GTA Online and Grand Theft Auto V. on PS5 and Xbox Series X may have a substantial graphics upgrade that enhances the graphics from GTA 5 and its multiplayer to the level of Red Dead Redemption 2, one of the best looking games on the market, despite being two years old. Last year when Rockstar Games announced it was releasing it GTA 5 and GTA Online to PS5 and Xbox Series X, it said they would come in an “improved and expanded” form. At this point, we still haven’t seen these improvements, and it’s unclear how the experiences will expand, but according to a new leak, the former could include a massive graphics upgrade.
The leak comes through the GTA forums, and more specifically the users “alloc8or” and “Tez2”, two sources that have proven reliable on numerous occasions. Furthermore, there are no firsts or foreknowledge here. Instead, everything has been taken from recently added GTA Online files.
A recent GTA Online update added “rage :: fwuiMessageBase” to the game’s files. To the average person, this is just gibberish, but these are actually files being picked out Red Dead Redemption 2 and refer to the game’s RAGE Engine. In other words, it seems that Rockstar Games has “improved” port to deliver GTA Online and GTA 5 to Red Dead Redemption 2’s motor. This does not mean that the game looks and feels exactly like this red death Redeem 2, but it should at the very least provide a massive visual upgrade.
Now take all of this with a grain of salt as it is all information about the unofficial and leaked variety. While it seems like Rockstar Games brings GTA 5 and GTA Online to Red Dead Redemption 2’s RAGE Engine, who knows how much of an upgrade this will yield and how much Rockstar Games will rework both experiences for the transition.
At the time of publication, Rockstar Games has not commented on this leak and the speculation it has caused in any capacity. If this changes, we will be sure to update the story with whatever is provided. Meanwhile, Rockstar Games seems to be teasing the most recent and related news GTA 6 Vice City with the latter GTA Online Updating.
