GTA VI Release: Bad News for Sony PlayStation Gamers
Sony PlayStation gamers may be disappointed to learn that not all models will support the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) game. While PlayStation and Xbox owners can look forward to the latest installment of the popular GTA franchise next year, it seems that nearly half of the PS users may miss out on the support.
According to video journalist Stephen Totilo, Sony has revealed that out of the 118 monthly active users of PlayStation, approximately 50% are still utilizing PS 4 consoles. Unfortunately for them, GTA VI will only be available on the PS 5, Xbox Series X/S, and the rumored PS 5 Pro.
This poses a problem for PS 4 users, as their consoles lack the necessary hardware to run GTA VI. In order to enjoy the game, these customers will need to upgrade their consoles. This news may come as a disappointment to many loyal PlayStation gamers who were eagerly awaiting the release of GTA VI.
Although the parent company of Rockstar Games, Take-Two Interactive, has confirmed a Fall 2025 release for GTA VI, the specific timeline for the PC release is yet to be determined. The CEO of Take-Two, Strauss Zelnick, stated that they expect to deliver significant net bookings for GTA VI in the fiscal year 2025.
Last year, Rockstar Games unveiled a much-anticipated trailer for GTA VI on their official YouTube channel. The trailer introduced Lucia, the game’s first female protagonist, in a prison setting. As the trailer progresses, Lucia and her boyfriend embark on Bonnie and Clyde-style heists, offering a glimpse of the immersive world of Vice City.
While the impending release of GTA VI is undoubtedly exciting, the limitations for PS 4 users may dampen the enthusiasm among PlayStation fans. Nevertheless, the promise of an immersive evolution of the GTA series awaits those with compatible consoles.
