If you’ve been eagerly waiting for GTA 6, here’s something important you need to know.

The game is set to launch only on the latest consoles, like the PS5, PS5 Digital Edition, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S. That means if you’re still holding onto an older console, you might be out of luck when it comes to playing the newest game in the series.

But there’s a catch. Some experts are worried that releasing GTA 6 on all these different consoles at the same time could actually mess with the game’s performance.

The Xbox Series S, for instance, is cheaper because it has less power compared to the other consoles. Its GPU (which helps with graphics) is not as strong—just 4 teraflops (TF) compared to 12TF in the Series X and 10.28TF in the PS5. This means it can’t handle as much as the more expensive models.

The Xbox Series S also has less RAM, which is like the console’s short-term memory that helps it run games smoothly.

While the PS5 has 12.5GB and the Series X has 13GB, the Series S only has 8GB. Because of this, the Series S might struggle more to keep up with the demands of GTA 6, making the game run slower or look less sharp.


What This Means for the Game’s Look and Feel

Due to these limitations, some experts think GTA 6 might only be able to run at 720p resolution on the Xbox Series S, which is lower quality compared to what you might expect on the other consoles.

John Linneman from Digital Foundry suggests that if the game includes fancy effects like Ray Tracing (a technique that makes lighting and shadows look super realistic), the Series S might not handle it well.

Ray Tracing is pretty demanding, and it could be tough for the Series S to keep up, which might mean the game won’t look as good or might run slower on that console.

Some players are worried that making sure GTA 6 works on the Series S could take away from how amazing the game could be on more powerful consoles.


Player Reactions

Fans of the game are already talking about this online, and some of them aren’t too happy.

They’re concerned that trying to make GTA 6 run on the less powerful Series S could end up lowering the quality of the game for everyone.

One player even said, “Sure the game will run, but the real question is whether it can keep up a steady framerate, or if it’ll get choppy when things get busy on-screen.”

Others are worried that developers might have to cut corners to make the game work on the Series S, which could mean less time spent optimizing it for the more powerful consoles.


Why Should We Wait?

There’s also been a lot of talk about how long it’s taking to hear more about GTA 6. It’s been almost 270 days since Rockstar Games dropped the first trailer, and fans are getting impatient. Some are even worried that the game might be delayed, possibly because of issues with remote work and returning to the office.

Rumors suggest that while the game is still set for a late 2025 release, it could get pushed to 2026 if things don’t go as planned.


What About Other GTA Projects?

While we’re waiting for more news about GTA 6, it looks like another GTA project is on hold. Meta (formerly Facebook) was working with Rockstar Games on a Virtual Reality (VR) version of GTA: San Andreas.

But now, it seems like that project is paused indefinitely, meaning it might not come out anytime soon, if at all.

So, for now, all eyes are on GTA 6. With the hype building and so many questions still unanswered, it’s clear that when this game finally drops, it’s going to be a massive event in the gaming world. Just make sure you’ve got the right console to play it!
