Gta 5 updates. What's new in GTA V on next-gen and PC. Graphics and technical aspects
This section collects and systematizes basic information about changes and innovations in Grand Theft Auto V for new generation consoles PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, as well as personal computers.
Gameplay and controls
- In the new GTA V First-person view appeared for the first time in the series. You can switch between this and the standard third-person view at any time.
- Associated with the new mode is an additional A New Perspective, to obtain which you need to spend 15 hours in this form. Also Rockstar Games slightly redesigned the icons of some multiplayer “achievements”.
- In first-person mode, characters' phones have a real 3D model, rather than being displayed as a texture in the right corner of the screen.
- When the hero puts on a helmet in helicopters, fighter jets and motorcycles, when the view is turned on, the view from the eyes is slightly narrowed and in some cases the image is darkened. In addition, helmets slightly muffle the sounds of the surrounding world.
- If you put on glasses in the new mode, the screen is slightly darkened and painted the color of the glasses.
- Looking down, you can see the character's legs. In this regard, the game is more truthful than conventional shooters, where often only hands and weapons are visible.
- There are separate settings for first-person mode. You can assign a different control scheme (from among those proposed by the developers), set a different sensitivity level for the gamepad sticks when viewing and aiming, and also use several additional options, which will make the game look like a familiar FPS. For example, disable ragdoll, rolling while shooting, and head bobbing, which may not be to everyone's liking in first-person mode. There is also a setting for automatic switching in third person view when using cover.
- In the on-foot version of the first-person view, players have the ability to change the FoV (field of view).
- Another new feature is the depth of field filter. Works in both first-person and third-person modes. When turned on, it allows you to focus on certain objects, “blurring” their surroundings. It is best suited for this purpose, and we are not forced to constantly play the “myopia simulator” - if desired, the filter can be completely turned off.
- In transport, you can duck down, hiding behind the wheel from enemy fire. If you use a first-person camera, the view from the cabin will be more limited and your visibility will deteriorate, but it will become more difficult for the enemy to hit you.
- More than 20 species of animals have been added to the game. Among them: wild rabbits, cats, dolphins, killer whales, hammerhead sharks, stingrays and a huge blue whale. At night, you will notice fireflies in the forests.
- The hero of the game turns into birds (most of them can fly), animals, fish and sea animals (thanks to which you can spend unlimited time under water) after tasting the peyote fruits. The narcotic substance mescaline is obtained from these plants: apparently, it is this that causes hallucinations. There are a total of 27 places in the game where these cacti grow (for example, on the top of Mount Chiliad).
- Among the living creatures in whose skin you can walk: raven, chicken, pigeon, hawk, seagull, cormorant, cat, dogs of various breeds (border collie, West Highland terrier, Labrador, husky, pug, poodle, Rottweiler), wild rabbit, coyote, deer, cow, pig, boar, big fish, stingray, tiger shark, hammerhead shark, dolphin, orca.
- An abandoned mine in Great Chaparral has become available for exploration. , which were impossible to open on the previous generation of consoles, are now very malleable. To get inside, use grenades, sticky bombs, or ram the boards with a car. Those who have already played GTA V earlier, they will visit this place on the way to solving the mysterious murder.
- The developers promised to provide the PC version of the game with an editor for creating your own videos.

Over the entire existence of GTA Online, from October 1, 2013 to the present, 27 updates have been added, half of them are global. Most likely, most of you started playing GTA Online from the very beginning of the game's release on PS3 and XBOX 360, and, one might say, went through all these updates, but there are also those who started playing much later, for example, when the NextGen version was released GTA 5 on PC. In this article we will tell you what updates have been released over the years and how much the releases have changed from 2013 to the present.
Beach Bun Update
It all started on November 19, 2013. GTA 5 was released on September 17, and on October 1, Multiplayer GTA Online was launched, and a month and a half later, the first update, “The Beach Bum,” appeared.At the time, this update generated a lot of excitement, although it was minor compared to the updates that are coming out now. Here's what was added and fixed in this DLC:
The Valentine's Day Massacre Special
On February 4, 2014, another thematic update for Valentine's Day was released. This update was also small, but in keeping with its theme of the old years.Fix the following bugs:
The number one task of all players at that time was to get that same Roosevelt, because after the end of the holiday the car ceased to be available for purchase, and a lot of cool clothes and quite revealing clothes for the female character also appeared. At that time, Rockstar was adding a lot of new missions, as they do now, but at the moment there are much more confrontations.
The Business Update
Exactly a month later, a major, by those standards, update called “The Business Update” was released in GTA Online; it was from this DLC that, one might say, the theme of business in the game was born, which continues to this day.In this DLC, the following awaited players of that time:
3 new supercars Albany Alpha, Dinka Jester and Grotti Turismo R. New weapons Heavy Pistol and Special Carbine, as well as customization items - haircuts, tattoos, clothes. New Vestra business class aircraft
The High Life Uptade
The next level of updates arrived just two months later, with the High Life DLC released on May 13, 2014, which showcased a chic new lifestyle in GTA Online. In this update, players of that time expected a lot of new things. New real estate has appeared, as well as the opportunity to purchase several premises at once. As many as 4 new cars, a new bullpup rifle, 15 new missions and much more.4 new vehicles have appeared in Legendary Motorsport: Zentorno (Supercar), Massacro (Sports Car), Thrust (Bike), Huntley S (Crossover).
The photo shows a gorgeous view from the new apartments and all of the above cars. There is no bike in the photo.
A new bullpup rifle has also appeared (analogous to FAMAS) with the usual set of tuning - a silencer, a sight, and so on. A scale of the player's mental state has appeared. This scale will help you get to know the player you are playing with. It may be passive or anesthetized.
New bullpup rifle
Five new apartments also appeared, and most importantly, the player was able to own from that moment not just one apartment, but two, which meant that it was possible to store not 10 vehicles, but as many as 20, due to the possibility of owning two garages. It’s hard to imagine that at that time two apartments was already cool, compare with our capabilities at the moment; now you can own almost a hundred cars due to the huge number of available apartments and garages, as well as offices that can reach up to three levels. It was also in this DLC that the first motorcycle was added, and of course, work is in full swing to improve the gameplay of GTA Online so that Multiplayer is ready for NextGen on PS4 and Xbox One, although at that time no one among the players knew about it.
"I'm Not a Hipster" Uptade
The next summer update is "I'm not a hipster", which added a lot of new clothes, masks, hairstyles and paint jobs in the workshop. And of course, a new large portion of cars, compared to the previous DLC, where 3-4 pieces were added, in the “I'm not a hipster” update, as many as 16 pieces appeared.6 new cars that can be bought on southernsanandreassuperautos.com:

