GTA V PS5 Version Ray-Tracing Mode Comparison Shows Improved Reflections
GTA V PS5 is available now in New Zealand and Australia and comparisons have started to appear showing the new ray-tracing mode.
There are three different modes for GTA V on the PS5 and Xbox Series X. The game offers a performance mode, a fidelity mode, and an RT performance mode. The performance mode runs the game at 60 FPS while the Fidelity mode drops the frame rate to 30 FPS. The RT Performance mode offers the advantage of 60 FPS but with reduced resolution and effects to maintain performance.
Here is a comparison between the Fidelity mode and the Performance mode courtesy of Ben on Twitter.

The reflections are sadly not ray-traced but rather cube maps but their resolution has been greatly improved now. As a result, they look nicer and much cleaner compared to the PS4 version.

Although there is no major addition to the story mode for the game GTA Online has received a lot of upgrades in addition to new cars and features. GTA Online is also available as a standalone release now and will be free to play for PS5 users for three months from its initial launch.
GTA V Expanded and Enhanced is out on March 15 for PS5 and Xbox Series X.
