GTA 6 may be far away, so Rockstar gave GTA 5 a fresh coat of paint

Grand Theft Auto 5

With Grand Theft Auto 6 now just months away, Rockstar Games is giving longtime Grand Theft Auto 5 players a reason to revisit Los Santos. The company has announced that owners of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of GTA 5 will receive a free upgrade to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of the game.

The move comes as Rockstar ramps up excitement for GTA 6, which is currently scheduled to launch on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles. Previously, upgrading from the older console versions to the current-generation release required a separate purchase, typically costing around $10. Beginning Thursday, however, eligible players will be able to move to the newer version at no additional cost.

Treyarch has officially confirmed that the original Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 are being ported by Iron Galaxy, bringing the classic shooters to a new generation of PlayStation players.

While Treyarch has not explicitly confirmed the target platforms, multiple reports and backend discoveries suggest the games are being prepared as native PlayStation 4 releases that will also be playable on PlayStation 5 through backward compatibility.
