Damon here and for today's daily fix, we have a free GTA V upgrade for PS5 [music] and Xbox Series and a new heist in GTA Online. This is your daily fix. Presented by Universal Orlando Resort and [music] its newest theme park, Universal Epic Universe. If you own a digital copy of Grand Theft Auto 5 on Xbox One or any kind of copy on PS4, you'll be entitled to a free upgrade to the current gen versions of the game starting tomorrow, June 18th. As has been the case for years, you'll also be able to migrate all of your progress over, ensuring everything you've earned transfers with you. GTA V costs 40 bucks on current gen platforms, so this is a good deal. If you haven't yet double or triple dipped, Rockstar is making things easy on you. The current gen versions of GTA V have been available since March 2022. And while it isn't a wildly dramatic leap from last gen, it does provide a much smoother experience thanks to things like 60 frames per second. Of course, GTA 6 is finally coming this November. Makes sense to give GTA 5 one last big push before that. As of right now, Rockstar has yet to release any details about GTA 6's online mode, so it's hard to say if any of your progress will carry over from that. Given that people have spent 13 years building a life in GTA Online, some fans are hoping they'll get to bring some goodies with them to Vice City. But it also wouldn't be surprising if everyone got a fresh start when the mode drops. The next look at GTA 6 is expected to arrive this summer. It wouldn't be surprising if Rockstar waits until after the release of a new update in July, so it doesn't distract anyone from the new content is trying to push to fans. Speaking of that new update, GTA Online is getting its next big update in just a few weeks. The new update, known as the Courts Center Heist, will let players ransack Los Santos most prestigious art gallery. The building has been in GTA V since launch, but has largely been unused for any significant content outside of a standoff between various law enforcement agencies in the story mode. It's never had an accessible interior, and there's not much reason to go visit it, but that will all change in July. If it's anything like other GTA Online updates, this will likely be quite expansive and feature new vehicles, weapons, clothing, and potentially gameplay mechanics. Previous heists are also highly replayable thanks to different approaches, which allow you to take on these high-risisk jobs in a wide variety of ways. Details are still scarce on what exactly the update will feature beyond this heist, but Rockstar will likely give fans a rundown a few days before it launches. Fans may also want to start preparing as you'll need a fair bit of money and assets to partake in this heist. Players will need to own one of the mansions that were added in the last major GTA online update as the mansion's art studio will be renovated into a heist planning room. If you don't have a mansion yet or you're broke, Rockstar will be offering ways to earn bonus GTA bucks in the coming weeks. Additionally, GTA Plus members will be able to get a $2 million discount on the mansions very soon. All in all, it seems like a perfect time to jump back into GTA online if you've played it before, especially as anticipation builds for GTA 6's release this November. And that is your daily fix for Wednesday, June [music] 17th. Now that you're caught up on the news, watch the Unreal Engine 6 reveal overview. I'm Damon Hatfield, and for all your video game news, stay tuned. [music]
