Gta 5 Load Times Are Twice As Fast On Ps5 Compared To Ps4

Initially, Grand Theft Auto 5 released on the Xbox 360 and PS3. Later in the year, the Xbox One and PS4 dropped, allowing Grand Theft Auto 5 to re-release for that generation of consoles in 2014. The PC release came soon after, and with a new generation of consoles becoming available in 2020, many thought it was inevitable that a new version of the game would be released alongside these platforms. Grand Theft Auto 5 suffered delays for its PS5 and Xbox Series X versions though, meaning that a 2021 release date was abandoned.

Now, though, it looks like Grand Theft Auto 5 for the PS5 and Xbox Series X is guaranteed as the game looks to launch on March 15, giving new graphical and gameplay enhancements to the game. Considering the SSDs that were added to both the PS5 and Xbox Series X, many fans of the series were hoping that the notoriously long load times of Grand Theft Auto 5 would be trimmed down with the new release.

It looks like the updated hardware of the new consoles will be able to do just that, as a video shows off how quickly the game loads on PS5 in comparison to the PS4. There seems to be little competition between the two consoles as the PS5’s load times finally bring an end to Grand Theft Auto 5 slow loading. This comes with a number of other enhancements to the game, though any looking to hop into the next-gen experience of GTA may want to make sure they have enough space on their consoles due to the game’s potentially large file size on the PS5.

Though some were disappointed that the next generation of consoles would not be accompanied by a new Grand Theft Auto title, Rockstar has confirmed that there is a new game on the way. With Grand Theft Auto 6 likely some years away, though, fans may have to keep playing the new versions of Grand Theft Auto 5 for some time.

Grand Theft Auto 5 will release on March 15 for Xbox Series X and PS5, with pre-loading available now.
