Grand Theft Auto 5 is an unstoppable force. Going strong since its release eight years ago, the GTA 5 train keeps on chugging. GTA Online is booming more than ever and there is brand-new content just around the corner that should breathe more life into the game as it finally hits next-gen.

The latter seems more likely, as the November release date draws closer. As for the remastered trilogy, keep checking back in with us as more developments arrive in the coming months.
