Platforms

Rockstar has confirmed that GTA VI supports the DualSense controller's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers on PS5, making it the first game in the series to use these features.
PC
Rockstar has not announced a PC version of GTA VI. This is consistent with Rockstar's historical release pattern: GTA V launched on PC 18 months after console, Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC 13 months after console. A PC version is widely expected but entirely unconfirmed. Full PC coverage.
PS4 and previous generation
Rockstar has not announced a PS4, Xbox One, or Nintendo Switch version of GTA VI. Given the game's scope and the technical limitations of last-generation hardware, a PS4 or Xbox One version is unlikely. GTA Online will remain playable on PS4 and Xbox One separately.
Crossplay
Rockstar has not announced any crossplay or cross-platform features for GTA VI. Crossplay between PS5 and Xbox Series X|S is technically feasible and common in modern AAA releases, but Rockstar has made no statement.

Rockstar describes this as the largest and most immersive open-world map they have ever created. No official map dimensions or fast-travel details have been published.
Story
Rockstar describes GTA VI as a single-player experience starring Jason and Lucia in a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde narrative.

Rockstar has not released specific story details beyond the trailer footage. Full story page.

DualSense support

Third-party PS5 controllers cannot replicate these features.
