Grand Theft Auto V's Rumored First-Person Mode Is Real
In September, Rockstar posted a support article detailing the changes in the new-gen version of Grand Theft Auto V. Among the items listed were on-foot and in-vehicle first-person modes. Rockstar hastily deleted the support page, but now the feature is confirmed.
Speaking with IGN, Rockstar confirms that the Xbox One, Playstation 4, and PC versions will feature the first-person mode. This required Rockstar to rebuild the animations and how the player interacts on the ground and in vehicles.
When on a motorbike or in a helicopter, player view and audio will be restricted by virtual helmets. On the ground, Rockstar has created different animations for each of the three protagonists.
The wait to see this for yourselves isn’t long. Grand Theft Auto V will be out for Xbox One and PS4 on November 18. The PC versions hits on January 27.

Our Take
I’m curious to check this out for myself. After skipping GTA V last year, I think I’m finally ready to give it a go, especially if I can play it in first-person. It’s finally time for me to see what you’ve all been so excited about.
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.
