The briefing

Rockstar announced GTA V for PS4, Xbox One and PC in June 2014. The reveal described a revised presentation of Los Santos and Blaine County, while keeping Michael, Franklin and Trevor’s interwoven story.

The announced technical work included increased draw distances, finer textures, denser traffic and higher resolutions. Additional wildlife and revised weather and damage effects were also identified, connecting environmental changes with the graphical upgrade.

GTA Online was part of the move, with the accumulated content from its initial release brought forward. This was the first announcement stage, before later platform-specific dates and feature details. It should not be used to assign every feature of subsequent Enhanced releases to the original 2014 reveal.
