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

Add as a preferred source on Google

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.

One of my favorite exploration games is coming to iPhone. Even an iPhone 11 can run it
No Man’s Sky might be the game that finally makes me take iPhone gaming seriously

There are games I play to finish, and there are games I play simply because I want to disappear somewhere else for a while, and No Man’s Sky comes in this second category. Despite its disastrous launch, Hello Games' continued support turned the game around, making it one of gaming's biggest comebacks.

Now, ten years of updates have turned Hello Games' space sandbox into one of my favorite games for pure exploration and depth. Soon, this enormous universe is going to live on something as mundane as the phone in your pocket. Hello Games is bringing No Man’s Sky to iPhone and iPad on October 28, and the hardware requirements are surprisingly forgiving. You'll need an iPhone 11 or newer, or a third-generation iPad Air or newer.

A PS5 homebrew update gives old PS2 discs a reason to leave the shelf
The new disc feature requires a jailbroken console, and testing is still limited

Old PS2 discs can now launch games on a jailbroken PS5 through a new homebrew feature. Developer Sword has added disc autoplay to PS5SX2, a PS2 emulator that copies an inserted game to storage before running it on the newer console.

The feature arrived in version 2.01 as a beta. At release, disc autoplay had been tested on just one original-model PS5. There’s a working starting point here, but results across other setups remain uncertain.

Google’s older Pixels may have just become far better retro gaming machines
Google Pixel 11 Pro Review Zenless Zone Zero

I've spent enough time trying to turn Android phones into game consoles to know that raw horsepower only gets you so far. On the Red Magic 11S Pro, I've tested console emulation alongside Android games and eventually pushed things much further by getting the PC version of Ghost of Tsushima running locally through GameHub.

While all of this was possible thanks to powerful Snapdragon hardware, there's another reason Qualcomm-equipped Android devices have traditionally been particularly attractive to emulator enthusiasts. Adreno, the GPU that powers these devices, have access to custom graphics drivers such as Turnip. So phones using ARM's Mali GPUs haven't had the same advantage. But now, ARMSX2 2.8.3 is finally changing that.
