In response to increasingly desperate cries for an update on the status of GTA VI, Rockstar Games has wisely decided to treat us to more GTA V news.

With GTA VI allegedly set to release this year (Take-Two Interactive seems confident of no delays), you might well be sick of GTA V. Tough. We're done when Rockstar says we're done.

From 4 March GTA V will get a major upgrade on PC, featuring all of the new-gen enhancements that were previously only available via the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S re-releases. Unlike the console versions, however, this upgrade will be free.

Rockstar explains in a press release: "All players who currently own GTA V on PC will be able to upgrade to this new version for free, with a one-time Character Migration flow to bring over your Story Mode and Online progress."

Below you can find all of the new features available to the PC version of the game, as per Rockstar.

  • Enjoy a range of new vehicles and upgrades at Hao’s Special Works (HSW) that push automotive performance to new heights, and test your driving skills with Premium Test Rides, HSW Races, and HSW Time Trials.
  • Encounter Ambient Animals all across Southern San Andreas and take pictures of them to participate in the daily Wildlife Photography Challenge for new rewards.
  • PC players can sign up for GTA+ Membership to get special benefits in the upgraded version of GTA Online and beyond.
  • Track your criminal movements across all of GTA Online’s updates with the Career Progress feature as you build your empire.
  • Navigate a refreshed Landing Page as your starting destination to get straight into the action. Plus, take advantage of an improved introductory flow for newer players with a GTA$4,000,000 windfall to buy property, vehicles, and other items as you start off as an Executive, Gunrunner, Nightclub Owner or Biker in the Career Builder.

Hopefully this is enough to keep you all happy until GTA VI launches, but I'm inclined to doubt it.
