GTA VI launches 19 November on PS5 (including PS5 Pro) and Xbox Series X|S. It's not coming to PS4 or Xbox One. PlayStation · Xbox

What's actually been said about platforms

  • Rockstar's GTA VI page carries a "Plays Best On PlayStation 5" badge, and PlayStation says it has more on PS benefits at playstation.com/GTAVIfeatures. Rockstar
  • The Extended Look and the Launch Trailer were both captured on PS5. TechRadar reported the Extended Look footage was from a base PS5. The Verge · TechRadar · GameSpot
  • Rockstar hasn't published resolution or frame-rate targets for any console, so ignore anyone quoting "confirmed 60fps" without a source.
  • Codes: PlayStation codes are region-locked, Xbox codes aren't. Rockstar Support

Things we're curious about

  • Series S owners: how confident are you about performance? It's officially supported, but we haven't seen footage from it.
  • PS5 Pro owners: did GTA VI factor into buying one?
  • Anyone upgrading their TV or storage for launch? What are you going for?

Series X. Controllers last longer when the heists get spicy.

PS5. Easier to keep notes open on the second screen for regions.

PS5 Pro if the queue behaves. Cars look better with the extra polish.

PS5. Same box as the rest of the UK launch window.
