GTA 6 Wont Launch on PS4 and Xbox One Heres What You Need to Know

The highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) might be out of reach for millions of gamers when it launches in 2025. After waiting more than a decade since the last installment, fans are eager, but many might be disappointed as their current consoles won’t make the cut.

GTA 6 will only be available on the latest generation consoles, namely the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Gamers who have stuck with their PS4 and Xbox One for years will unfortunately be left out. The technological advancements needed to do justice to the game’s massive open world means that older consoles simply won’t keep up.

GTA 6 Will Launch Exclusively on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S

Rockstar Games has confirmed that GTA 6 will be released exclusively on the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S in 2025. With the PS4 and Xbox One first hitting the market back in 2013, these older systems just can’t handle the technical demands of the new game. With cutting-edge graphics and a gigantic open world, these older consoles would face significant lag and even crashes if they tried to run it.

Owners of the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, however, are in for a treat. These consoles are built to handle sprawling, detailed worlds, ensuring a seamless GTA 6 experience. PC gamers will need a bit more patience before they can dive into this much-anticipated title.

Sure, it’s a bummer for users of older consoles, but this move clearly shows Rockstar’s commitment to pushing technical boundaries and delivering an unparalleled gaming experience.
