Rockstar Games confirms that, as a special treat for those who get Grand Theft Auto 5 on the PC, PS4, or Xbox One, a first-person mode is included in the game, complete with all sorts of modifications to ensure that the title runs great in this new perspective, in addition to the third-person one.

GTA 5 launched worldwide back in September of last year and delighted tens of millions of PS3 and Xbox 360 owners through its huge open world, its pretty nice visuals, and the array of things that were possible both in the single-player campaign as well as in the GTA Online multiplayer mode.

While developer Rockstar has launched many different updates for the game, filled with new activities, weapons, vehicles, and other items, it's also worked really hard on bringing the game to a few new platforms, in the form of the PC, PS4, and Xbox One devices.

A first-person mode is included in the new versions of the game

After confirming that it will launch first just for the PS4 and Xbox One in November, and then for the PC in early 2015, Rockstar now reveals that it's prepared a special surprise for fans who get the game on the new platforms, in the form of a first-person mode.

More specifically, in addition to the regular third-person view that's standard in recent Grand Theft Auto games, players can opt to play in a brand new first-person perspective that allows them to play GTA 5 just like any regular first-person shooter.

"Exclusive to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC versions of Grand Theft Auto V, this new mode gives players the chance to explore the world of Los Santos and Blaine County directly through the eyes of their character, revealing all the world's glorious details in an entirely new way," Rockstar reveals on its Newswire.

Rockstar worked hard to implement the new mode successfully

Don't think this is just a quickly put together mod for the regular GTA 5, as Rockstar emphasizes that it's worked quite hard to make sure that the new perspective brings alongside it a fresh cover system, a new targeting one, a special control scheme similar to other first-person shooters, and much more.

"Available in both GTAV and GTA Online, we've made a host of changes to accommodate this new perspective, including the creation of an optional first person cover system, a new targeting system, a more traditional FPS control scheme, and integrating thousands of new animations into the existing game. It's also available at the touch of a button so you can easily switch back and forth between perspectives," the studio adds.

Last but not least, Rockstar also flat out confirms that GTA 5 runs on PS4 and Xbox One at a 1080p resolution and a 30fps framerate, in order to settle that debate.
