content added since the game's release, and the ability for players to
transfer their current progress to one of the new platforms. They plan to open
preorders today, and in the meantime offer

off Los Santos in its next-generation glory, and the following explanation of
what to expect:
Today we're proud to announce that the
critically-acclaimed and record-breaking Grand Theft Auto V is coming this fall
to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
Grand Theft Auto V will take full advantage of the power of the PlayStation 4,
Xbox One and PC with across-the-board graphical and technical improvements to
deliver a stunning new level of detail. Increased draw distances, finer texture
details, denser traffic, and enhanced resolutions all work together to bring new
life to the cities, towns, deserts and oceans of Rockstar North’s epic
reimagining of Southern California.
Switch between the interconnected lives of Michael, Trevor and Franklin as they
embark on a series of heists across Los Santos and Blaine County in the biggest,
deepest and richest open world experience yet, with game world enhancements that
include new wildlife, upgraded weather and damage effects, and an array of new
details to discover.
The new generation upgrades also extend to
Grand Theft Auto Online, an
ever-evolving Grand Theft Auto universe. Rise through the criminal ranks by
banding together to complete Jobs for cash, purchase properties, vehicles and
character upgrades, compete in traditional competitive modes, or create your own
content to play and share with the Grand Theft Auto community.
All new content and gameplay created since the launch of Grand Theft Auto
Online, including an extensive array of new Jobs, an arsenal of new weapons,
scores of new vehicles, new properties and player customizations will also be
available for the PlayStation 4 system, Xbox One and PC with much more to come.
In addition, the current community of players will have the ability to transfer
their Grand Theft Auto Online characters and progression to their choice of
PlayStation 4, Xbox One or PC.
Grand Theft Auto V for PC will also feature a video editor designed for advanced
movie-making.
