Like most of the Internet, we can't wait for the sixth Grand Theft Auto. The trailer may have dropped sooner than expected, but it didn't share much about the game's plans for launch. In this guide, we'll reveal if GTA 6 is a PS5 exclusive.

Filled with Easter eggs and featuring graphics that GTA 5 could only dream of, it's fair to say that GTA 6 is a next-gen game. Recent titles like Spider-Man 2 have been exclusive to the PS5, so gamers might be worrying that GTA 6 will follow in its footsteps.

For more GTA 6, you should dig into our latest news coverage. We found that people don't care for the game's male protagonist, covered the developers' reactions to the trailer leaking, and found that the leaker may be a child.

Is Grand Theft Auto 6 a PlayStation 5 exclusive?

No, GTA 6 is not exclusive to the PlayStation 5.

While the trailer didn't share this information outright, we found the game's launch plans via the official Rockstar newswire. GTA fans eager to learn where they can get their hands on the game should look no further.

To sum up the newswire's information, we learned that GTA 6 promises to be the 'biggest, most immersive evolution of the Grand Theft Auto series yet.' The game will launch on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S in 2025, with no specific launch date set.

We also learned that GTA 6 is exclusive to next-gen consoles (Sorry, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One gamers), with no news of a PC or Nintendo Switch port at the time of writing. It took a few years for GTA 5 to make the jump from consoles to PC, so anyone looking to play on day one will need to shell out for a next-gen console.

Assuming Sony doesn't strike up a deal, that's the latest information on GTA 6's status as a PlayStation 5 exclusive. Before you go, find out why the game isn't launching on PC and read up on everything we learned from the first trailer.
