One of the big advantages of backwards compatibility on the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S is the ability to take advantage of super fast loading times, especially when those games are stored on the internal SSD.
Grand Theft Auto V is one of those games that has become notorious for its slow loading times on Xbox One (and Xbox 360) over the years, but as you can see from the video above, the Series X cuts this down significantly.
Unfortunately, there's no way of skipping the game's intro sequences, which take up 30 seconds alone, but the loading part after that only lasts around four or five seconds before it throws you into story mode.
The Xbox Series X can't work miracles when it comes to online servers though, so GTA Online still takes a long time to transition from the loading screen to actually playing the game. Still, it's a small boost.
And don't forget that if you tend to play Grand Theft Auto V regularly, you'll be able to use Quick Resume to jump in and out of the game without having to sit through any loading screens whatsoever. That should save a lot of time.
What are your thoughts on these loading times for GTA V on Xbox Series X/S? Let us know below.

I really wanna see something like Skyrim or Fallout handles on the Series X, something that has to load interiors when you open a door.
Wasn’t too fussed when I first heard about quick resume but it’s quickly becoming a feature that sounds like it’ll be very handy.
@abe_hikura i want Skyrim with no loading...it's so slow! I've only played it on the PS3 so get that bad not in GP and blow my mind with a real fast travel like they showed for the witcher.
The fast loading is the biggest improvement for me in this generation of systems. I know FPS is being touted as a massive thing but it's all about the lack of loading. I dare anyone to go back after a few months on the next gen and play on the old one...you will literally lose brain cells from frustration. I bet you $0!
That is utterly ridiculous. I'm pretty sure the Series X was constructed using witchcraft.
Crazy fast.
I just hope it's the same when they put out the next-gen version next year.
