Grand Theft Auto V is the first main entry in the Grand Theft Auto series since 2008's Grand Theft Auto IV. Set within the fictional state of San Andreas, based on Southern California, the single-player story follows three protagonists—retired bank robber Michael De Santa, street gangster Franklin Clinton, and drug dealer and arms smuggler Trevor Philips—and their efforts to commit heists while under pressure from a corrupt government agency and powerful criminals. The open world design lets players freely roam San Andreas' open countryside and the fictional city of Los Santos, based on Los Angeles.

The game is played from a third-person perspective, and its world is navigated on foot and by vehicle. Players control the three lead protagonists throughout single-player and switch among them, both during and outside missions. The story is centred on the heist sequences, and many missions involve shooting and driving gameplay. A "wanted" system governs the aggression of law enforcement response to players who commit crimes. Grand Theft Auto Online, the game's online multiplayer mode, lets up to 30 players engage in a variety of different cooperative and competitive game modes.

Configuration

Options that deviate from RPCS3's default settings and provide the best experience with this title are listed below.

GPU configuration

Setting Option Notes
Resolution scale threshold 128 x 128 Lower values will cause severe, striped visual artifacting in the sky if the render resolution is upscaled beyond 100%.
Write color buffers On Fixes missing lighting outdoors.

Advanced configuration

Setting Option Notes
Accurate RSX reservation access On Prevents random freezing/crashing while playing the game.
Write depth buffers On Fixes missing raindrops.
RSX FIFO accuracy Atomic Massive stability improvement that allows Driver Wake-Up Delay to be left at the default value of 1 μs.

Known Issues

This game is currently not fully playable due to broken water reflections that can cause intermittent flickering of bright colors at certain camera angles, even with the fixes above.

Fortunately, GTA V has a 'checkpoint skip' feature which allows you to get through missions such as 'The Merryweather Heist' by dying 3 times and skipping to the next checkpoint which isn't in the water.

Graphical rendering issues

This game suffers from some graphical rendering issues.

At this time, reflections are broken when the player is close to bodies of water.

Rain reflections on wet terrain also do not render correctly, and certain objects may at times appear translucent or render with minor artifacting at object edges that are in front of the sky.

Intermittent vertex explosions may also occur while driving vehicles under sunny conditions.

See Issue 3959 for further details.

Special Notes

If the game is failing to load data from disk (which can present as random freezing in-game especially when loading new terrain, or simply just getting stuck at the loading screen when attempting to boot the game), try disabling TSX if it is enabled. This was an issue on older builds of RPCS3, but seems to have been fixed.

Render Resolution on Real Hardware

Width Height
1280 720

(This is for your information only, don't set this resolution on RPCS3.) This is the internal resolution the game runs at on console.

    "Allows the game to run at 60 FPS when the VBlank frequency is set to 120 Hz.\n\n※ While this patch does set the frame limit to be half of the VBlank frequency, the game will not actually run any higher than 62 FPS except during the legal/copyright notice screen that is shown at boot."
