Grand Theft Auto 5 New-Gen Load Times Are Going To Save You A Lot Of Time

Grand Theft Auto V has been released today as a new-gen title for PlayStation 5 (and Xbox Series X). Perhaps not surprising, the game’s load times are very fast. 

They’re so great, in fact, that playing on new-gen consoles is going to save you a lot of time in Los Santos. That’s because load times are more than 150% faster in some cases and even at the new-gen versions’ worst in terms of load times, it’s still demonstrably faster than PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect: 

GTA V Xbox Series X vs. Xbox One Loading Times – Brand New Game:

• Xbox One: One minute and 59 seconds, according to MrWilliamThor’s comparison video on YouTube
• Xbox Series X: 59 seconds, according to MrWilliamThor’s comparison video on YouTube

GTA V PS5 vs. PS4 Loading Times – Brand New Game:

• PS5: 39 seconds (in my own personal experience – however, IGNReports indicate that the load time for their game was only eleven seconds.
• PS4According to IGN

As you can see, the new-gen versions of GTA V feature significantly faster loading times and as a result, you’ll be saving a lot of time in Los Santos. What’s more is that these faster loading times translate to all types of loading in GTA V. While we highlighted the new game loading times, other load times on new-gen versions, such as starting the game from an autosave, showcase similarly fast loading times.
