Years after its initial release, Rockstar Games announced a free upgrade to the PC version of Grand Theft Auto V, offering new features available through the Rockstar Games Launcher, Steam, and Epic Games. This upgrade brings features previously only available on the latest generation of consoles and improves the gaming experience and performance on PC. Players who already own the PC version of Grand Theft Auto V can upgrade for free and transfer their story and online progress. Players who are playing Grand Theft Auto V and GTA Online for the first time on PC will receive both the new version (Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced Edition) and the original version (Grand Theft Auto V Legacy Edition) when they purchase the download. New vehicles added to the PC version include the Pegassi Armed Ignatius (supercar), Tornado II (supercar), Carlin S95 (sports car), Imperator Arbiter GT (American muscle car), and the Pfister Astronautics (sports SUV). The 20 vehicles already in GTA Online can also be customized using the Aho Custom system. To celebrate GTA+'s PC launch, Rockstar Games is offering a special Classic Collection: from now until May 28th, GTA+ members can claim the Code X-400 (supercar) for free. The updated launch screen allows experienced PC players to jump right in, while new players can utilize the improved start-up process and gain a windfall of GTA$5 million through the Career Builder, making it easier to choose from four criminal careers. The Career Progress feature helps track your progress across all GTA Online content updates and unlocks special rewards as you progress. Both new and existing GTA Online players can enjoy a wealth of new content, including today's update, "Oscar Goetzman Returns to Skyline": take over Grapeseed's historic McKinsey Airport hangar as your new base for illicit arms dealing. Additionally, playing the new version on recommended hardware will allow you to experience PC-exclusive ray tracing features, such as ambient occlusion and global illumination, as well as ray-traced shadows and reflections previously available on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Other updates include the addition of AMD FSR and NVIDIA DLSS technologies, support for the DualSense controller with adaptive triggers, faster loading of game content via SSD and DirectStorage technologies, support for higher resolutions, wider aspect ratios, and higher frame rates, support for Dolby Atmos enhanced audio, and improved voice, cinematic effects, and music fidelity.

Red Dead Redemption 2, whose release had been previously confirmed to be delayed, has released its third trailer. Developed by Rockstar Games, the studio behind Grand Theft Auto V, Red Dead Redemption 2 was originally scheduled for release in 2017 but was later postponed to October 26th of this year. A sequel to its predecessor after a seven-year hiatus, the game is set in the American wilderness during the early days of the series and features an open-world architecture for players to explore. It also boasts a new multiplayer online mode. The game will be available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and will support Traditional Chinese.
