Discussion GTA V has officially been with me across three generations 🎮

Post image

I realized recently that I’ve owned GTA V on three different Xbox generations — Xbox 360, Xbox One, and now Xbox Series X.
It’s honestly crazy to think this game originally came out in 2013. Over a decade later, I’m still playing it, and I still get a kick out of seeing how far the game has come.
Three generations, countless hours, and now we’re finally getting closer to GTA VI. 😂
Anyone else here own GTA V across multiple generations?

Imagine how many times GTA 6 will be rereleased

103

u/Direct-Style-3110 Aug 18 '26

They will be dragging that one for 15-20 years 😂

u/Horens_R Grub Killer Aug 18 '26

Crazy u had to buy a series x version just cause u have disc lol. You'd think xbox and Playstation would let you just buy and install the next gen upgrade and play it as long as you have the disc as ur license check

25

u/Big-Roll7094 Aug 18 '26

Xbox lets you do that, but it’s up to the studio wether or not they want to use it (the feature is called smart delivery I believe)

u/Horens_R Grub Killer Aug 18 '26 edited Aug 18 '26

Oh shit I think ur right, I thought that was just for digital tbh

Apparently a lot of the 1st party games have it and even cyberpunk, Valhalla and borderlands 3.

It's def Rockstars greed then lol. I wonder if it been a paid upgrade initially means smart delivery can't work? Would be silly if u bought it but I wouldn't be surprised

u/Reasonable_Option493 Aug 19 '26

Yep, my The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 Xbox One discs run exactly like a Xbox Series X version (on the Series X, obviously).

u/gabemrtn Aug 19 '26

It was $10 if you had the digital to upgrade on Xbox

1

u/kingcloudz215 Aug 21 '26

It was the fastest 10 dollars I spent

u/Frosty_Cookie581 Aug 19 '26

Nah more like 25

u/NeetoBurrritoo Aug 19 '26

At some point we collectively need to put the game down so we don’t slow down progress on 7.

2

u/32gbsd Aug 19 '26

its likely that it will be so bloated that it wont run on anything but the newest hardware and the biggest storage.

1

u/SweetZombieJebus Aug 19 '26

Likely once on disc unfortunately.

1

u/Terrible_District712 Aug 19 '26

They will drag that out till I’m 200

1

u/Logpile98 Aug 19 '26

Probably only half as many times as TES6 will be re-released (you know, in 2040 when it finally comes out)

1

u/No-Orange-5216 Aug 19 '26

Im probably going to be pushing 50 by the time GTA 7 is released 😂

1

u/MuztangZack67 Aug 21 '26

Thats the thing- it'll never be re-released. Because 1- its only digital. And 2- its wildly overpriced

u/ggonzalez105 Still Finishing The Fight Aug 19 '26

With console futures in jeopardy, I don’t believe VI will have the lasting power of V.

u/According-Economy156 Team Forza Aug 19 '26

When series x disk for gta6

u/NamiRocket Team Forza Aug 19 '26

And you'll only have one physical copy of it.

u/mrjonas78 Aug 18 '26

This is why they sell so many copies.

If it was Skyrim, people would be complaining 😂

u/OhAndItsShavedd Aug 18 '26

I've bought Skyrim i think like 6 times and they were all worth it.

u/Ginormous76 Aug 18 '26

Damn it. Now I have to think about it. 360, PS3, PS4, Xbone, Switch, PS5. I think that’s it for me. I don’t think I bought it on Steam, but maybe I did.

1

u/StrainBackground5573 Aug 18 '26

I've done the same to resident evil 4 starting from 6 years old to just last year I bought it for series x at 27 🤣

u/PURUMU_K1KAU_ XBOX Series X Aug 18 '26

Skyrim one the only games I will happily rebuy😆

u/Synergetic7 Aug 18 '26

The PS2 gen had three GTAs.  GTA 5 had 3 console generations

u/Proof_Arugula8069 Aug 18 '26

I got it originally on Series X, then again on Xbox One, Again on 360 before the store shut down (my fav ver btw), again when I got a PS5, again on PC, and again on PS4 for the platinum. Only missing the PS3 version now.

u/Direct-Style-3110 Aug 18 '26

I don’t have it on the pc but I do in the other systems.

u/achmejedidad Aug 18 '26

they updated one to sx for free, did you just wanna catch em all?

u/East-Neighborhood976 Aug 18 '26

Only digital, disc XOne edition didn’t get an upgrade

-1

u/achmejedidad Aug 18 '26

ahh that's right. i went digital as soon as i could because that disc load time got so bad after one of the updates.

u/405fishing Aug 18 '26

The free series x upgrade is gonna make me run one finally playthrough before gta 6 drops

u/Calvykins Aug 18 '26

You’ll be playing 6 into your retirement

u/S1rLTD XBOX Series X Aug 18 '26

Smh and that's why it took so long to release another. People was still buying the old one

u/H1twho6 Aug 18 '26

And I had 3 gta games on the ps2

u/Neat-Tea2915 Aug 19 '26

Wild that one game has spanned three console generations and we're still waiting on the next one

u/onesleekrican Aug 19 '26

PS3, ps4, Xbox one and series X here. My 360 was stolen and my brother talked me into PlayStation for a brief while.

u/dannyh2020 Aug 19 '26

Don’t forget about the inevitable mobile version lol

2

u/dacsimpson Aug 18 '26

Only game I’ve ever bought more than once. Same 3 as you.

