GTA 5's next-gen port will include exclusive vehi

Since the next-gen port of GTA 5 will feature major technical overhauling, we don't expect there to be cross-generation play between the current versions of the game and the one launching in November, so the exclusive speed upgrades shouldn't cause any kind of imbalance in races - all the people with access to them will only be playing against each other.

Nonetheless, gating content that does not technically need the improved hardware of the new consoles has caused a bit of controversy - you don't need a next-gen port to have a car go faster. Some players are expressing a feeling of being cheated by this form of content exclusivity, and considering all the other changes Rockstar has in store for the port which would market it plenty, it is an odd choice.

It remains to be seen just how many upgrades will be exclusive to the port, and what other features will force players to buy the new version (and a new console if they haven't already). It also isn't clear whether the PC version will automatically get the upgrade, or if the improvements will be available on this platform at all.

Los Santos Tuners launches on July 20, with the next-gen port coming in November.
