Briefing Platform Published New
Can you play GTA VI on PS4, Xbox One or Series S?
No PS4 or Xbox One version: GTA VI is listed for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only. The Xbox Series S is included, since it's part of that family, but Rockstar hasn't said how it runs. Analysts expect a lower resolution than PS5 and Series X, possibly around 720p, at the same 30 frames per second.
GTA VI is a current-generation game only, and that matters for anyone still on a PS4 or an Xbox One.
Verdict: Confirmed: GTA VI is for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only; there's no PS4 or Xbox One version. Inference, High confidence: it runs at 30 frames per second on PS5 and Series X|S. Speculation, Low confidence: the Series S runs it at a lower resolution, possibly around 720p.
Is GTA VI on PS4?
No. The PlayStation Store lists GTA VI for PS5 only, and Rockstar has only ever announced PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions. A PS4 can't play it.
Is GTA VI on Xbox One?
No. The Xbox Store lists it for Xbox Series X|S. The fake 676.7 GB screenshot that went viral said "Xbox One", which is one of the ways people spotted it was fake.
Does GTA VI work on Xbox Series S?
Yes. The Xbox Store lists GTA VI for Xbox Series X|S, the family that includes the cheaper, less powerful Series S.
How will GTA VI run on Series S?
Nobody outside Rockstar knows. Digital Foundry's analysts have suggested, from the trailers, that the Series S could run it around 720p, with ray-traced reflections cut, because it has less memory than PS5 and Series X. That's an expectation, not a measurement. On base PS5, Digital Foundry measured the Extended Look at 1440p and a stable 30 frames per second, and 30 is the expected target on every console.
What about PS5 Pro?
The PlayStation Store lists GTA VI as PS5 Pro Enhanced, but nobody has said what the enhancement is.
What changes this: Rockstar publishing per-platform specs, or analysis of the Series S version at launch.
