 15 if you are looking to play this gem on PlayStation 5 at a discount. This version of GTA 5 includes both the full single player game and GTA Online, so the $9.99 price tag is actually a great deal.

If you are wondering how GTA Online will work with PS5 on its own, it will be free. This is if you didn’t want to purchase the full single player experience again. You can download GTA Online separately for absolutely no cost whatsoever for the first three months. If you decide that you want GTA Online after the first three months of the sale, it will run you about $19.99. If this are something that you are interested in playing on the PlayStation 5, I advise to get them within the first three months of their release so that you can save quite a bit of money.

How much is GTA 5 on the Xbox Series X

Xbox Series X users do not have it nearly as nice as PlayStation users do. Instead of the 75% discount PlayStation users are going to see during their first three months, Xbox Series X users are only going to see a 50% discount through the first three months. That means you can buy GTA 5 on the Xbox Series X for $19.99 through June 15. This $19.99 version includes both the full single player experience along with GTA Online.

However, if you aren’t looking to play through the single player campaign again, you can purchase GTA 5 online separately from the main game. Unlike how it is with PlayStation 5, GTA Online is not free on the Xbox Series X. GTA Online will cost $9.99 for the first three months of release on the Xbox Series X. There will be no free versions of GTA 5 on the Xbox Series X at all, but I guess having it discounted for three months isn’t that bad either. After the three months are up, GTA Online will go back to its $19.99 regular pricing once again.

Whichever version you end up going with, both will be discounted in some sort of way for three months. Don’t hesitate on purchasing these options within the three-month period otherwise you are going to have to pay full price for these games once again.
