Grand Theft Auto V Ships to Third Console Generation, Extending Its Unprecedented Commercial Run

Rockstar Games released GTA V on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on March 15, 2022, marking the title's third console generation since its September 2013 debut on PS3 and Xbox 360. A 2014 PS4 and Xbox One port preceded the current-generation launch. The reissue added faster load times, higher frame rates, improved textures, and ray-tracing—technical gains the prior hardware could not sustain. Prior digital owners could upgrade free. Few non-service games have sustained this longevity across hardware cycles.
