You're assuming there's an upgrade, if I know Rockstar they are greedy, there was no upgrade from ps3 to ps4.
I hope you are right and we get an upgrade because I already paid for this game twice. I'd be happy to pay for it again if it was like 50 dollars max, but the normal price for ps5 games here in the UK is 93 dollars, no way I'm paying that.

Oops, I misunderstood and thought you meant a different type of upgrade. The smart delivery stuff did not exist until this Gen

Would be decent to see the comparison. Played V recently on gamepass the Xbox One was really showing its age.

Last I played was on PC and with some mods if was like I was playing GTA6 already, completely different game, I was shaming my friends who don't own a top PC and they couldn't believe the difference to the ps4 which looks cartoony and full of aliasing.
