Since Grand Theft Auto 5 (GTA 5) was published, Microsoft Xbox and PlayStation have released two generations of platforms, leaving fans asking if GTA 6 would be accessible not just for current-gen consoles but also for Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
The absence of official information also covers whether GTA 6 will be released on PS4 and Xbox One. Still, there has been insider information on the matter, and we may draw some inferences about whether the game will be released on previous-generation platforms.
Will GTA 6 Be on PS4?
Grand Theft Auto fans were ecstatic this week to learn that a GTA 6 teaser will be released in early December. The publisher was less open about a release date, but gamers may cross their fingers for a quick turnaround after seeing the clip.
This update came more than a year after news of a source code breach was confirmed as the result of a “network intrusion” on Rockstar Games. We don’t yet know the “when” of GTA 6, but what about the accessible platforms? PC may be the best option, but if you want to play the game on a PS4, you’re out of luck. It isn’t easy to believe that this game will be released on a 10-year-old platform, especially if the trailer appears far before the game’s actual release date.
In other words, be ready to play this impending PS5 release. While there is no official word on platforms from Rockstar Games yet, the talk on the GTA 6 subreddit suggests that this is what people are planning for, and Sony will definitely not want the game toned down only to function on the lesser CPUs of a PS4.
Indeed, word of the teaser may encourage some extra PS5 sales over the holidays. That’s a better long game than releasing the game on PS4 to sell a few additional copies shortly before GTA 6. Granted, there aren’t many PS5-exclusive games yet, but with a release as anticipated as GTA 6, it seems probable that PS5 will be the starting point.
In addition, a GTA TV series (which has been hat-tipped by 50 Cent) is in the works. Vice City will be readied for Paramount+ by Paramount and Lionsgate, so stay tuned for additional updates.

Rockstar Has Shifted to Next-generation Systems
Another sign that GTA 6 will not be launched for the PS4 and Xbox One is that the firm has already released material for the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles and is moving on to the next-generation systems. In 2022, the GTA 5 remaster on the Xbox Series X/S was published.
GTA 5 Expanded & Enhanced was released only for Xbox Series X/S and PS5 and featured not only improved visuals but also new content. This also suggests that Rockstar is prepared to abandon prior systems when releasing new content.
