Zoals de meeste mensen wel weten zal Grand Theft Auto V volgende week verschijnen op de PlayStation 4 en Xbox One. Deze versie brengt vanzelfsprekend de nodige veranderingen en toevoegingen met zich mee. De afgelopen week heeft Rockstar Games al tal van verbeteringen toegelicht.

Denk bijvoorbeeld aan de first person-modus en een flink verbeterde draw-distance. Voor het gemak heeft de ontwikkelaar een mooi overzicht vrijgegeven van alle veranderingen die met GTA V op de nieuwe generatie consoles meekomen.

In addition, we’ve added the option to toggle match settings to create first-person or third-person only matches, if they choose.
