Grand Theft Auto V PC, PS4 and Xbox One to release with additional content

After weeks of silence regarding the new versions of Grand Theft Auto V, Rockstar Games revealed recently what returning players from PS3 and Xbox 360 can expect to discover and play with exclusively in the updated versions of the game.

There are new events happening all across Los Santos and Blaine County, challenges to complete that unlock all new vehicles such as the Dodo seaplane, Imponte Duke O'Death or the Cheval Marshall monster truck and lots more.

Additionally you can also solve a Murder Mystery and gain access to a pair of Noir Style Filters. Returning players can also participate in a Wildlife Photography Challenge to unlock the special Kraken Sub. New weapons include the high-powered, high-velocity Rail Gun and a Hatchet, there's also a more maneuverable Xero Blimp hitting the skies of San Andreas. Finally there's a series of Stock Car Races and you can track down tagged walls with a street artists' simian-inspired silhouettes. Players will also be able to snap high-res snapmatics this time around.

What about the exclusive in-game content gamers have originally received for purchasing the PS3 or Xbox 360 Special Edition or Collectors Edition last year?
If you purchased the Special Edition or the Collector's Edition last year, when you upgrade to one of the new systems, you will automatically have those items unlocked and accessible. Those in-game bonuses include the Stunt Plane Trials, Bonus Outfits and Tattoos, and the Pistol .50, Bullpup Shotgun and melee Hammer all for Story Mode use; as well as the Custom Classic GTA Parent Characters and the high-end Khamelion electric car for GTA Online.

Furthermore, if you missed out on your chance to buy a CE or SE the last time around, we will also make all of that content available for all players on PS4, Xbox One and PC to earn and acquire with in-game cash (original SE and CE owners will not have to spend any in-game cash to obtain them, they will automatically be accessible upon upgrade).

If I transfer my GTA Online character to the new systems, will I still be able to play with him/her on my PS3 or Xbox 360?
Yes, you will only be able to transfer your character once. After transferring your character to PS4, Xbox One or PC, you can continue playing with him/her on your PS3 or Xbox 360 but the progress you make while playing is not shared to the character you transferred to your new version.

Will PC players also receive the exclusive upgrade content like the Dodo and Dukes?
The content detailed above will be available to returning players on all three new platforms.

Will any of these updates being made for the new systems be also made available for the previous generation of consoles?
The vastly enhanced graphics and many other gameplay updates on the new versions of Grand Theft Auto V are really only made possible by virtue of the powerful new hardware of the new consoles and PC. Some of the other updates such as the upgrade content detailed above are being designed exclusively as a reward for returning players so those will not be released on the previous versions; however do stay tuned for more updates to be made available for Grand Theft Auto Online across all platforms and we'll have more information on that soon.

Will my created Jobs transfer over to the new systems?
Yes, any Jobs you've published in GTA Online using the Creator tool will transfer over so that you and others can continue playing them on the new platforms. Please be aware however that Leaderboards, Snapmatics, Playlists and bookmarks are unique to the console generation you made them on so those will not carry over. (GTAV photographers should get ready to take all-new high-res Snapmatics!)

Will 30-person GTA Online sessions include competitive modes such as Races and Deathmatches?
Yes, they will. GTA Online on the new systems will support 30 players not just in Free Roam but in competitive modes as well (unless of course the Job you're playing has been designed to be set to a specifically lower player max). We look forward to seeing what unique matches the community can create for a vastly increased number of players.

Last but not least Rockstar has updated the games' screenshot section with 8 new screenshots from the re-release, all of which are available below.
