With GTAV next-gen details finally out in the wild, you may be asking yourself, is it worth the upgrade? While the new graphical features do sound enticing, it's a big ask, as the game currently has no free upgrade path. However, there is one way to taste GTAV on next-gen without the hefty price tag.
And that is to pick up GTA: Online. Unlike both previous GTAV console releases, GTA: Online for Xbox Series X|S will be available as a separate purchase. That means you won't have to fork out £50+ to see what next-gen GTAV looks like.
Rockstar hasn't revealed a price for that yet, although it says to "stay tuned for more details". However, you only have to look at Red Dead Online to see where Rockstar might go.
Red Dead Online is also available as a separate purchase; it launched a little while after the main game. Red Dead Online costs just £17.99/$19.99 on its own, therefore, we'd expect GTA: Online on next-gen to be a similar price. That'd be a real nice saving if you're not interesting in replaying the main campaign.
GTAV and GTA: Online launch on Xbox Series X|S on March 15th, at least digitally. A physical version is set to follow in April.
Is GTA: Online tempting considering its cheaper price point? Let us know below.

I want next gen gta but don’t want to pay more than $20 for it since I’ve bought it twice already for 360 and one. I’ll wait for sale or game pass I guess.
Ah so they are charging for the upgrade. Guess I'll wait for a dirt cheap used copy of a cheap key from somewhere. No way am I shoveling morw money at Rockstar. Especially after how awful the GTA remakes were.
I'm not buying it again for the 3rd time Rock$tar
I’m sure this was rumoured to go free to play. Would be perfect game for gamepass as it stands
It would be great if GTA Online is the same price as Red Dead Online at £17.99 as I’ll definitely buy it at that price but GTA is Rockstar’s crown jewel so I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a bit more expensive at £24.99. I’ll get the next-gen main campaign when it’s in a sale sometime.
I wouldn’t believe the rumours about GTA Online going free to play, at least not anytime in the near future, if Rockstar are indeed charging for it.
No thanks Rockstar. You're not milking this cash cow any more. Mooooo off!
@Gr81 i want current gen version(we need to stop saying next gen when we are a year into this gen) but i bought gta5 3 times already ps4, xbox, and xbox again(left first one in my xbox one system when i upgraded to the one x back when that launched)
@Kezelpaso GTA Online, not GTA: Online. There's no „:” in title.
Does this mean that GTA V, the current-gen version, is cheaper or does it include GTA Online? The article doesn't explain much.
@Banjo- It doesn't explain much because sadly, Rockstar hasn't explained much yet 😅. From what we can gather GTA V will be a full priced game, but you can buy online on its own, and that'll be cheaper. We just don't know the exact price of online yet
@Kezelpaso Thanks for clarifying.
