Rockstar Investigating GTA V Graphics “Downgrade” On PS4/Xbox One

With the more powerful hardware of the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One, at least over their predecessors, you would think that games ported from previous-gen consoles would look even more impressive on the latest consoles. Unfortunately it seems that is not the case with Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto V.

According to several reports, users have complained that after updating the game to Title Update 1.08 on the PS4 and Xbox One, they have noticed what appears to be a downgrade in the graphics quality which you can check out for yourself in the video comparison above. Naturally this did not sit well with users who had no issues with the prior to this.

Thankfully it seems that Rockstar has noticed this issue and are working to resolve it. The developer has denied that they made a downgrade in graphics quality and that they are investigating the problem and hopefully issue a fix for it soon. “We are aware of some graphical issues on the Xbox One and PS4 versions of GTAV after the most recent Title Update, and we are investigating a fix now.”

It is unclear as to when we might be able to expect the fix to arrive, but hopefully it will be soon. In the meantime how does this affect your gameplay, or does it not matter?
