After a wait of over two years, PC players of *Grand Theft Auto V* are in for a treat as a major update is set to roll out on March 4, bringing the PC version nearly on par with its console counterparts. This eagerly anticipated update will incorporate features from the native PS5 and Xbox Series versions that hit the market in 2022. The best part? All current PC players will receive this update at no additional cost, and their progress in both GTA Online and the Story Mode will seamlessly transfer without any extra steps required on their part.
The bulk of this upgrade's impact is focused on GTA Online, where PC players will finally have access to a vast array of content previously exclusive to console users. Moreover, the GTA+ subscription, which offers enticing perks like accelerated profit collection from in-game businesses, will now be available on PC. Rockstar Games has also taken steps to enhance anti-cheat protections, ensuring a fairer gaming environment for all.

Alongside new content, the update promises significant graphical enhancements, although this comes with a caveat: increased system requirements. Players whose hardware cannot meet these new demands will still have the option to continue playing the older version, which the developers have promised to keep supporting. However, it's important to note that there will be no cross-version support, meaning players on different versions won't be able to play together. This is a crucial point to consider for those planning to upgrade.
