Here is good news for Grand Theft Auto 5 players, at least for those who play it on PS5 and Xbox Series. If Rockstar Games has planned some exclusives such as the introduction of the Hao store, the next-gen machines also benefit from performance and graphics improvements.
GTA 5 on next-gen, towards improved ray tracing?
A few days ago, the starred firm rolled out a new update, on all platforms, including the PS5 and Xbox Series.
On the program, some performance fixes , and if the hidden data revealed a probable next-gen version planned on PC, it would seem that the developers are also working on an improvement in ray tracing .
Although the latter is already present and available on consoles and PC, it is nevertheless incomplete. Some options are indeed missing, but it looks like that will soon be history.
On social media , one of the best-known GTA leakers found some interesting information available via the latest patch. Among these, new files have appeared, one of which is called " Ray Traced Ambient Occlusion " and a second called " Ray Traced Reflection Occlusion ". According to their names, we understand not without difficulty that the ray tracing should therefore receive some improvements in the days to come.
Moreover, this also coincides with the recent discovery of the probable release of the next-gen version on PC. Perhaps the developers want to offer the latter including these new improvements, in addition to the upgrade for PS5 and Xbox Series consoles.
Anyway, we will have to wait a little longer because at the time of writing these lines, Rockstar Games has still not made a statement about the release of GTA 5 next-gen on PC.
A new DLC on the horizon?
Despite the formalization of the development of GTA 6, the studio does not seem in such a hurry with this long-awaited opus since, lately, one of the main actors of GTA 5 has caused trouble within the Rockstar community .
On social networks, the actor playing Michael, namely Ned Luke , posted a surprising video in which he speaks ironically of his premature retirement following GTA 5. By his words, fans of the license then assumed that the studio was teasing and preparing a new DLC focused on the character of Michael.
This hypothesis is not really far-fetched since the last major update of the game offered a DLC, The Contract, highlighting not only the US rapper Dr Dre, but also Franklin , one of the three heroes of the game. main story.
