GTA V might run at 4K, 60 FPS on PS5, per German PS Blog post

By Otto Kratky Published August 10, 2021

Grand Theft Auto V, the game that will seemingly be around forever, will apparently get a substantial upgrade when it comes to PS5 later this year. According to a post on the German PS Blog, the upcoming port of the game may run at 4K resolution and up to 60 frames per second.

While the post does mention both 4K and 60 fps, we can’t confirm how GTA V will run just yet, since the text is in German and is translated through Google. The translated text reads “You have never seen the criminal metropolis Los Santos so beautiful when the skyline shines thanks to a bold graphic update in crisp 4K resolution and you make the city extremely smooth and unsafe thanks to a smooth 60 fps.”

We have reached out to Rockstar to confirm whether or not GTA V will run at 4K, 60 FPS on PS5.

If these metrics do end up being true for GTA V, it’s likely they will also extend to GTA Online, the game’s multiplayer component. GTA Online is getting a standalone release on next-gen consoles along with the next-gen port of GTA V on November 11. However, PS5 players will be able to pick up GTA Online‘s standalone version for free until February 2022.

While GTA V hasn’t changed too much since its launch in 2013, Rockstar has continuously updated GTA Online. The game’s latest update, Los Santos Tuners, grew the fleet of cars that players can purchase and soup-up in the game. The update also added a new player hub, the LS Car Meet, where criminals can show off their hottest wheels.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4’s Stranded mission had me hooked for hours, yet left me wanting more

I spent hours sneaking through North Korea, scavenging supplies, and clearing outposts, and I’d happily do it all again.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Stranded mission gameplay

For years, Call of Duty’s campaign mode has used big, scripted set pieces to tell the overarching story amid all the adrenaline-pumping action. The 2023 Modern Warfare 3 tried to shake up the established formula by introducing a handful of short open combat missions, and I genuinely liked the idea, but the game's overall negative reception seeped into how those missions were received.

I feared the next iteration might abandon the idea because of the backlash, but I am glad it didn't. MW4’s “Stranded” mission uses the same approach, but instead of fragmenting it across the campaign, it puts it all in a single large-scale open-world mission.

The $1300 Acer Predator Atlas 8 handheld is finally US-bound, and its pre-orders are already sold out

Acer’s first gaming handheld to launch in the US arrives November 1 with Intel Arc G3 Extreme hardware.

Intel Arc G3 Extreme Hands On with Acer Predator Atlas 8

Acer’s Predator Atlas 8 finally has a US release date and price, several months after the company first showed off the handheld in May. The highlight is the Intel Arc G3 Extreme chip inside, which has been adopted by only a couple of other consoles besides the Atlas 8. This version will go on sale exclusively at Best Buy on November 1 for $1,299.99.

Acer originally said the Atlas 8 would arrive in North America in October, but left pricing open at the time. The launch came amid the ongoing DRAM crunch, which has made memory more expensive across the PC industry and complicated pricing for hardware makers.