The Dubsta 6x6 jeep has been added - you can buy it in the store military equipment. Only for players above level 100.

2 new weapons:
And much more.
The San Andreas Flight School Uptade
The next update had a flight theme. In August, a flight school was added to GTA Online, accessible from level six, and 10 lessons were added to the airport as part of a course that helped players improve their piloting skills and participate in interesting missions.This was the first update that added interactive missions to GTA Online, and of course, new planes and helicopters appeared in the Flight School DLC, as well as parachutes with 25 types of flags different countries, including Russia. By the way, it was the Flight School update that became the first DLC, announced by Rockstar in the form of a trailer, which they still release in the most important DLCs.
Last Team Standing Uptade
Then an insignificant Last Team update came out with the theme of weapons and chaos; in fact, there was nothing interesting in it. A couple of new cars, weapons and gunplay.HeistsUptade | GTA 5 PC edition
But then a completely new story began for GTA Online. It was on November 18, 2014 that it was released on NextGen consoles and exactly 4 months later the same update was released that changed the idea of Multiplayer GTA Online. If before it was such a formality to add a couple of cars to the game and fix bugs, then this DLC made it clear that there is life again after the single-player game. We are, of course, talking about the Heists DLC in GTA Online.Art from the official Rockstar website telling us about the release of GTA 5 on PC, as well as the Heists update
This update allowed players to experience interesting co-op missions under the control of the character Lester from the story game. New voice acting, new cut scenes and completely diverse missions. It was a breakthrough and it also gave a big impetus to the popularity of GTA Online. The Heist update was the largest in GTA Online, and now it can only be compared with one of the latest updates, Judgment Day, which players had to wait for several years. The robberies themselves, in addition to the story-based joint missions, added a huge amount of cool vehicles, the opportunity to buy which opened only after completing the heist with this vehicle; this idea is also used in the current updates. The robberies were cool. And it was with this update that a new one began GTA history Online, which is still ongoing.
Then there were minor and rather monotonous updates - two parts “Dirty Money”, “Lowriders” and on June 7, 2016, the update “The Adventure of Bandits and Scammers” launched a new concept in GTA Online.
Offices, warehouses, a yacht appeared, and this very trade in boxes began, which is still ongoing. For example, the Bikers update. New enterprises appeared in it, new pursuits for boxes. DLC “Import - Export”, where new offices and warehouses for cars appeared. Next was the “Arms Trade” DLC, with all the same elements, but with pretty good story missions.
After that there was the “Smugglers” DLC, another import-export, but with the theme of airplanes and with Ron in the title role.
All of these listed updates are very similar to each other in one concept. Offices, warehouses, clubhouse, enterprises, hangars, bunkers and so on. We can say that with these updates Rockstar completely went to pieces, and they no longer thought about the balance in the game, because flying motorcycles, neon bikes, ramp cars, millions of supercars, and so on appeared. Everything can be explained by the commercial success of GTA Online.
Summary of updates
It all started with simple cars, motorcycles, weapons, but at the moment we can say that over the last updates a lot of unbalanced and fantastic vehicles have been added, but this is not so bad, the game must somehow develop, and, you see, GTA Online would not be so interesting if nothing had changed after the first robberies, and new clothes and a couple of new cars simply appeared in the game.Here is such an interesting history of updates from the very beginning and last update, except for “After Hours”, of course, because we already wrote about it. The game is already 4.5 years old, and Rockstar is not even going to stop.
Rockstar Games decided to delay the release of story additions for GTA 5, but for GTA Online updates and additions are released regularly. The developers of Rockstar Games not only did not abandon the development of the game, but also continue to actively develop it. With each update, bugs are fixed and cheaters are banned. Every week the game hosts Social Club events and rewards active users.
New vehicles appear in GTA Online literally every week. Especially a lot of new content appeared after the release of the Diamond Casino add-on. New tasks will delight even those who do not like gambling.
