KEY POINTS

Rockstar Games is set to release the next-generation version of its mega-successful game this year. While the gaming studio has been silent on what fans can expect from "GTA 5: Enhanced Edition," a new leak may have revealed the game's performance on Sony's PS5 console.

The latest information about the upcoming title came from Reddit user blasty. On the popular subreddit r/GamingLeaks, the user shared a blog post from the official website of PlayStation Germany.

The blog post seemingly confirmed "GTA 5: Enhanced Edition" will run at 4K 60 FPS on PS5. A portion of the post says, "You have never seen the criminal metropolis Los Santos so beautiful when the skyline shines thanks to a bold graphic update in crisp 4K resolution." [Google translation showed]

A strange "GTA 6" leak could be hinting of a Summer 2020 grand reveal as opposed to earlier assumption that it is the game's release window. steamXO

Additionally, the post notes, "you make the city extremely smooth and unsafe thanks to a smooth 60 FPS." While the translation may be rough, it indicates that gamers would enjoy the game at 4K 60 FPS.

Rockstar Games has been nothing but ambiguous when it comes to the specifics of the improvements coming to the game's new version. The vague marketing also triggered questions from fans and industry watchers on how much improvement the next-gen port would actually bring to the table.

The 4K 660 FPS PS5 performance is not much of a surprise considering that "GTA 5" is now almost a decade old. The game has also previously received a cross-gen port that introduced visual boosts.

If true, this is good news for fans, especially those still in the dark as to what to expect from this year's "Grand Theft Auto" game. Unfortunately, there is no way to verify whether the details are true or not. Rockstar Games has not yet confirmed the information about the game's PS5 performance.

"GTA 5: Enhanced Edition" is scheduled to release in 2021. The game is currently in development for PS5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.
