Here are the specific details in regards to the improvements that have been made for the Grand Theft Auto V Xbox Series X upgrade. It should be noted that this is a new version, that has to be paid for separately as it’s not a free next gen upgrade. It will be shown as GTA Online with the multiplayer being the focus instead of the single player aspect. It features HDR support with three distinct modes.

Fidelity is a native 4k resolution at 30fps with some ray tracing effects. The Performance mode is a dynamic 4k resolution at 60fps. The Performance RT mode is dynamic 4k resolution at 60fps with ray traced shadows. Across the modes textures have been improved alongside some smaller enhancements here or there to improve the look of the experience, such as an increased quality of render distance.

Those are the key details that are present. This game is Optimized on the platform, meaning it was specifically adjusted for the platform and did not receive these upgrades through either inheriting it from the previous generation or automatically. A video showcasing this is found below, alongside a photo representing the game.
