There is good news for those who have been playing GTA V on PC.
In September 2013, Rockstar Games launched Grand Theft Auto V with much fanfare. It has been more than a decade since the release of GTA V and the game continues to remain extremely popular. A report, which came out a while back, stated that GTA V has emerged as the second-highest-selling video game of all time by selling 210 million copies. The game, therefore, has not just been a profit-making entity for Rockstar Games but also proved to be a boon for the gaming industry.
Several factors have contributed to GTA V retaining its popularity after all these years. From graphics to storytelling, everything about the game boasts of high-end quality. The quality of graphics in the game can be gauged by the fact that they appear fresh even today. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of the game feature enhanced visual effects. Apart from being a great-looking game, GTA V has also registered its impact as one that takes storytelling very seriously.
