The excitement for the next Grand Theft Auto game is at an all-time high. Following the release of Grand Theft Auto 6's official teaser trailer, which came after it was leaked online, a smorgasbord of new information has flooded the internet, including the fact that it's coming out on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X in 2025, possibly on April Fool's Day two years from now.
And, while PC gamers may feel disappointed that Rockstar is telling them to kick rocks in the meantime again, the majority of fans who watched the trailer are salivating at the possibility of playing GTA 6 on one of the worst-kept secrets in the gaming industry.
Alex Smith, a developer with prior experience at the Sony-owned Bend Studio as well as Deviation Games and Ember Lab, has indicated that PlayStation has secured marketing rights for GTA 6. This is a strategic marketing partnership, which means the game isn't exclusive to PS5. However, it does imply a marketing focus on the PS5 version of GTA 6, paving the way for potential cross-promotions between Sony and developer Rockstar.
Smith's insights, along with the potential release of a mid-cycle refresh in late 2024, hint at a potential PS5 Pro bundle that would include the new console and a copy of GTA VI. This combination could be a game-changer in the market, given the anticipated high demand for the PS5 Pro and the predicted success of GTA 6.
