GTA Online's next-generation update is finally coming to the Xbox Series S and X, and players will be able to enjoy the benefits of Microsoft's upgraded hardware. Rockstar has decided to offer GTA Online as a standalone game but has included a lot of additions that they hope will be enough to entice players.
This has been a nearly decade-long journey for the game, which made its entry on the Xbox 360. Since then, the game has received many content additions, which has made the online variant larger than ever.
The current upgrade now enables gamers to enjoy all of these additions on a significantly more powerful system with better graphics. Here's when the next-gen update goes live so players can pre-load the title and be ready to go on launch day.
