'GTA 6' on PS5 vs Xbox: Key differences to consider
As the release of Grand Theft Auto VI approaches, gamers are weighing the benefits of playing on PlayStation 5 versus Xbox Series consoles. While Sony claims the game plays best on PS5, technical details remain limited ahead of the November 19 launch.
Why it matters
GTA 6 is one of the most anticipated entertainment releases of the decade, and hardware choice impacts the consumer experience for millions of players.
Grand Theft Auto VI launches on Nov. 19 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles. As far as anyone knows, it could be years before there's a PC version of the hotly anticipated open-world crime game (fortunately, we don't think it will take that long). But if you want to play the game right away, then it's time for you to figure out which version to buy.After pre-orders opened, IGN reported that PS5 versions of the game were outselling Xbox at an eight-to-one ratio. Microsoft denied these numbers, of course, but if IGN's readers are representative of gamers as a whole, then players are certainly leaning in a very clear direction.So, should you play GTA 6 on PS5 or Xbox? There are a lot of variables that make this a difficult question to answer. That said, we're going to do our best.
