GTA 5 and Online are available in both stores but are priced quite differently. Thanks to Sony and Rockstar's long-standing relationship, gamers on the PS5 can get the main game for less and the online version for no cost.

The Xbox version also offers a discount on both versions but not as much. The offers end on June 14, after which the games will be priced at $39.99 (Story) and $19.99 (Online). The HDD space for the game is roughly 83 GB across the board, so it is still a huge game.

Buying and downloading the game on the Xbox Series X|S is pretty straightforward. Gamers need to navigate the store and search bar to locate either GTA 5 or Online. Once found, simply clicking buy and agreeing to pay the amount should initiate the download.

On the PS5, however, things are a little more complicated. Gamers first need to locate the old-gen Grand Theft Auto in the PS Store. Once found, click on the three dots menu to the right and select the preferred version (Online or Story).

This should open up a new page that provides the Buy option. Once purchased, the download should begin automatically. The online version is free for PS Plus subscribers.

For players who already own the PS4 version on the PS5:

• Locate the game on the Home Screen.
• Click the three-dots menu to the right.
• Follow the steps mentioned above.
