      It’s pretty much become Rockstar’s Skyrim at this stage.

      If I had a cash cow I would milk it all the time.

      Is that a problem, if people still enjoy playing it?

    • Sven Viking on 15/03/2022 - 12:16

      And I hear there’ve been some pretty serious technical issues or exploits they’re not bothering to address in the online version?

        There has really been no competitor for a city sandbox game, Rockstar have had no need to release it any sooner. Cyberpunk was a generic mess.

          Gah, Cyberpunk could have been so good. I suffered through the PS4 Pro version, and then picked it up again on XBox Series X where it is SOOO much better….until I hit one of the game breaking bugs.

          I'm out.

          A real shame that Square Enix cancelled the Sleeping Dogs sequel. That game did so many things right and wasn't a carbon copy of other titles either

      I was hoping it'd be the free game 😂🙄

    • AngusD on 07/02/2022 - 09:26

      This is the online part of it, which is being released free.

      As far as the single player game goes, I don't think they've actually said either way. Which, to me, seems like basically the same thing as saying no, it's not a free upgrade. I don't think the PS4 / XB1 version was a free upgrade if you owned the PS3 / 360 version, so I doubt this'll be any different.

          Hehehe…well then there's choices

          I have one all I did was the eb games pre order so that's the best bet. I also got it way way earlier than they had as a potential drop date 🙂

    Yeah nah GTA6 is never coming out

    • AustriaBargain on 06/02/2022 - 15:14

      It'll probably be slated for late current gen, but be delayed by three extra years.

  • mith on 06/02/2022 - 15:30

    Anyone here play GTA online? Are there good options that you can casually pick up and play with a mate online?

    • Diji1 on 06/02/2022 - 15:35

      Online is a frustrating bore fest unless you pay although at least there won't be hackers.

      I've just gotten back into it this last week, I usually just play in a closed session. Watch some videos on youtube by a guy called TGG, good info on getting started, missions and what to buy/not buy

      • CaptainAwesomeee on 06/02/2022 - 17:49

        I totally agree! I started during lockdown and been hooked since! You are correct, research is the key to enjoying this. Yes, you will get griefers but most leave you alone if you don’t engage and ignore them.

    • CaptainAwesomeee on 06/02/2022 - 17:51

      You can play in an invite only session so you won’t get trolls or play heists/contracts.

    • b0rnwithabeard on 07/02/2022 - 09:51

      the only real way to enjoy it is in a closed session with friends. Most of the time there’s too many griefers or people who have no idea what to do and no mic when you wanna help them.

      The only really good experience I’ve had with GTA:O is on PC playing on a role-playing server

  • [Deactivated] on 06/02/2022 - 16:14

    Arguably the best game ever made

    • britta on 06/02/2022 - 16:29

      Why?

      • [Deactivated] on 06/02/2022 - 16:33

        Replayability and outstanding mayhem

      • smartazz104 on 06/02/2022 - 17:52

        Second-best selling game of all time must mean something.

          Would that not make it second best game of all time then ;)

    • 2024 on 15/03/2022 - 08:59

      I'd argue against that

  • Troys R Us on 06/02/2022 - 18:00

    Keen as mustard for this release! I hope there are some decent improvements on the graphics and refresh rate.

    • BenTheBargainer2013 on 15/03/2022 - 22:15

      I had a quick game, performance RT mode on Sony OLED a80j

      Everything is soooo sharp and the frame rates is super smooth

      That being said it's still the same game lol

    …but, but GTA 6…………………………………………………………

  • sqheaven on 06/02/2022 - 23:32

    I just paid 15$ to get Uncharted on PS5, it's GTA V for free? 😂

        Just look up uncharted on ozbargain, there was a Sony promotion. I got a free movie ticket as well but missed the movie, I booked the 945am show and never got up on time

  • b0rnwithabeard on 07/02/2022 - 09:49

    i’m sure both playstation owners who don’t already own GTAV will be thrilled

    honestly though, i’m surprised it’s taken them this long to go FTP, there’s so many upgrades and paid DLC packs that i’m sure that’s where the overwhelming majority of their profits come from. I dare say there’s too much bonus content. If you’re playing GTA:O for the first time in 2022, I imagine it could be quite overwhelming

  • Jamesk811 on 07/02/2022 - 10:51

    If you already own gta 5 on ps 4 is this already free ?

    • muncan on 07/02/2022 - 14:50

      Not if you have the PS4 game on disc, and bought the PS5 poor edition

      • Jamesk811 on 07/02/2022 - 14:51

        How can I get ps5 version?

        • muncan on 07/02/2022 - 15:07

          Up here or buy it again.

    So I did the $15 pre-order of GTA V and it shows up in my transaction history yet going to the store page it still has $15 and no download button. Anyone else?

    • snuke on 16/03/2022 - 00:31

      Tomorrow

      • dreamstation on 16/03/2022 - 10:03

        Still shows as $14.99 for me today. I downloaded it via library > my collection overnight and I do have access to story mode but I find it strange that the store page is still saying I have to pay rather than 'purchased' like it normally does.

  • OzBerghainer on 15/03/2022 - 21:39

    60fps is defintely a huge improvement, keeps stable through online games too. Loading times - not too different to PS4 version running on PS5, and graphics - not very noticeably better, especially in Performance/Performance RT mode. But the frames was the main issue with the game being so old, and now it looks quite crispy on a nice monitor.

  • hashtagbargain on 15/03/2022 - 23:05

    I’ve read this deal 5 times still not sure how to redeem this game. I have a ps5 but can’t find it for free on the console or the app. Help?
