GTA 6 is officially coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. If you can only choose one, which should you pick? The honest answer is that the game should be playable on both, so your decision comes down to everything around it.
Hardware Differences
The PS5 and Xbox Series X are both powerful machines with fast SSD storage. The Xbox Series S is a smaller, cheaper console with less raw power. Rockstar has not confirmed exact resolution or frame rate targets for each model, so avoid trusting claims that say otherwise.
Controllers
The PS5 DualSense offers adaptive triggers and haptic feedback that some games use for driving and shooting. The Xbox controller is well loved for its comfortable shape and long battery life when using AA batteries. Neither is a wrong choice, so pick the one you enjoy holding.
Subscriptions and Online Play
Online play on both platforms generally requires a paid subscription, while single-player does not. If you plan to play GTA Online-style modes, check the current subscription prices for your region.
Your Friends Matter
The biggest factor for many players is where their friends are. If your group is on PlayStation, joining them will matter more than any small technical difference.
Existing Library and Storage
If you already own one console, the cheapest option is to play the game there. Consider the cost of extra storage too, as large games fill drives quickly.
Verdict
Choose the console you already own or the one your friends use. Both platforms are officially supported, and the experience should be strong on either. Wait for official technical details from Rockstar before making an expensive purchase based on rumors.
