According to the report, GTA 6 or Grand Theft Auto 6 will directly launch on new-gen consoles and skip last-gen consoles; PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, excluding players who have not yet shifted to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. In February 2022, Rockstar Games confirmed that GTA 6 was already under development saying that they are trying to significantly move beyond and deliver more than the previous tiles.
Although most players will likely have made their shift by the time Grand Theft Auto 6 releases some time in 2025, there is a large chunk of the player base that will still be left stranded due to this one move from developers and they might need to loosen their pockets for new consoles to play the game.
