    Long review but it’s gotta be said. If this game wasn't almost the identical version of the PC GTA5 I might’ve rated it higher. The fact that it only cost $10 is the only reason I didn’t rate it lower. The graphics aren’t breathtaking by any means. It’s a slight upgrade at best. It’s definitely not expanded and enhanced for sure. Its the PC version with brighter colors and betterLong review but it’s gotta be said. If this game wasn't almost the identical version of the PC GTA5 I might’ve rated it higher. The fact that it only cost $10 is the only reason I didn’t rate it lower. The graphics aren’t breathtaking by any means. It’s a slight upgrade at best. It’s definitely not expanded and enhanced for sure. Its the PC version with brighter colors and better explosions. But other than that it’s the same exact game as PC, which is extremely heartbreaking considering that we haven’t had another GTA in the last 10 years. I pray Rockstar makes it up to us with GTA 6. I would buy this game as long as it’s not worth more then $10. A penny more you’re getting ripped off If you’ve played this game before. If you haven’t played the game then of course it will be good. But nobody is just now playing this game unless there’s some young teenager whose parents didn’t allow them until they were 16+ years old. Again, don’t buy the game if it’s more than $10. I’m glad I have a PSN account. I would’ve been pissed if I paid more than $10. This review would’ve been much worse. Let’s hope and pray GTA 6 is a banger. Who knows if rockstar will put out another good game. We shall see if rockstar can keep their great reputation going. So far not so good. They damage their reputation every release like this they do. Honestly I feel like they were better off not releasing this game the way they did. It’s a sad day in the gaming industry. These great companies like rockstar have succumb to profit seeking only. Hopefully rockstar is not the next EA. Heartbreaking Expand

    Here’s the pros:

    • Being an upgrade to next gen means more opportunity for content • You can transfer your character from xbox or ps4 regardless of your previous console That’s it..

    • Slight graphical improvements to smoke, lighting, etc
    • Being an upgrade to next gen means more opportunity for content
    • You can transfer your character from xbox or ps4 regardless of your previous console That’s it.. Literally

    Here’s the cons:
    • The same glitches that have been around since 2013 are still there.
    • Loading times have improved slightly, but not nearly as much as you’d expect and in some cases are longer than the last gen port
    • YOU CANNOT PLAY WITH PEOPLE ON LAST GEN CONSOLES
    • Consistent crashes that will freeze and outright force close the game
    • If you transfer your character, it’s a one time deal. In most cases you’ll do this before realizing you can no longer play with your friends on last gen
    • Instead of fixing bugs or game crashes, Rockstar launched GTA+ which allows you to pay a monthly fee to play a 10 year old game with perks that make no sense, cars from 5 years ago, and clothing already in the game
    It’s GTAV, a buggy, grindy, greedy mess of a game that has no competition and therefor no reason to improve. All the greedy, grindy, sharkcardy, paywall, micro transaction ideas that they put into this game will be used to their full potential in GTA 6 and I can promise you, this is the end of a once great company

    Welcome to "Expanded & Enhanced", pretty much it look no difference but it started with fidelity graphic that is 30FPS!?
    Well you can turn it down to performance or performance with ray tracing, they both 60FPS.
    It is expanded with a new npc Hao, 5 new cars and "Career Builder" for new players (1 time only) It is so expanded next gen that you still CANNOT BLOCK phone calls or FAVOURITE

    Remember those PS+ members suppose to get 1 mil every month to carry to PS5?
    It appears that you need to own PS4 version and play the game every month to get that money.
    Those that just claim it on PSN and waiting for PS5 version got screwed over with no rewards.

    Also PS5 default does not comes with all premium rewards, they don't even have an option for you to purchase it, only way to get that premium reward is to buy the PS4 premium version and then transfer over.
    "Rockstars: Buy our game again!"
    OH WAIT!
    You already transfered without premium DLC? Well you are screwed because you only can transfer once!
    "Rockstars: Buy our shark cards!"

    They had new thing call "Career Builder" for new player and give you 4 mil startup but that just a scam. Because you HAVE to spend at least 3 mil to start the game so you only left with less than 1 mil and options are VERY LIMITED!

    WORST thing being a new starter, is that high level players will target you and keep griefing you and you had nothing to fight back.
    Pretty much to make money it is like a living hell.

    NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW PLAYER!

    How about a suggestion that give new players perm passive mode for until 20 RP, just so they can actually play the game and make some money first?

And the most mind boggling question is, why did it take them so long and to delay this even though its a complete cashgrab. Capcom is upgrading Resident Evil for free for all owners meanwhile Rockstar has the cheek to ask for money over this

    I genuinely can't see the difference with this and the PS4 version. I really genuinely cant see the difference at all. I was bought it as a birthday present and I immediately felt bad for my friend after playing it. They paid real money for a change in box art. I'm really disappointed in Rockstar for this.

    - added 60-fps and some minor visual improvements over PS4 version
    - BUT geometry draw distance is still the same as on PS4 version/worse than 7y old PC version
    - PC version with Redux mod looks 3x better
    - 0 single player DLC/added missions NINE YEARS after it first got released

    NOT WORTH IT!

Rockstar and their sad excuse of a next-gen "Expanded and Enhanced" upgrade deserve all the negativity, review-bombing (which I promise my review isn't, I've put in 19 hours on the PS5 version of the game and 3000+ on the PS4 and PC versions combined) andAnother utter disappointment from Rockstar, they turned one of the greatest and most beloved games in history into a laughing stock.

They've proven all they can do is be lazy and spit in the face of fans. But of course, the critics are gonna give it an 82 because it's GTA in 60fps and they can't be asked to review truthfully in fear of falling out of Rockstar's good graces...I urge anyone reading this, do not give Rockstar your money, invest, go to the strip club, donate it, hell, burn it, but please don't help Rockstar continue being able to ignore the gaming industry's gripes with it just because they're rich.

    Play the last gen version, play it for days at a time until you're tired of it. After that, look at PC mods on ultra settings, THEN I'd recommend playing this version and seeing how much they have "expanded and enhanced", because that's the true experience rockstar wants us to have after all this time.

    Oh and give them your real life money for shark cards too please, that's still a thing

    GTA V is at its best when leaning into the cinematic blockbusters that it takes inspiration from, while at its worst when trying to be controversial for the sake of it. Thankfully, its striking open world and variety of missions – most notably, Heists – help the Rockstar game hold up remarkably well in 2022.

    Without any content additions for those who have already explored every alley in Los Santos, this version of GTA V may not be enough for veterans, but it remains a true masterpiece in the new generation. It also supports 60 fps or the ultra-high definition in 4k, making it the best possible way to enjoy this great criminal journey.

    GTA V is a milestone in gaming -there's no doubt about that. If you are one of the few who haven't played it yet this is the best edition you could possibly get, but for everyone else there's really nothing here to justify even the low price point Rockstar is asking for.
