Will GTA 6 Be on PS4? Or Is Your Console About to Retire for Good?

It's been a prolonged wait, and we might have to wait for another whole year before we get our hands on GTA 6. Rockstar confirmed development was “well underway” for the masterpiece on February 4, 2022. However, we're yet to see the final take of the “well underway” process. Besides, you don't have to worry much, as this isn't another generic article about how Rockstar is delaying their upcoming masterpiece.

Rather, we will try to answer a burning question among several gamers: Will GTA 6 be on PS4? According to Rockstar, GTA 6 has been confirmed for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. However, history has witnessed the arrival of GTA V on all consoles. That said, this article will explore whether GTA 6 will be on PS4 and other old-gen consoles, or users might have to say goodbye to those systems for good.

Will GTA 6 Be On PS4?

Unfortunately, GTA 6 will not be available on PS4 for now. As discussed earlier, Rockstar Games has confirmed that their upcoming masterpiece will be available exclusively on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. On the other hand, a PC version is yet to be confirmed. However, considering Rockstar's early trends, it's safe to say that it'll land on the platform eventually. For context, GTA V arrived on PC after 18 months post the title's console release.

To address the elephant in the room, we think Rockstar won't let PS4 users enjoy their upcoming creation, GTA 6. There might be some doubt, and old-gen console users could argue that if the title can run on a low-powered console like the Xbox Series S, it should be possible for PlayStation users as well.

Can the PS4 Support GTA 6?

Before debating will GTA 6 be on PS4, we must consider whether the old-gen console can run the title or not. Fans online have already started a massive debate about it, and no wonder you can find thousands of threads about this on your favourite social media platform. However, there's one common theory that has been the talk of the town since the announcement.

Digital Foundry, a renowned website specialising in games and hardware analysis, made a report after the recent GTA 6 trailer. According to them and most tech-savvy netizens, the title will reportedly be capped at 30FPS to run on PS5. However, there's a possibility that PS5 Pro can run the title at 60 FPS. And rightly so, the release for old-gen consoles is likely to be out of the question for now.

GTA 6 PS4 Release: Final Verdict

Rockstar's track for its previous title, GTA V, was really smooth. Initially, the title was released in September 2013 for PS3 and Xbox 360. Later in November 2014, it was released for PS4 and Xbox One. Later in March 2022, it was released for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Regardless, it was a different track altogether for the company, as they had already released the title for low-end systems. All they had to do was upgrade the in-game systems a little bit to run it in the upgraded system. However, this time, the requirement seems so heavy that one can't think about releasing GTA 6 on old-generation consoles.

On the other hand, we all know that the GTA series games have always been a “money-making machine”, especially GTA V. Even after 13 years after its release, it's racking up sales in different parts of the world. And it's quite evident that in 2025, the PS5 playerbase has surely surpassed the PS4 audience. As a result, targeting the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S market should be the obvious move for the company to earn more profit. Regardless, it's safe to say that once the release of both new-gen PlayStation and Xbox consoles is confirmed, PC should be the next priority. However, we'll make sure to give our readers an update if we see any news on the GTA 6 PS4 release.
