GTA 5 PC will get a major free upgrade with console-exclusive additions

While we’ve all been waiting for a Grand Theft Auto 6 announcement, GTA 5 is still kicking with its upcoming free PC upgrade set for March 5. Some of the most desired console-exclusive features are on their way, from a new overhaul of vehicles to anti-cheat protections.

PC players can finally sign up for a GTA+ membership to reap multiple benefits, from a monthly cash flow of GTA$500,000 to a 15 percent GTA$ bonus for Shark Card members. Previously, this membership was reserved for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S users, but now the upcoming upgrade will expand it to new horizons.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a major update without some fresh new cars, as Hao’s Special Works auto shop makes its mark once again. Five vehicles that were only available on PS5 and the Xbox Series X|S will be rolling out. This includes Coil Cyclone II, Imponte Arbiter GT, Karin S95, Pegassi Weaponized Ignus, and Pfister Astron Custom. Along with some sweet new rides, PC users can also test out Hao’s Special Works weekly Time Trails, Premium Test Rides, and HSW Races.

There are plenty of other features to look forward to with GTA 5’s free PC upgrade, including daily Wildlife Photography Challenges and Career Progress tracker. The Career Progress mechanic, in particular, is an excellent way to grab plenty of free cars, as each tier rewards you with exclusive content. Plus, new players can get their hands on GTA$4,00,000 to set themselves up for success. You’ll definitely need the money if you’re just starting out, especially since things can get pretty pricey later on.

Although the update mainly includes features that have already been on consoles, some technical improvements are reserved for PC users only. One of the most significant advantages is the push for higher resolution and framerates, bringing more realism to Los Santos.

This upcoming Grand Theft Auto 5 free upgrade isn’t even the last thing we can expect, as Rockstar Games will continue to tweak PC support. Now, all we need is that GTA 6 second trailer announcement, and then we’ll be golden.
