GTA 5 Next-Gen Releases Delayed

The next-gen versions of Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 5 won't be releasing in November after all.

Grand Theft Auto 5 was supposed to arrive on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S later this year on November 11. However, it looks like the next heist still needs a little bit more planning. The enhanced ports will now arrive in March 2022. No specific date was shared.

The news comes alongside a new trailer for the PS5 and Xbox Series versions of Rockstar’s incredibly popular crime simulator action-adventure game. Seen above, the trailer shows the game’s improved graphics on PS5. 

Grand Theft Auto 5 is perhaps most popular not because of its base game but because of GTA Online. The next-gen versions of that multiplayer experience are delayed to March as well, but will remain standalone on PS5 and Xbox Series. GTA Online will be free-to-play on PS5 until June 2022. PlayStation 4 players can still claim the $1,000,000 per month bonus in GTA Online until the game launches next year.
