With the next generation of consoles only months away, two big "will they-won't they" questions have cut vast divides into the gaming world.
One question concerns the increased price of AAA games on the next-gen consoles, with some publishers bumping prices to $70, while the other relates to free next-gen upgrades for current games being ported. According to a retailer, Grand Theft Auto 5 owners can breathe easy — at least, some of them.
French video game retailer Micromania posted a list of games available on current generation consoles that have been confirmed as receiving Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 ports, and whether or not the upgrades are free for current owners or not.
In that list was GTA 5, stating specifically that owners of the PS4 version would get a free upgrade to the PS5 version.
Now, retailers have been wrong before when it came to accidentally putting up info too early, so this shouldn't be taken as a guarantee. Rockstar has yet to give any official word on this topic, and that is the only thing we can ever treat as a real confirmation.
That said, it would make a whole lot of sense. Rockstar Games has a healthy relationship with Sony, with some timed-exclusive content appearing on PS4 first in Red Dead Online. If Rockstar would commit to free next-gen upgrades on the PS5 only, it would be another strong display.
