Exciting news for all Grand Theft Auto V fans! A major upgrade for GTA V on PC is set to be released on March 4, 2025. Rockstar Games has announced that this upgrade will bring a host of new features, including fresh vehicles and performance improvements. It will also give players access to GTA+, a service that offers exclusive benefits. Previously, many of these features were only available to players on the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
If you already own GTA V on your PC, you can get ready for this upgrade right now by pre-loading it through the Rockstar Games Launcher or Steam. Here’s how you can secure your upgrade and ensure your hard-earned progress is transferred smoothly.
To pre-load the GTA V Enhanced version, follow these simple steps:
1. Launch the Rockstar Games Launcher or Steam on your computer.
2. Search for “GTAV Enhanced.” It should appear automatically in your game library.
3. Click on the pre-load button to prepare for the upgrade, allowing you to hit the ground running on March 4 without any delays.
The original version of GTA V will now be referred to as GTAV Legacy, but don’t worry, it will still be available to play. If you’re feeling nostalgic, you can easily switch back to the classic version any time you want.
Now, let’s talk about transferring your progress in both Story Mode and GTA Online. Here’s what you need to do to ensure nothing is lost:
For your Story Mode progress:
– You can upload your save file now by accessing the Pause Menu in GTAV Legacy.
– You can update this save file multiple times, so feel free to make changes and keep playing until the upgrade arrives on March 4!
– Important: Once you transfer your save to GTAV Enhanced, you won’t be able to go back. This transfer is permanent, so be certain before making the move.
For GTA Online progress:
– Starting March 4, you can also migrate your GTA Online character along with all your achievements.
– This transfer will include your in-game currency (GTA$), your stats, vehicles, properties, weapons, outfits, and any custom jobs you’ve created.
– Like Story Mode, the transfer is a one-time deal, so double-check everything is ready before proceeding.
If you’re playing on PS4 or Xbox One, keep in mind that there are specific transfer rules:
– You can only move your Story Mode and Online progress to PS5 or Xbox Series X|S. Unfortunately, you cannot switch between console families or move your data to a PC.
So now is the time to mark your calendars for March 4 and prepare for the arrival of GTAV Enhanced on PC. In the meantime:
– Pre-load the upgrade to avoid delays on launch day.
– Make sure to back up your Story Mode saves and prepare for your GTA Online character migration.
– Decide whether you’d like to stay with the nostalgic GTAV Legacy or explore the improved graphics and new features in the Enhanced version.
