- In a recent podcast appearance, Jason Schreier suggested that PS5 is the “main platform” for GTA 6.
- A majority of the game’s sales are bound to be on PlayStation, while its release will also result in millions of PS5 purchases.
- The industry insider also suggested that Sony could be planning its entire calendar around GTA.
The thought of GTA 6 being a console exclusive is earth-shattering enough to draw PC gamers away from their ivory thrones and meddle with the console commonfolk, but imagine if Rockstar was polishing and priming its upcoming juggernaut for one specific platform? That would, of course, result in an unfathomable number of hardware sales while also raising panic alarms at the platforms that lost out.

Aside from this, the veteran journalist also mentioned just how important the PS5 is for GTA 6: “Xbox is almost a non-factor, I’m sure they’ll sell millions on Xbox, but PlayStation is the main platform, so its almost, in some ways, kind of like a PlayStation Exclusive, that most of the sales will be on PlayStation and it will sell a lot of PlayStation 5s alongside it. So I suspect that Sony is planning its entire calendar around GTA and will not release anything within the blast zone.”
As we reported last summer, the leak suggested that a supposed marketing deal between PlayStation and Rockstar is allowing for the implementation of new tech, which will let the PS5 Pro run GTA 6 at 60 FPS on launch. Additionally, the game could even support multiple graphics options, a luxury reserved solely for Sony’s latest console.
Be that as it may, the game’s associations with PlayStation spell further misery for Xbox. Team Green is currently in the process of the messiest transition to a third-party publisher in gaming history. Their messaging on console hardware is cryptic at best and depressing at worst, so seeing its boxes being slidelined for Sony’s has caused even more distress among Xbox fans online. In case you needed any reminding, folks – the console wars are finito.
