Will GTA 6 Release on PS4?

No, GTA 6 will not be releasing on PS4. It’s unfortunate news for those still using older consoles, but not too much of a surprise.

Given how expansive and ambitious GTA 6 seems to be from its trailer, there’s a good chance it couldn’t run on PS4 in the first place. From beaches packed with NPCs to bustling highways, it’ll no doubt push the PS5 to its limits, let alone its predecessor.

On top of that, if GTA 6 hits its estimated 2025 release window, we’ll be 12 years out from the PS4’s original release. By that point, it’s hard to imagine the hardware would be able to keep up with the demands of Rockstar’s latest project.

Even beyond the speculation, Rockstar itself has already confirmed that GTA 6 will bypass older consoles. In a press release from its parent company, Take-Two Interactive, it confirmed the game solely for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. Unless there’s a dramatic (and highly unlikely) U-turn, that’s all the confirmation we need.

If you’re a GTA fan still using PS4 and want to play the latest entry, you’ve got at least a year to get your hands on a PS5. That’s because there’s practically no way Rockstar will backtrack and publish the game on previous-gen consoles.

That’s all we know about GTA 6 releasing on PS4 right now. For more on the game, check out if it’s coming to PC, plus everything we know based on the reveal trailer. You can also read the articles below to learn more about GTA 6.
