Report: GTA V May Be Getting First-Person Modes On Xbox One, PS4, PC
A since-removed post on the Rockstar Support website points to a new way to play Grand Theft Auto V this fall. Unless the support posting was erroneous, you will be able to experience the game in first-person both on-foot and behind the wheel.
The first-person perspective will allow users to see the interiors of cars, including working instrumentation. The game will also feature a mode for movie-making, new animals, and new easter eggs and random events during the story.
We’ve reached out to Rockstar to confirm whether the removed support posting’s feature listings are accurate. We’ll update should we receive a response.
Grand Theft Auto V is coming to Xbox One and PS4 on November 18. A PC release is slated for January 27.

Our Take
The addition of first-person modes, if well executed (and given that this is Rockstar, chances are good), might be a good reason to bring double-dippers in. Sure, you may have completed the game on Xbox 360 or PS3, but did you do it first-person? That’ll be $60.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
