Getting Ready for the Next Generation in Los Santos

Next week, get ready to join an entire new generation of Los Santos and Blaine County residents. The power of the latest console hardware has added new potential to the world and we’re all very excited for what, you, our amazing player community will make of Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One next week.

With the advent of First Person Mode, 30-player Online support and other new features made possible by the new systems, your feedback, help and guidance is more important than ever to help us make the game experience all it can be. Whether it’s letting us know what you like and what you don’t like about the new features, reporting any technical issues you may experience during the early days of GTA Online’s next generation launch, or any other suggestions for improvements and tweaks whatsoever – we need your continued help, and, maybe, just a little patience if there are any teething problems around the launch on the new systems. We have, of course, tested the game extensively but there is no way our several hundred testers can be quite as comprehensive as millions of players! Please bear with us should any issues arise - we will be working hard to fix any problems that arise, and generally ensure this launch is as smooth as possible.

To help aid on that front, we want to continue to encourage all players to utilize the following communication channels:

Our dedicated Rockstar Games Support website for help with any and all technical issues that may arise. You can browse the knowledge base of known GTAV and GTA Online issues and subscribe to articles there to get automatic updates of when they’re addressed. And if your issue does not appear as an existing knowledge base item, you can also always create a new ticket to get help.

The GTAOnline@rockstargames.com official player feedback inbox. Over the past year, with each and every Update released for GTA Online were tons of positive changes made as a direct result of player feedback that our development team consulted constantly for input. From specific content added to the game to countless enhancements such as improvements to GTA Online’s RP and GTA$ payouts, insurance system, passive mode, Creator features, damage system – and so much more were all made to the game thanks to your very helpful suggestions. We’ve said since the very beginning that Grand Theft Auto Online is as much yours as the players and residents of San Andreas, as it is ours as Rockstar Games –we’re very excited to continue the collaboration ahead.

Also expect a Title Update to be made available for download on both PS4 and Xbox One by this Monday that will include some last tweaks and optimization fixes for game day. In order to experience the game properly, please make sure you install this Update before playing (like all Title Updates, it will be applied automatically as long as you are connected to the internet).

We will be looking closely at your feedback from the initial launch days on the new platforms to help inform other future dynamic tuning changes and Title Updates as always. And get ready for continuing free content Updates for Grand Theft Auto Online, including the highly-anticipated launch of Online Heists (which, to be absolutely clear, will be available for all four consoles to enjoy).

Beyond that, here’s just a few things to get excited for in Grand Theft Auto Online for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One starting next week:

Up to 30 Player Mayhem.
Whether it’s mass marauding in Freemode or lining up a proper Crew convoy for an epic GTA Race – there will now be the opportunity for nearly double the player action that was possible on the PS3 and 360.

The Next Generation Character Creator.
Give your GTA Online player a dramatic makeover thanks to the new customization options that the overhauled character creator offers. Create a brand new character from scratch or take your current guy or gal for a bit of cosmetic surgery in true Los Santos fashion.

The GTA Online First Person Experience.
We revealed the first person experience for GTAV last week, a feature that will be available in both Story Mode and GTA Online allowing you to seamlessly switch between first and third person perspectives while playing. Fancy trying your favorite Team Deathmatch as a first person shooter – or weaving through the turbines at the RON wind farm with a view from the cockpit of your Lazer in glorious 1080p? That’s just scratching the surface of the possibilities that the first person experience will add to the gameplay of GTA Online.

Double the Props in the Creator Tool.
To date, the amazing minds who’ve put the Creator Tool to work are responsible for nearly 10 million original custom Deathmatches, Races, Captures and Last Team Standing Jobs. Amongst those are some truly epic experiences including some masterfully imaginative metagames that we never could have envisioned. Now with the possibilities of prop placement doubled, you’ll be able to build enormous arena-style Deathmatches for concentrated chaos, or maze-based Land Races requiring extreme guile, or stack shipping containers around Air Race checkpoints to create large scale obstacle courses for GTA Online stunt pilots… With double the props and up to 30 players, we can’t wait to see the ways in which the incredible Creator community will assuredly concoct brilliant gameplay magic on the PS4, Xbox One and PC.

I don't know if I've ever been more excited for a remastered release of a game. I purposefully stopped playing gta on PS3 about 4 months ago so it would feel fresh when I played the ps4 version.

Can't wait!

this seems like preemptive damage control and they are definitely expecting shit to break on launch day. Oh well I guess it really can't be avoided nowadays. I am more interested in the SP anyways. bring on that new SP content soon rockstar!!

I'd love to play this game on my Xbone but... full price? Nope. I completed the last gen version (98,8% after 50 hours) so there's not enough new content for (me.) 70€.

30 player races or as I see it...1 person speeding away while 29 other people are wrecking each other behind him...lol

Really looking forward to this coming out next week and finally trying GTA Online hopefully with a GAF Crew

Heh, yeah. I've been ignoring this since it's a remake of a game I played last year.

FPS though? That's like... a new game. The fact that some of the story / characters will be eerily familiar is a very minor detail.

Shit, I suddenly have more games to play than I have time for... I feel old

This isn't your usual remaster either though. The amount of effort and re-coding R* have put into this is probably unprecedented. I think the inclusion of the FPS mode alone will make the whole game feel and play completely different, and for that alone will probably be fun to re-play.

Pre-loaded, just enough changes to warrant double dipping at full price, although TBH, I enjoyed the past-gen version enough to have probably have double dipped again anyway!.

Even though it probably won't happen I kinda want Rockstar to release something like this.
Would be too hilarious.

I'm assuming your comment is related to the fact that the parents are giving their child a copy of GTAV, and not related to the fact that the child is all excited and crying?
If it's the second, then not cool :p I never cried but I remember being way too excited (though not in front of my family or brother) when arriving home with certain games and waiting for the console and TV to start so I could play!

Awesome! Played this on PS3 and going to hold out for the superior PC version.

The wait will be long, but so worth it. Got plenty of games to keep me busy until then, fortunately.

Is there a browser for the custom creations (races, tdm, etc.) in this game like a few other games that allow content creation? That would be awesome and hopefully the best ones will be at the top of the list.

Do we need to update the crew information if we're jumping platforms for next gen? Can't remember if I joined the PS crews or not.

You can find them on the RS Social Club and add them to your game from there or
You can bookmark friends or linked jobs.
The best ones appear on the in game selector as RS Verified Jobs.
