GTA V on new-gen to reward returning players with exclusive items

4.7
Rockstar has detailed some of the exclusive items that will be made available to new-gen GTA V players who transfer over their save from the Xbox 360 or PS3 versions.

A number of new vehicles, items and missions will be exclusively accessible by returning players who have previously played the past-gen versions and transfer their GTA Online character over to the Xbox One, PS4 or PC version.

These exclusive items will not be made available for owners of the Xbox 360 or PS3 versions. "The upgrade content [is] being designed exclusively as a reward for returning players so that will not be released on the previous versions," Rockstar explained in a statement.

The exclusive new additions for returning players are as follows:

New Events & Rewards

Encounter new events happening all across the world, and complete the challenges they present to unlock exclusive new vehicles like the menacing Imponte Duke O'Death and that veritable GTA classic bird of flight, the Dodo seaplane.

Murder Mystery

As Michael, follow a trail of cryptic clues to unravel a grisly murder mystery. Put the clues together and you'll unlock two Noir Style Filters, which will give your Story Mode gameplay and Snapmatic photos the feel of a gritty old school crime classic.

Weapons: The Rail Gun & Hatchet

Obliterate your adversaries with the high-powered, high-velocity Rail Gun. This piece of experimental military technology also has its own set of Shooting Range Challenges at your local Ammu-Nation shooting range. Or hack and slash foes up close and personal with the brutal Hatchet melee weapon.

Wildlife Photography Challenge

There are new species of animals across Los Santos and Blaine County, and the LS Tourist Board needs someone to document them. As Franklin, catalog unique animal species scattered across the map to unlock the special Kraken Sub.

Stock Car Races

Win a series of new Stock Car Races to earn unique custom Muscle Cars adorned with logos from some of the companies that made this country great.

Monkey Mosaics

A mysterious street artist is tagging walls all across town with his simian-inspired silhouettes. Track down and photograph them all to earn new monkey outfits (available to all players) and a special Go Go Monkey Blista exclusively for returning players.

New Vehicles and More

Grind up the Los Santos freeways (and over anybody in your path) with the Cheval Marshall monster truck and take to the skies in a faster and more maneuverable Blimp, compliments of Xero Gas.

There will also be a bounty of content for all players, new and returning, to discover - including a fleet of classic GTA vehicles and a few more surprises we've got planned that you'll have to discover for yourself come game day.

The Grand Theft Auto V release date for PS4 and Xbox One is November 18, 2014. The PC version of the game, which was originally expected to debut alongside the new-gen console versions this autumn, will be released on January 27, 2015.

awesome that you get some "exclusive" items, i would have bought it even if they didnt offer them

DPMPosted:

I'm really looking forward to see what vehicles will be available.

StonerzardPosted:

Well, I was thinking of buying this for the PS4 when I got the money... after seeing this I think I definitely will! Just going to wait and see how it turns out first, GTA V was a great game in what you could do, but there was a lot of drawbacks and bugs after initial release so I might wait for an update.

My best guess is after they release and stabilise the PC version, they'll work on DLC for all the platforms. I wonder if they even will release DLC like GTA IV, and if so will it be just a 4th character or will it be 3 new ones or even just one on his or even her (for the first time) time. Definitely more interested in buying this for my PS4

Potion I like the reward features but i seriously am hoping that they will release another story line like they did in GTA 4.


That would be dope. I just hope it's even better than the original.
