GTA 5: The release of Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online on Xbox Series and PlayStation 5 consoles has meant not just graphics, but speed. Grand Theft Auto V (GTA 5) and Grand Theft Auto Online are already a reality on the new generation of consoles, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. On sale for 50% to 75% off through June, the return to Los Santos is shaping up to be the most technologically advanced to date on home platforms. Apart from all the technical, graphic and quality of life improvements implemented by Rockstar Games, there is one aspect that has greatly benefited the title today as the protagonist: a drastic reduction in loading times.
This is how the loading times of GTA 5 on PS5 have improved compared to PS4
The graphic comparisons and waiting times to load the game have not been made to beg. From VGC they have tested the PlayStation 5 version of the individual mode of GTA 5 to see if the traditional initial loading screen will make us wait more than a minute and a half again to start playing. The reality is that it does not: GTA 5 for PS5 loads three times faster than on PlayStation 4.
According to the information advanced by this means, which we can check in the attached video, Grand Theft Auto V for PS5 takes 27 seconds from when we load it in the start menu until we are at the controls. For its part, on PlayStation 4 it was necessary to wait a minute and a half.
Initial load of GTA 5 for PS5: 27 seconds.
Initial load of GTA 5 for PS4: 1 minute and 33 seconds.
