Community Reports
Several reports discuss the performance and pricing of consoles for playing GTA 6. According to PCMag UK, the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are roughly equivalent in power, so major performance differences are not a concern for gamers choosing between the two systems.
Current pricing for a PlayStation 5 with 1TB of storage is $649.99, while an equivalent Xbox Series X costs $799.99. The all-digital PS5, which lacks a disc drive, is priced at $599.99, with its Xbox counterpart at $749.99.
The economic landscape has led to price increases for consoles, with manufacturers raising prices rather than lowering them. This trend may continue, especially as holiday sales approach, with expectations of high demand for GTA 6.
What This Means
As GTA 6 is primarily advertised as a PlayStation 5 title, potential buyers may lean towards Sony's console. However, with both platforms offering similar performance, the decision may ultimately come down to pricing and availability.
The digital-only release of GTA 6 may also influence consumer choices, making the cheaper digital consoles more appealing.
