With less than a year left for GTA 6 to release, one of the most important questions that still needs to be answered is, where can you even play the game on? So we thought, why not discuss this in a detailed way, while listing all the platforms that the game has been confirmed to release on. Along with that, we’ll also discuss about some of the rumored platforms that the GTA 6 could be released on. So let’s check them out in detail!
GTA 6 Confirmed Platforms
First of all, it is important to know about the confirmed platforms that GTA 6 is indeed coming out on! This list right here, includes the platforms which have been confirmed by Rockstar themselves, in their trailers. So without wasting much time left’s dive right in.
PlayStation 5
No surprises here, as the PlayStation 5 is indeed one of the confirmed platforms to be getting GTA 6. Rumors suggest that the PlayStation 5 has been the lead console during development for the game. The news came after it was confirmed that the entire Trailer 2, had been captured on the Base PlayStation 5, which has hyped up gamers ever since!
If you’re into the PlayStation ecosystem, then chances are you’d also be aware of the PlayStation 5 Pro! A bit more powerful to the regular console, experts have noted that GTA 6 will indeed be taking use of the extra power, to deliver a better experience. However, it is important to note that the game will be running at 30fps on both these consoles.
The reasoning behind it seems to be the heavy utilization of Ray-Traced Global Illumination. Experts suggested that the CPU on both the Base PS5 and the PS5 Pro, will struggle to keep up with the game at 60fps. But nonetheless, another rumor which has been going around suggests that PlayStation is likely working with Rockstar for a Marketing Deal on GTA 6. So chances are, we might see a PlayStation 5 and GTA 6 Bundle next year!
Xbox Series X|S
Aside from PlayStation, the only other console which will be seeing GTA 6 on release are the Xbox Series X and Series S. Given how similar both the Xbox Series X and the base PlayStation 5 perform, when up against each other, chances are both gamers might get a similar experience. However, there is a slight caveat on the Xbox side.
In case, you’re going to be play GTA 6 on the Series S, then you might want to lower your expectations. From what experts have suggested so far, the Xbox Series S will have troubles keeping up with it’s big brother, the Series X. Given the much lower power of the console, experts have suggested that graphical sacrifices will have to be made.
A big sacrifice will come on the resolution, as experts suggest the game will most likely run at 720P on the console. But nonetheless, the game is indeed coming to the Series S, as Take-Two’s CEO has confirmed that their engineers will work on it, in an interview. It’ll be interesting to see, how well the game can run on the cheapest next-gen console!
What About The PS4 and Xbox One?
If you’re still playing games on your old PlayStation 4 or Xbox One consoles, I hate to break it up to you, but both these consoles will not be getting GTA 6. Rockstar officially confirmed this back when Trailer 1 for GTA 6 was released. However, the new Trailer 2 has pretty much confirmed, that GTA 6 will not be able to run on the last-gen consoles.
While the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One have had a ton of great games throughout their lifespan, it is the best time to upgrade to either the PlayStation 5 or the Xbox Series X|S. Not only will you be able to play GTA 6, on the release date itself, however, with the improvements made, the gaming and the overall experience will be much better.
GTA 6 PC Release Date
If you’re a hardcore PC gamer, then you are only left with two options! You could either wait for about a year, or more, for GTA 6 to release on the PC. Or, the better option would be to purchase a secondary gaming device, like the PlayStation 5.
