Overview
- Rockstar announced Wednesday that, beginning Thursday, June 18, anyone who owns any PS4 version or the digital Xbox One version can upgrade to the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S editions for free.
- PC players on the Legacy version can upgrade to the Enhanced PC edition at no cost and gain PC‑only features such as ray‑traced ambient occlusion and global illumination.
- The free upgrades include performance and graphical improvements and let players migrate Story Mode and GTA Online progress to the current‑gen builds.
- Rockstar said the Kortz Center Heist, a multi‑stage art‑gallery robbery update, arrives in July and will add an Art Studio Mansion upgrade, preparatory events, bonus GTA$ rewards, discounts, and a Fine Art Collector program.
- Some players who paid for earlier upgrades have pushed back because the Xbox offer names only the digital Xbox One version while the PS4 wording covers any PS4 copy, and the studio’s move is widely seen as a push to keep players on current hardware ahead of GTA 6.
