    There are probably only a handful of people that haven't played this game yet and if they haven't, on console, this is the best version to play. It looks great considering it's age and it does play better on performance RT mode than the previous generations. Also for £9 I would hardly call it the cash grab that the remasters were.

    There are solid visual and performance upgrades compared to the PS4. The ray tracing implementation is decent but not great. The changes to GTA Online for newcomers is also welcome. The DualSense implementation is done relatively well.

    Like the GTA trilogy remaster it feels to reserved. Kind of like it is held back and not trying to actually improve and this definetly should have been a free upgrade for PS4 users. The game has been out for coming up on 9-10 years and you can tell. The game is really starting to show its age.

    Thoughts-
    There isn’t much else that’s new in this version of GTA 5. That shouldn’t be surprising, of course- you wouldn’t really expect a remaster for a nine year-old game to be brimming with new content. At the same time though, given how light GTA 5 is on meaningful upgrades on new consoles, one could easily make the argument that it’s overpriced. Heck, something like this would make far more sense as a free upgrade, but anything above $10 just feels undeservedly steep. Of course, what we circle back to is the fact that the next mainline GTA game is still probably has at least a couple of years to go, and GTA 5 still clearly has more than enough life left in it to keep Rockstar flush with cash until its sequel is ready to release. Until then, if you’ve somehow never played GTA 5 before or are willing to spend money to play it again, its new-gen version is certainly the best way to do that. If, however, you already have the game on previous-gen consoles, or especially on a PC, my advice would be to save your money.    … Expand

    One of the greatest games of all time, just ignore negative reviews, GTA VI is coming, they already said that. Re-releasing GTA V with 60fps is great.

    It is not that bad as other users say. Yes it is not new,
    But 10,- eur for the ps5 optimized game is very okay. Don’t think you get gta vi here but gta v is still very Good. When you play it every 2-3 years in story mode it is still great and funny and so on. I would recommend it compared to all the „new“ remakes and remaster of this time with Worse graphics or controls.

    The Ps4 version looks terrible. Very bad aliasing and 1080/30. The ps5 Version is a very welcome thing because of the 4k Resolution, HDR support, 60 FPS modes and Ray traced shadows from the sunlight (and the moonlight outside the city). The new motion blur Looks also quite good. For 10 €/$ a very good deal.

    The game is a lot improved in terms of graphics (Now consoles have pc graphics) and performance. But the "Expanded" part is not good at all, because it's just Hao's modifications and Hao's time trial and races.
    I didn't try the story mode yet but Rockstar didn't update that.
    So I think you should try it.

