Grand Theft Auto V, which was launched on March 14th to March 15th with a new generation release, was introduced to players with a variety of technical updates, such as ray tracing-powered graphics modes . When the first tests switched from the main menu of the game to story mode, it was observed that the loading time exceeding one and a half minutes in the PlayStation 4 version lasted only 27 seconds on the PlayStation 5. In other words, GTA 5 loading time in the new generation has become exactly 3 times faster than the previous generation.
What’s the secret to the increase in GTA 5 loading time?
Hardware is the primary factor that determines the shortening of the load time in the next generation of various games. Consoles that now use SSDs can cut game load times by up to 60%. However, the software factor can also be very effective during installation times. One of the best examples of this is Ghost of Tsushima. The game was very successful with 5-6 seconds of loading times, even on older generation consoles. Along with PS5, we’ve encountered near-instant upload times in games like Horizon Forbidden West, Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Although GTA 5 lags behind these games with loading times, it seems to have made a big leap compared to the previous generation.
The online mode of GTA 5, which debuts in three different versions in 3 generations, will be free for PlayStation Plus members for three months.
