GTA 6 platforms: PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S only

GTA 6 is coming to two platforms: PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar lists them in all of the game’s official materials.

Digital and physical versions

You can pre-order the digital version and pre-load it from November 12. The physical edition is a box with a download code inside. It also goes on sale November 12, so there’s time to download the game before launch.

How much storage to free up before pre-loading is covered in How big is GTA 6?.

Frame rate

On consoles, the game currently runs at 30 frames per second, as Rob Nelson, co-studio head at Rockstar North, confirmed. The studio hasn’t decided whether there will be a performance mode with a higher frame rate. The Extended Look was captured on a standard PS5, not a PS5 Pro.

Every model runs it: see GTA 6 on PS5 Slim and Digital Edition and GTA 6 on Xbox Series S.

Why there are no PS4 or Xbox One versions

Rockstar hasn’t explained why it skipped the previous console generation. The likely reason is technical: PS5 and Xbox Series X|S have SSDs and much more powerful processors, which makes a game of this scale easier to build for them. That’s our editorial assessment.
