Developers from the Rockstar Games studio, in a publication dedicated to the December update of GTA Online, mentioned plans for 2025, which include something that PC players have been wanting to hear about for more than two years.
«“In addition, next year we plan to fulfill your long-standing desire and add special GTA Online features on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S for PC users,” Rockstar intrigues.

Rockstar did not specify what kind of “special features” with PS5, Xbox Series X and S we are talking about, but GTA V and GTA Online on these consoles, among other things, received ray tracing (shadows, reflections) and improved anti-aliasing.
In the comments on the ResetEra forum they joke that in this way Rockstar wants to compensate PC players for the absence of GTA VI – the release of the new part is announced for next fall in versions for PS5, Xbox Series X and S.

As for the December update to GTA Online, it will add “exciting and strategic heists”, additional law enforcement missions, vehicles, expanded features for the case editor and gameplay improvements.
