fans are counting down to the release of the and . The new GTA 5 update has a March 4 release date. While the Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced update and Oscar Guzman Flies Again DLC is available to pre-load now, the content won’t actually be available until around 2pm GMT UK time.
The GTA 5 PC update makes a number of visual and gameplay improvements, bringing the version on par with the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S editions. As you can see from the GTA 5 Enhanced patch notes further down the page, has added new Ray-tracing options, improved frame-rates and widescreen support. That’s on top of new vehicles, animal encounters and a whole lot more.
It’s worth pointing out that PC users will need to perform a one-time Character Migration flow to bring over your Story Mode and Online progress. Once you’ve performed the download, you’ll be greeted with a fresh Landing Page as your starting destination, which will take you straight into the action. This includes a GTA$4,000,000 windfall for new players, which can be used to “buy property, vehicles, and other items as you start off as an Executive, Gunrunner, Nightclub Owner or Biker in the Career Builder”.
The Oscar Guzman Flies Again DLC, on the other hand, sees players attempt to expand their arms trafficking business after taking over an airstrip.
Rockstar Games explains more: “Take over a historic airstrip to serve as the launchpad and landing zone for a series of new missions, with an accomplished arms trafficker as your wingman.
“Oscar Guzman’s glory days as part of Trevor Philips Enterprises may be behind him, but he can see yours are still dead ahead and has hatched a scheme to make you both rich… unless Eberhard Munitions has got something to say about it.”
In addition to new missions, GTA Online players will be able to unlock new aircraft, including the Western Duster 300-H plane and the Buckingham DH-7 Iron Mule helicopter.
Rockstar Games is also adding the Invetero Coquette D5 sports car, which can be stored at your new Hangar.
