If you already have a PS5 or Xbox Series X, thanks to backwards compatibility you can of course play GTA 5 right now. But you won't get to enjoy any serious next-gen improvements until the new version is released.

However, despite these confirmations we haven't actually had a solid release date yet.
Although the PS5 Announcement Trailer doesn't reveal anything specific, it does give us a ball-park of when to expect the next-gen update to drop.
