GTA Online and Grand Theft Auto V on PS5 and Xbox Series X may have a substantial graphical update that brings the visuals of GTA 5 and your multiplayer at the level of Red Dead Redemption 2, one of the most beautiful games on the market today, despite being two years old. Last year, when Rockstar Games announced it was bringing GTA 5 and GTA Online for PS5 and Xbox Series X, it said they were coming in an “enhanced and expanded” form. At the moment, we have not yet seen these improvements and it is not clear how the experiences will be expanded, but according to a new leak, the first one may present a major graphical update.
The leak reaches the GTA forums and, more specifically, the users “alloc8or” and “Tez2”, two sources that have proven to be reliable on several occasions. In addition, there are no scoops or insider information here. Instead, everything was extracted from GTA Online files.
A recent GTA Online update added “rage :: fwuiMessageBase” to the game files. For the average person, this is just jargon, but it’s actually files taken from Red Dead Redemption 2 and reference the game’s RAGE engine. In other words, it seems that delivering on the “enhanced” Rockstar Games is being ported GTA Online and GTA 5 for Red Dead Redemption 2’s motor. This does not mean that the game will look the same Red Dead Rescue 2, but at least it should provide a major visual update.
For now, consider all of this with caution, as it is information of the unofficial type and has been leaked. Although it looks like Rockstar Games is bringing GTA 5 and GTA Online for Red Dead Redemption 2’s RAGE Engine, who knows how much of an update this will provide and how much Rockstar Games will rework both experiences for the transition.
At the time of publication, Rockstar Games did not comment on this leak and the speculations it created in any capacity. If that changes, we’ll be sure to update the story with what is provided. Meanwhile, in the latest and related news, Rockstar Games seems to be provoking GTA 6 Vice City with the most recent GTA Online update.
