Rockstar have announced that a massive free update for GTA V is going live today on PC.
This adds enhancements previously only available to PlayStation and Xbox players, which adds new vehicles and performance upgrades at Hao’s Special Works.
You’ll also see improved graphical options, faster loading times and more. It feels rare for a PC version to be a bit behind the curve in this department, usually it leads the charge over consoles, but as we know the GTA titles are generally optimised with consoles in mind.
Everyone who owns GTA V on PC can download this as a free update and they’ll also get a one-time Character Migration to bring over Story Mode and Online progress.
Here’s the full breakdown of new features on PC…
- 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.
The free update for Grand Theft Auto V is now available on PC and hopefully it makes the wait for GTA VI a little more bearable. A little bit…
