The PS5 and XBOX Series X|S version launched in early 2022 for $40 and briefly had a $10 upgrade path for about three months.
Now in 2026 the upgrade is free for physical and digital PS4 owners, digital Xbox One owners and PC owners.
Free Upgrades and More…
Beginning tomorrow, those who own any PS4 version or the digital Xbox One version of Grand Theft Auto V will be able to upgrade to the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S versions at no additional cost, and experience the best versions of GTAV and GTA Online ahead of the launch of The Kortz Center Heist. GTAV and GTA Online on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S feature vast technical improvements, easy migration of your Story Mode and Online progress, and new features including Hao’s Special Works high-performance vehicles and upgrades, Career Progress rewards, and much more.
PC players can also experience all these updates along with PC-only features such as ray traced ambient occlusion and global illumination, by upgrading from Legacy to Enhanced for free. And if you still haven’t experienced GTAV’s Story Mode yet, GTA+ Members can also now access it — along with GTA Online — as part of the GTA+ Games Library.
Since getting a PS5 I've been considering purchasing this for $20 but my patience unexpectedly paid off and now I can upgrade for free starting tomorrow! Now I just need to make some room for it.
