Confirmed platforms
PlayStation 5
GTA VI is confirmed for PlayStation 5, including the standard PS5, PS5 Slim, and PS5 Pro models. PlayStation lists support for the DualSense controller’s haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, and Rockstar has not published a list of specific effects. It is not new to the series: Grand Theft Auto V has used both on PS5 since its March 15, 2022 release on the console.
PlayStation’s US product page lists GTA VI as PS5 Pro Enhanced and names four more PS5 features: Tempest 3D Audio, fast loading from the console’s SSD, DualSense adaptive triggers, and effects through the DualSense integrated speaker. Rockstar’s August 2026 Extended Look was captured in-game on PS5, and its YouTube description adds that the game “plays best on PlayStation 5.” Read that as marketing language attached to a real partnership rather than a technical comparison Rockstar has published.

Xbox Series X|S
GTA VI is confirmed for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, launching the same day as the PS5 version with no timed exclusivity period. Rockstar has not published resolution or frame-rate targets for either Xbox model, and there is no Xbox equivalent of PlayStation’s feature page — so any specific Series X or Series S performance figure you see is an estimate, not a Rockstar statement. At the platform level, Xbox supports Windows Sonic and Dolby Atmos for spatial audio through any compatible headset or home theater setup.

Unconfirmed platforms
PC
Rockstar has not announced a PC version of GTA VI. There are no official system requirements, no Steam or Epic Games Store listing, and no release window. This is consistent with Rockstar's historical release pattern: GTA V launched on PC 18 months after the console version, and Red Dead Redemption 2 launched 13 months after console. A PC version is widely expected but entirely unconfirmed.
See our dedicated PC status page for the latest on a potential PC release including historical analysis and what to expect.
PS4 and Xbox One
Rockstar has not announced a PS4 or Xbox One version of GTA VI. While GTA V was released on PS3 and Xbox 360 and later ported to PS4 and Xbox One, that was a cross-generational release. GTA VI is being built exclusively for current-generation hardware. Given the game's scope, map size, and visual fidelity shown in the official trailers, a PS4 or Xbox One version is technically unlikely.
GTA Online will remain playable on PS4 and Xbox One separately, but the single-player GTA VI campaign is expected to be current-gen only. For the full details on PS4 status, see our PS4 compatibility page.
Nintendo Switch and Switch 2
Rockstar has not announced any Nintendo platform version of GTA VI. Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Switch 2 are not confirmed platforms. There is no evidence or official statement suggesting GTA VI will come to any Nintendo console.
Crossplay and cross-platform
Rockstar has not announced crossplay or cross-platform features for GTA VI. Cross-platform play between PS5 and Xbox Series X|S is technically feasible and has become standard in modern AAA releases, but Rockstar has not confirmed any crossplay functionality. Crossplay with PC would depend entirely on when or if a PC version is announced. For more details, see our crossplay status page.
Console-specific features
PS5 DualSense support
Rockstar has confirmed that GTA VI supports the DualSense controller's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers on PS5. This is the first game in the GTA series to use these features. The DualSense Edge retains full support as a Sony first-party product. Third-party PS5 controllers cannot replicate these features.
Xbox Smart Delivery
Rockstar has not confirmed whether GTA VI will support Xbox Smart Delivery (which lets you buy once and play on both Series X and Series S with the appropriate version). Given that Smart Delivery is standard for first-party and most major third-party Xbox releases, it is likely but not confirmed.
Which platform should you choose?
Both PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions of GTA VI launch on the same day with the same content. The key differences come down to:
- Controller — PS5 offers DualSense haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, which Rockstar has confirmed GTA VI supports. Xbox relies on standard rumble. If controller immersion matters, PS5 has the edge.
- Console models — Xbox offers two price points (Series X at $499, Series S at $299). PS5 offers the standard model, a Slim version, and the premium PS5 Pro. Our console buying guide breaks down the trade-offs.
- Ecosystem — Your existing library, friends list, and subscription service (PlayStation Plus vs Xbox Game Pass) may be the deciding factor.
