With over 160 million copies sold and a solid rating of 97 on Metacritic, Grand Theft Auto 5 is easily the biggest game that Rockstar Games has developed up until this point. Released during the tail-end of the seventh console generation way back in 2013, Grand Theft Auto 5 still stands tall as one of the most relevant and frequently discussed games even to this day, largely thanks to its ever-evolving online offerings.
As such, it’s no surprise that Rockstar has once again brought its magnum opus of carnage back into the limelight once again with Grand Theft Auto 5’s expanded re-releases on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S – which brings the console versions more in line with a maxed-out PC version of the game. Of course, the story doesn’t end there – and Rockstar has added a few graphical touches here and there to make the upgrade worthwhile for interested fans.
On that note, we present our complete graphical analysis of Grand Theft Auto 5 on PS5. Please note that most conclusions of feature additions are drawn using PS5’s Fidelity graphics mode, unless stated otherwise.
