It’s wild to think GTA V is still getting love in 2025—Rockstar really knows how to keep a game alive while we all collectively refresh for GTA VI news. The ray tracing and faster load times are nice, but honestly, I’m just here for the chaos of FiveM mods getting even crazier.

Man, GTA V just refuses to quit, huh A free upgrade with ray tracing and faster loading sounds sweet, but at this point, I’m just here wondering if GTA VI will drop before I retire.
