We've spent a good few days with GTA 5 on next-gen at this point, and we're pretty impressed so far. Performance RT mode runs a treat, and the 60fps really does make a huge difference. But, how do these new versions stack up against the nearly seven-year old PC version?
IGN has broken down all three versions here: PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X. The comparison also shows each console mode, along with a variety of PC configurations to see how they all compare.
And, well, they all look pretty similar, at least viewing through YouTube's lens. You can clearly tell that all next-gen modes sit above PC's low settings, which is good news, but when you compare high settings to next-gen, the PC version probably takes the lead... just.
One thing's for sure here, we're not touching that fidelity mode! While you may get a few more graphical bells and whistles, it just isn't worth the framerate trade-off. As we said in our hands-on impressions, the 60fps performance modes are "much-needed" and they breathe new life into Rockstar's aging open world.
Have you tested out GTA 5 on next-gen? Has it impressed you? Let us know your thoughts below.

I'm still waiting to see the differences between modes. So far all I've seen is that reflections look worse in Performance RT than they do in Fidelity or Performance.
There is nothing Any company can do to make me re-buy a game i have already played and beaten years ago.
I’m no PC expert - I only play on consoles - but I’m pretty sure that GTA V on PC with various graphics mods blows the new console versions out of the water. Saying that, I’ve been playing GTA V on PS5 and it looks pretty good.
@Nightcrawler71 There is not even a console version of GTAV that can compete with a modded copy of GTAIV on PC.
For me RT is a gimmick that don’t make enough difference when you actually play a game but the frame rate is important because it have a direct impact on the gameplay 1080p 60fps should be the lowest acceptable frame rate and resolution on all action games.
@Bruvas here's hoping they add a 120 fps mode and next gen story content. But likely not for both, so won't be double dipping myself.
This is a dead horse beaten into paste at this point.
So, I'm enjoying the Cyberpunk's next gen version on Series X. What a city, fabulous graphics!
I've never played the GTA V. Do you think it's worth trying it now after Cyberpunk?
@vded GTA on Next Gen is a much higher quality world and experience than Cyberpunk. Especially with it on sale, I would get it.
I am so disillusioned with Microsoft right now.
I travel around the world with my console. A few months ago Microsoft quietly (or at least I wasn't aware) stopped you buying from other countries stores, and using gift cards from other countries.
The end result is that not only have I had to set the console to the region I live in (or otherwise I can't use games pass). This means I can no longer play games I've purchased from other regions, and I also cannot play games like GTA V remastered which is banned where I live.
Yet my friend next door with a PS5 has been able to keep his console to UK, is able to still play all his games, and has been able to buy and play GTA V remastered.
@Beagle @PopularCorpse Thank you very much for your comments. So, I've bought it. Now, I have to finish the Cyberpunk and the GTA V we go for first time.
