GTA V for next gen consoles


Zelnick the CEO of the franchise Grand Theft Auto told MCV. "The expectation is that they want to exceed it. When you see GTA V on next-gen, I want you to tell me whether it is or isn't better than your expectation. I can guarantee it will be better."
GTA V for Xbox One, PS4 and PC, promises better visuals, more densely populated worlds and increased render distances along with other minor improvements over the current Xbox 360 and PS3 versions.
GTA V has already shipped 34 million copies on Xbox 360 and PS3 alone and it was the best seller game of 2013. “It’s almost a sure-thing that GTA V will sell well when it comes to Xbox One and PS4.”
Even though the launch for Xbox One, PS4 and PC version release date has not announced as of yet we hope to imagine that it will happen some time soon.
