The 4K visuals of the Fidelity mode are strikingly razor sharp, but in my opinion, the 30fps framerate although consistent, is still too heavy a price to pay when combined with GTA’s infamously floaty controls, resulting in a sluggish, “last-gen feel” in terms of responsiveness.

I’ve always been a huge advocate for 60fps framerate in most if not all 3D games due to the more fluid and realistic feeling the feature can provide, so it should come as no surprise that Performance RT quickly became my preferred setting after only a few minutes of tinkering with all three modes during gameplay. What’s even more impressive is how quickly players can switch between these modes on the fly via the settings menu, without any loading.

Dre, the underground racing world of Los Santos Tuners, or any of the 40+ content updates that GTA Online has brought to its platform since it launched almost a decade ago, with Rockstar promising more updates to come.

Despite the combined last-gen console install base of Grand Theft Auto V on PS4 and Xbox One hovering well over 25 million copies as of this writing, this new remaster is not being offered as a free or paid upgrade patch for those versions. Heath Ledger’s Joker once said, “If you’re good at something, never do it for free,” and that philosophy continues to guide the decisions of Rockstar and its parent company, Take 2 Interactive, when it comes to this remaster.
