The September 2013 release of Grand Theft Auto V flaunted the ‘biggest, most dynamic, most diverse open (GTA) world created’. With its players able to jump in and out of the characters’ lives in its complex storytelling gameplay. It continued GTA’s darkly humorous take on modern day culture and continued the classic hallmarks of the revolutionary GTA series.
It has now sold almost 135 million units, setting a new GTA record. The game’s sales outperformed forecasts, setting a 155% Rockstar record. Unsurprisingly, due to its success Rockstar has announced that GTA V will be coming to the next-gen consoles in the later part of 2021. This will mean that the Xbox Series X will be the third generation of consoles for GTA V.
The next-gen version of GTA V will be “expanded and enhanced with new features and content” and boasting “technical improvements, visual upgrades and performance enhancements”. This sounds very exciting for GTA V fans and definitely something to look forward to.