    I'm not a 'fanboy' but I have always very much enjoyed the gta game series, it has been a big part of my gaming growing up right from the original on ps1, the enjoyment and laughs my friends and I have had from them is priceless, and the main entries are always groundbreaking, I was eagerly awaiting the ps5 version, the ps4 version was amazing at the time but even with backwards compatibility on ps5 with faster load times it was really showing its age, the 20-25 fps had become kind of painful and even sending in screenshots to our group chats we ended up laughing as the resolution actually looked blurry in them, I don't know why it was originally called expanded and enhanced maybe Rockstar had bigger plans for it at the start, maybe time was running out or the pandemic caused big issues I don't know but they quickly dropped that title and we get gta 5 for ps5 with online becoming a separate download if you just want that.
    For an update to the game to bring it up to playable standards 9 yrs on it does quite a good job, the extra resolution is so nice with 'native 4k' being an option and omg does it show compared to the last gen versions, everything looks crisper, much more detail stands out, this game world I have spent many hundreds of hours in over the years almost feels new as stuff around every corner now catches my eye, 60fps is a very nice option and is immediately noticeable everything feels a lot more responsive, the 'ray tracing' I really like I think it makes a big difference to everything, I'm really now sure if its hardware based or in engine from Rockstar themselves, but light reflecting off cars looks great, to how headlights light up everything as you drive around, I walked into my arcade and suddenly stopped and thought oh I didn't even realise it was a glass front as I looked at the reflections in it. The game now has a much needed nice menu on startup where you have multiple options or can flick between online/story depending on what you own. Online also now has a much needed career builder for new players which gives instant access to some businesses/ vehicles/ weapons/ gta bucks, which is great as it had become very tough for new players starting from rank 1 with nothing. On next gen versions there are also a selection of 5 new cars and a new upgrade shop with new options, taking advantage of new hardware they are a lot faster than cars currently were, with another 5 older models being eligible for the faster upgrades. That sums up most of it, it isn't the next big gta its 5 updated for the new generation of hardware and as that I think its good, the game even though its showing its age is still a masterpiece, and again even by todays standards online is still very good and very unique, there is a lot to it, if I had to say what type of game is it like I would say an gta style mmo, there's so much to learn at the start, Youtube videos will help when learning how the different businesses run, and I find it incredibly addictive running my empire and my crazy collection of vehicles and property ive built up over the years. I find me and my friends always end up going back to it there's so much to do from general messing around in the world, to doing missions/ races the heists are all great fun very different and require teamwork from the movie like mission structure of the doomsday, to the play it how you want diamond casino heist to the many options Cayo Perico.
    I do think a lot of the criticism Rockstar are getting lately is self inflicted someone there is making some bad decisions and I do think they need to think about how to keep their community happy, I think something like being able to run businesses from an invite only session would go a long way, even on double bucks weeks not one of them makes as much as someone willing to farm the Cayo heist and it would make the game a lot more approachable I think to newer players. To sum up if you enjoy gta 5 it is by far the best version of it to play, for people on ps5 atm if you or your friends are looking for something to have a laugh on online I would say you have got nothing to lose by trying it while its free, I did personally buy story mode to while its on offer, playing through sometime with all the nice new resolution/ fps and extras seemed like a good purchase    … Expand

They never liked this game. So i think this kind of review bombing is actually very bad, because it attracts lots of people who want to hate this game no matter what.

    It's still more fun, more polished, more innovative and just overall more professionally made than some new open world games like Cyberpunk2077 or Elden Ring.

    The game is still very fun to play. This could be a free update, but since I didn't own any PS release of GTA 5 and got it for less than 10 euro it was worth it in my opinion. The upgrade brings stable 60fps and dynamic 4k. It felt very enjoyable to replay it for second time in new fidelity.

That said, I do see how some of the textures are dated (including in certain windows and stores), the load times when booting up the game are still long, even with the lighting fast SSD, and as many are saying, they could've added more to the PS5 version to make it unique from the other ports.

    Honestly, if you've played GTA V within the last decade it's been out, then stay away from this port, it's not for you. However, if you're like me and finally getting into GTA V and the series, this is a perfect jumping-on point and, bar none, the best way to play this game on consoles.    … Expand

Although the next-gen features are rather bare bone and lacking we have to keep this paramount feature in mind going into it.

However, this game gives us the now classic missions, triangular character dynamic, world building and engaging narrative all in 60fps; with GTA V (PS5) you are getting a 10/10 game, but it’s one you’ve played before…
    For £10 this is definitely worth the upgrade in graphical fidelity and frame rate, giving me a chance to replay a classic on new hardware. Despite, the lacklustre introduction of new ideas and features that could truly push this upgrade to the limelight.    … Expand

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of course influenced by my personal opinions.

    (9) Superb. Just shy of gaming nirvana, this score is a high recommendation because the game reviewed is head-and-shoulders above its competition.

    Rockstar is hands down the best there is when making a parody of the real world. They came out with an innovated idea to have three main characters to play as and they are all well written. You can spend a lifetime in the single player mode with how much there is in the game to do, but they also have a online mode which they just keep on adding more too. How do you choose? Online mode is full of greifers so be aware, but there is a work around to have a session all to yourself if you find yourself with bad luck in finding a good lobby. The online economy can be tough so do some research if you find it hard to make money. There are tons of helpful information on the internet for you. Now for the reason I’m not giving this game a ten. I never felt attached to any of the main characters/story didn’t have any moving moments. It was all action, which may not be a bad thing to many of you. I will always remember Niko Belic and his ambition to start a new life in America. Another issue is how they aren't being as detailed as they did in the past with the driving mechanics, car physics, relationships, and businesses.    … Expand

    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.