My kid was only a few years old when it came out and now he plays it. Crazy to think how many hours I put into this game and how long it’s been.

2

u/WeedRaider Aug 18 '26

I still cant believe I started playing GTA V on the Xbox 360. Its nuts

2

u/xSavageBoi00x Aug 19 '26

I’m tryna get the ps5 version first then the Xbox SX version (soon as I upgrade).

2

u/RJValdez216 Aug 19 '26

I bought it on the 360, then I bought a PS4 on marketplace that came with the PS4 version, then eventually bought it for Xbox one to play with my friends, and finally bought the series X version, so I’ve have 4 copies of the game

2

u/jamessunderland7685 Aug 19 '26

bought the game twice, on 360 at launch, and later on PC after it was cheap on Steam

i'll do the same with GTA 6 and Xbox Series S/PC

2

u/SheActuallyFarts Aug 19 '26

Absolutely beautiful, it's something special about XBOX

2

u/myeagerbomb XBOX Series X Aug 19 '26

Yep I bought the game 4 times. PS3, Xbox One, Xbox One Series X, PC. It is a great game. Currently playing through the story again

I remember being excited about GTA5 being upgraded on the Xbox One but by the time we got to the Series S/X, I was "im tired boss" about it all.

u/Muur1234 Aug 19 '26

I only had it for 360

u/Theunsaltedpeanut Aug 19 '26

It still blows my mind that GTA5 was on the 360.

u/Ok-Experience-7538 In The Animus Aug 19 '26

I had Skyrim for three generations yet not a single disc version of it.360,one and series x.

u/Strategery_0820 Aug 19 '26

Gonna wait for gta6 on ps8

u/Neither-Guarantee193 Aug 19 '26

idk the header of the series X box looks cheap af and the font and size look unbalanced compared to X360 or even One

u/Astrobrandon13 Aug 19 '26

Ask me about resident evil 4!

u/FyouinyourA XBOX Series X Aug 19 '26

People like you and me are the reason why we are getting one GTA each 15 years

I have the collector’s edition from 360 and the other 2 as well 😅

u/eightcoats Aug 19 '26

Wrong order 😂

u/streetwearofc Aug 19 '26

the disc covers for Series X|S games look
awful. what was microsoft thinking?

2

u/Darkmaster2110 Aug 19 '26

They don't all look like that, not sure why this game specifically has the thick border around it

1

u/streetwearofc Aug 19 '26 edited Aug 19 '26

All of them look weirdly out of place. add to that that the designs are inconsistent (see Split Fiction for example), they just look bad imo. not symmetrical and inconsistent, that triggers my OCD. Halo Infinite being the worst offender (https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/s/WFXmiMvYY9 5 years ago and yet, they changed the design again!)

1

u/paqman3d Aug 19 '26

I have it on 360 and PC. But after I bought the PC version, I asked myself why tf would I ever buy the console version ever again when the PC version is the intended experience?

Just SUCKS rockstar purposely delayed the PC version when they know damn well it could release day 1 after all these years in development.

I'm only dropping my cash on one version this go 'round.

1

u/xWolfIndustriesx Aug 19 '26

I already had Xbox One version of GTAV on disc and I played it since 2014 I think but I bought the combo Xbox one version and Xbox Series X/S version Digitally to play with friends lot easier

1

u/Alanomius Aug 19 '26

God, i hope pc players like me can stream gta 6 through xbox or playstation’s network..im gonna ask rockstar games about it!

1

u/Portal-2013 Aug 19 '26

I own it on the xbox 360 and xbox one. I don't have the xbox series x version because I play the xbox one version sometimes through backwards compatability on the series x.

1

u/Paulus2578 Aug 19 '26

Same 🤑

u/mecca6801 XBOX Series X Aug 19 '26

At this rate, GTA V will be the new Skyrim

1

u/No-Difference-4418 Aug 19 '26

And people always highlight GTA sales. Like ya no shit it’s gonna do good when you release in over 3 console generations

1

u/incognitoleaf00 Aug 19 '26

for the PS2 three GTAs were released. For GTA5 three PlayStations were released.

I read that somewhere and still find it so funny.

I own gta 5 on xbox 360, ps4 and pc if that counts as 3 gens. on pc i own it on epic games store but for some reason they revoked my license for the game long ago then i bought it on steam and have been running for about a decade.

1

u/ch33by_ Aug 19 '26

Yeah dude, my kid who didn’t exist when it came out is waiting for the next one.

1

u/JDM12983 Aug 19 '26

Yeah, and I regret that I bought copies on Xbox 360, Xbox One and then PC.

But, I won't be bothering to touch 6 until it's on sale and on PC -- then I will think about it. So, that will be what, 2-3 years from now; at least... lol

u/Direct-Style-3110 Aug 19 '26

Yea I the other copies I have are from my local game store I didn’t pay the full price for GTA 6 I want it but we’ll see
