The latestGTA Online community updateburied the bombshell in its final paragraph: “There is much more still to come, including ongoing weekly special events and bonuses, festive celebrations, gifts, surprises, as well as plans to bring the much-requested PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S features of GTA Online to the PC platform in the new year.”

Of course, GTA 5 on PC already looks very good, and nearly a match for the current-gen consoles even without the patch, but it’s still missing a few visual features that were offered in the update. Most notably, there are ray-traced shadows and improved anti-aliasing options, and with those implemented the PC edition should retake its rightful place as the best-looking version of the game.

The other thing that GTA 5’s been missing on PC this whole time is Hao’s Special Works, a car shop with a number of unique customization and performance options. It’s a small addition, but it should help make the wait forGTA 6- which has only been announced for consoles - a little more bearable for PC players.
