Grand Theft Auto V: Story Mode Listed For Xbox Series X|S, With Discount

I want to say that I'm tired of this GTA 5, but at the same time, I'm curious to see the result on the screen...

@Kezelpaso You are having a hard time deciphering Rockstar's hieroglyphs.

Don't the richest companies in the world (like Rockstar) have access to someone with proper writing skills?

Working out wtf they mean is a game in itself....do I get achievement if I work it out ?

50% off... Probably £30 still. Haha
In all seriousness though, I would imagine it's going to be around £25 for both parts.

@Beagle need the online mode to play story? I purchased the Story mode only, and played it fine without purchasing the online component.

GTA prices have been put out in australia
GTA 5 full is priced in Australia is $29.97 aud
The online part is $15.47 aud

I'm guessing £30 for full and £15 for online in the UK

Edit them prices are with sale price usual price is $59.95 and $30.95 for online

I am confused, do you have to pay to upgrade if you already own the xbox one version? If so that would be the third time buying a the same game (PS3 then Xbox one).

@Luigi_Skywalker yes the Xbox s/X version you have to buy again

@Metalder the online on GTA 5 is included with the story you can't buy the story separate but you can buy the online part separately

Not buying this again. I had my fun with it but I'm over it.

@Martsmall thanks for clearing that up. I honestly don’t know if I can justify buying this again but I guess that depends on the price.

Push Square is saying they think it will be around $10 for the campaign as the promotional offer. Fingers crossed that it’s that cheap.

@Martsmall pulled from the article, which was pulled from the store:

Get 50% off GTAV: Story Mode for Xbox Series X|S until June 14, 2022

My comment was referring to RDR2 btw.

@Metalder what do u mean ? Online is Included with story mode

@Martsmall my original comment was concerning RDR2.

@Metalder oh ok I thought u meant that u can just buy the story mode and not online with gtav

With the age of this game and number of releases this game has seen, not offering a free upgrade for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners is a travesty.

@awp69 you can't just buy the story without the online part of it ( even though the online is free to ps plus members for 3 months ) the campaign includes the online same on ps as well as Xbox

Which is silly even if they get the online part free they still HAVE to buy it as part of the story

@Martsmall This tweet which shows a screenshot from the Xbox store says the story can be purchased separately. Guess we’ll know for sure when it officially goes live.

@homme_parametre You can always watch someone in a stream for a few minutes to get your fix and save a bunch of money at the same time.

@awp69 if you buy the story (called Grand Theft Auto V: Story Mode) on either ps or Xbox the online comes with it

You can also just purchase the online part separately if you don't want the single player but if you buy the single player online is with it

Forgot to add of u go to buy on Xbox au store it says what Included with it and GTA online is there as included

A reply from that tweet u posted

I'm probably going to be waiting for a sale or when it eventually worming its way on to gamepass.

@The_Pixel_King looks like it could be cheaper, it's 8.75 for the story on the ps5 (online is free) so I'd guess it could be around £20 all in on the Xbox.

Pre-orders are now live on Xbox Store. GTA Online is £8.99 with 50% off until release, which will then be £17.99 after the deal has ended. Story Mode (which includes GTA Online) is £17.49 also with 50% off until release, which will be £34.99 after the deal has ended.

I’m pre-ordering Story Mode at that price. I’d say the benefits of all the graphical and 60fps options, along with faster loading times etc will all even be worth the full £34.99. So £17.49 is a steal for me.

@MaccaMUFC Then it wasn't until it was put on the store that we solved the mystery. That price for the whole bundle, 50% off, is great value. It's not a free upgrade but it's cheap for everyone regardless of platform and format.

EDIT:

"Requires access to Grand Theft Auto Online for Xbox Series X|S".

What does that mean, though? That you have to purchase the other bundle to have the complete game?

I'd pay £8.99 for Story Mode only, I don't want anything to do with GTA Online.

I'll be preordering this now honestly shocked they didn't charge full price.

@Banjo- Yeah I get a lot of people feel they are owed a free upgrade if they’ve already double dipped before but it does seem like Rockstar have put a lot of effort into this upgrade and as we know ray-tracing is an expensive technology to implement into games so I feel Rockstar charging for the upgrade is justified. They could of easily just not offered the 50% discount and charged the full £34.99 for the bundle, so fair play to them for giving us the choice to take advantage of the generous discount.

I’m planning on playing in Performance RT Mode the majority of the time but I’ll switch between the other graphical options to check out all the small details around the world, which Rockstar are masters of. I’m looking forward to it as if it’s a brand new game.

@MaccaMUFC A good thing is that you don't need the disc if you bought the physical edition on Xbox 360 or Xbox One and that if you played the PS3/PS4 version you can recover your save file on Series S/X. It makes Nintendo look like they are one century behind.

EDIT:

"Requires access to Grand Theft Auto Online for Xbox Series X|S".

What does that mean, though? That you have to purchase the other bundle to have the complete game?

This might mean one of a few things. If you look at the Playstation version of this (or Push's understanding of it), the single player game is available only until June 14th as standalone, and costs $10. Then after that single is only bundled with Online for $40.

Now that could mean PS worked out exclusive pricing for the game since they're tightly protective of their GTA status. Or the weird Xbox wording could mean that GTA (old) or GTA:O is intended to be on Game Pass or Gold sometime between now and then meaning the "half price" applies to all subscribers, but they can't say that because it's not announced. Though that means we don't know what the half off price is, but I'd assume that means it comes out to the same $10 (but only for subscribers?)

Or...something.

@uptownsoul According to Push's version of the story, on PS, single is available by itself only until June 14th for $10. I assume with this story it means single will be available by itself on Xbox too, but they're much less clear about the pricing.

@uptownsoul Ahh, I see, yeah, the Push article listed story-only for $10 through June 14, and then listed story+online for $40 thereafter. (It's possible they updated since I read it, but that's how it read when I checked it earlier.)

EDIT: Oh, I see now, Push listed Single as $9.99 and Online as free, and then after 6/14, it's $40 for both, or $20 for online-only.

It's definitely confusing, then how they plan the pricing on Xbox before 6/14 if all they're saying is "half price" with access to Online. I'm sure it involves Gold or GP somehow with vague wording like that. I can't imagine they'd be charging double vs PS unless PS worked out a special deal with them jointly, but since Sony's not advertising it directly, that doesn't seem likely, either. Just Rockstar being weird?
