    See, I don't really know how to score this game, since I would only recommend it to a certain group of people: those who have never played GTA V before. $40(the story mode and online) is flat out insulting for people who have already played the game, especially the ones who played it on ps4 and xbox one.

Yes, it may be on sale at this time, but my point still stands. $20(the current sale price) is still far too much. Say what you will about a game like Cyberpunk, but it offered a next gen version with similar upgrades at no extra cost, not to mention the original game released just over a year ago, while GTA V released well over 8 years ago. Don't get me wrong, GTA V on its own is a vastly better game. I would call it one of the greatest games ever made, let alone one of the best of the last decade. That's why I don't think this is a terrible buy for people who have never experienced this masterpiece before, but $40 is just too much. For people who already have the game though, this should have been a free upgrade. Free. There are numerous other companies who have released free upgrades, and Rockstar should follow that tactic. Nonetheless, it's a great looking game on next gen consoles. I would say performance or performance rt mode is the way to go, I would just feel guilty recommending anyone buy this at its current price. Rockstar continues to let us down.… Expand

And now GTA+? a 6 Dollar Subscription for the stuff every player should get for free by now? Rockstar Games is innovative, but try giving a push on releasing a trailer for GTA 6 and the game, please. And it wasn't even a free upgrade which is fine for me because I moved to Xbox this year but an 8-year-old game can't get a free upgrade? Literally, the only good thing about this rerelease is that it was cheap to get and the 60 fps.… Expand

    The game is absolutely outdated. Technically this is awful. Then for GTA Online, gameplay is now totally dumb, there are too many items that are expensive.

    If it continues, GTA6 will be rated "E", no thanks...

    "Um novo jogo aprimorado", realmente a rockstar games demonstrou sua grande capacidade de ser criativa. Sim, criativa. Eles conseguiram criar 1001 maneiras de tirar dinheiro dos gamers sem fazer praticamente nada. Patética e mercenária, essa é a nova Rockstar.

    Like the PS5 version reviews, again, copy paste, this port is probably nearly same anyway, see here:
    By the way, i don't actually own the port, but i seen the reviews recently, its simply not worth anything or to buying/upgrading it, and second is, GTA+ subscriptions, needless to say, its only making Rockstar lazier (also Take-Two fault aswell) and more greedy.

People already waited GTA 6 for so long and imagine milking a 9 year old game, said that again, 9 YEAR OLD game (soon) which everybody tired of it.

    Now, this port has some false advertising aswell, yes, you guess it, Seamless Character Switching, basically its wasnt even implemented into the game, the loading times for character switching is the same (as PS4/XONE), or even a second slower. And also there's graphical improvements, well, the only thing thats look good so far would be the fire particles/effects, which was more realistic, Ray-Tracing does work, and (this will lead to reviewing ther graphics).

    For graphics, Ray-tracing first, despite there's some improvement that could be bit noticable, but there's also hardly noticeable difference for most of the graphics during normal gameplay without comparing, sometime shadows look worse and more blurrier and also it's didnt even change the outdated cubemap method of reflections, instead of more modern method like the Screen one (from GTA Definitve Edition), oh and the lighting still look same as the old last-gen, just bit improvement, but also they still didn't fix or improve draw distance (from far, and its still looked like 2D cars, blurry textures), through only shadows is added to it, and call it a day.

    And lastly, to sum it up, this upgrade is not worth it, as i said before, just encourage (including those dumb kids who paid all the sh-t to Rockstar), to stop paying for this next-gen, microtranscations like Shark Cards, and GTA+ subscriptions. This will actually helping Rockstar being less lazier and using their budget to make GTA 6 and completing it, seriously, either don't buy them, or just buy GTA 5 next gen (only if you want, see below for more about upgrades) but don't pay anything microtranscations to GTA Online.

    Oh and about the Next gen upgrades, it's not free, no Smart Delivery (for Xbox users) or any bulit-in upgrade method from PS4 to PS5, and its pricing, GTA+ isn't worth it either, atleast 2 games (GTA 5 and Online) are now separate but still. Give the review for next gen as 0 (or anything lower you want, this port isn't worth it), and average or good (6-10) for last gen only.    … Expand

    As a PC player this “update” that costs money is laughable and complete garbage As a console player this should have been a free update and it’s disgusting that we have to pay for this for the 3rd time

    A true enhanced version of a game tha is almost 10 years old. A fantastic edition for those few who still haven’t played this installment but not a great leap for those who have been roaming the street of Los Santos since 2013.

    Rockstar releases GTA V for another generation of consoles. Now with small graphic upgrades and with 60 fps mode. But it's not enough for a paid upgrade.

    GTA V on Xbox Series X gives very little reason for Xbox One players to upgrade (for a fee). A version that easily could have been free is left behind a paywall to justify technical improvements that fall short of the mark.
