GTA V and GTA Online No Longer Coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in 2021

Rockstar announced last year that it will bring Grand Theft Auto V and GTA Online to a new generation of consoles in the second half of 2021. Unfortunately, for obvious reasons like the health crisis, the developer won’t be able to deliver on its promise.

During today’s PlayStation Showcase, Rockstar revealed that both GTA V and GTA Online will be coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in March 2022. An exact release date will probably be announced next year, so stay tuned for more on that.

While we are extremely excited to be bringing GTA V to the latest generation of consoles, the game requires a few additional months for polishing and fine-tuning.”

Sadly, the announcement doesn’t include any details about the expanded and enhanced versions of GTA V and GTA Online. On the bright side, Rockstar announced that new and existing PlayStation Plus members still benefit from additional bonuses including GTA$1,000,000 every month for the PlayStation 4 version of GTA Online until the game launches on PlayStation 5 in March 2022. The in-game money can be claimed each month via the PlayStation Store.

Rockstar announced a while ago that GTA V and GTA Online will be released on the new consoles as separate games, so they could be purchased individually. While no prices have been announced, Rockstar confirmed that GTA Online will be available for free exclusively for PlayStation 5 players for the first three months after launch in March 2022.

Since they will be released as separate games, GTA V will not be required for those who just want to immerse themselves in GTA Online. Unfortunately, this is an exclusive deal limited to PlayStation 5, so Xbox Series X/S players will have to purchase GTA Online separately since it’s not included in GTA V, unless something changes until then.
