After over two years, Grand Theft Auto V on PC is finally getting a major update, bringing it largely in line with the console versions. Mark your calendars: March 4th is the day! This update incorporates features from the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions released in 2022. Best of all, it's a free update for all current players, with seamless transfer of your GTA Online and Story Mode progress – no extra steps required.
The most significant improvements are in GTA Online, where a wealth of content previously unavailable to PC players is now being added. The GTA+ subscription service will also launch on PC, offering perks like significantly accelerated business profit collection. Rockstar Games has also bolstered anti-cheat measures for a fairer gaming experience.

While the update delivers substantial graphical enhancements, this comes with increased system requirements. Players with less powerful hardware can rest assured; the older version will remain supported. However, cross-version play will not be supported, meaning players on different versions of the game won't be able to play together. Keep this in mind when considering the update.
