This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Grand Theft Auto V for PlayStation 4
Grand Theft Auto V for PlayStation 4 is an action-adventure set in Los Santos and the surrounding Blaine County. You follow Michael, Franklin and Trevor, three criminals whose lives converge. You switch between their perspectives and carry out a series of risky heists together. Their relationships matter as much as the money. The city and countryside give each encounter a different backdrop.
During missions you drive, take cover in firefights and use different vehicles. Major heists require preparation and bring the three roles together. Outside fixed missions you can choose your own route, meet strangers or try golf and other activities. Residential districts and busy roads alternate with open landscapes. After a hectic pursuit, you can therefore spend time on a quieter journey or an activity outside the criminal story.
The story campaign on PlayStation 4 is for one player. This 2014 release adds an optional first-person view, richer traffic and vegetation detail and new activities compared with the original PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions. GTA Online is a separate network component and is not promised as permanently available. The complete campaign around Michael, Franklin and Trevor remains playable from the disc without requiring three people to cooperate locally.
Region and language
Our PlayStation 4 games are PAL editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
Grand Theft Auto V for PlayStation 4 was originally released without a printed manual. This edition therefore does not come with a separate instruction booklet. Its absence does not mean that an item from the original packaging is missing.
Instructions for the controls and rules are provided in the game. Any additional leaflets or advertising inserts are not manuals and are only included if stated in the product details. We use the label “No Manual” for copies missing a manual that was originally supplied. You should therefore not expect a printed booklet with this game unless a special edition explicitly states otherwise.
The history of Grand Theft Auto V
Rockstar North developed Grand Theft Auto V and Rockstar Games released the renewed PlayStation 4 version on 18 November 2014. The original game had appeared for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2013. For the newer console, Los Santos was reworked with a longer draw distance, more traffic and wildlife, and a first-person option. The story and three playable protagonists remained central.
The three playable leads were the clearest change to the story structure. Michael, Franklin and Trevor have their own environments and problems but come together during major missions. Switching character lets you experience an event from more than one side. Heists connect preparation and execution in a series of shared confrontations. Outside those scenes, varied activities let you maintain a different pace from the main missions.
The PlayStation 4 edition represents the expanded console version from 2014. First person changed more than the camera and received its own animations and control choices. GTA Online was part of the original offering, but network features can change and are not promised here as permanent. Later PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S enhancements are not automatically part of this standard release either.
