Grand Theft Auto V Expanded and Enhanced

Grand Theft Auto V Expanded and Enhanced is the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S release of Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. It launched on March 15, 2022 with new graphics modes, faster loading and additions created for the newer consoles.¹

Release and platforms

Rockstar Games announced the March 15 release date in February 2022. The PS5 and Xbox Series X|S edition followed Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced Edition, which brought the game to PS4, Xbox One and PC.²

GTA Online also became available as a standalone title on both newer consoles. The standalone PS5 edition was free to claim through June 14, 2022, while Story Mode remained available as part of the complete GTA V package or as an add-on.¹

Technical improvements

The release added three graphics modes with support for up to 4K resolution, frame rates of up to 60 frames per second, HDR and ray tracing. It also improved texture quality and loading times, added 3D audio, and used the DualSense controller's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers on PS5.¹

Players could transfer GTA V Story Mode saves and migrate GTA Online characters, progression, vehicles, properties and other account data from PS4 or Xbox One. Rockstar Games treated these as one-time migrations, with restrictions on purchased GTA$ moving between console families.¹

GTA Online additions

The newer-console edition introduced Hao's Special Works, including high-performance vehicle conversions, HSW races and a weekly Time Trial. It also added the Career Builder for new or restarted characters and a redesigned main menu with direct routes into activities and Freemode.¹

Relationship to GTA V Enhanced on PC

Rockstar brought many features from the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S editions to PC on March 4, 2025 through Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced. The existing PC version was renamed Grand Theft Auto V Legacy.³

The 2022 console edition and the 2025 PC edition share features, but they remain separate platform releases. PC Enhanced includes its own graphics options and operates separately from PC Legacy for GTA Online sessions.
