PS5 vs Xbox for GTA 6: which should you buy?
Short answer: if you are buying a console just for GTA 6, the PS5 Slim Digital is the best value. Sony says GTA 6 uses the DualSense controller's haptics, and the boxed game is a download code, so the disc drive adds nothing.

Quick picks
PlayStation
PlayStation 5 Slim (Disc)
The standard PS5. The disc drive only matters for other games, since GTA 6 ships as a code.
PlayStation
- 1TB storage
- Disc drive included
- Runs GTA 6 natively
- $50 more than Digital with no GTA 6 benefit
PlayStation 5 Pro
The most powerful console for GTA 6. Rockstar has not detailed Pro-specific modes yet, so expect sharper visuals, not a promised frame rate.
PlayStation
- 2TB storage

- Most expensive console, and no disc drive included

Xbox Series X (1TB)

Xbox
- 1TB storage
- Digital only
- Lower resolution than Series X
- Lower resolution than Series X
Xbox Series S (512GB)
The lowest price, but GTA 6 would fill more than half the drive. Only buy it with an expansion card.

How they compare
Price: after 2026 increases, the PS5 Slim Digital lists at $599.99, the PS5 Pro at $899.99, the Xbox Series X at $749 and the Series S at $449 (512GB) or $549 (1TB).
Performance: the PS5 Pro is the most powerful. Rockstar has not confirmed Pro-specific settings, so treat any 60fps claim as unconfirmed.
Storage: GTA 6 is reported at about 210GB on PS5. Skip the 512GB Series S unless you add an expansion card.
Friends: buy the console your friends play on. GTA Online-style multiplayer is still split by platform family.
