It may be just us, but we have the feeling that the PS5 has just arrived. Perhaps because it was not available in the first few years, or perhaps because the corona period was a black hole in the space-time continuum in terms of time perception. Yet it has been there since 2020 and Sony announced this week that the PS5 is entering the 'final phase of its life cycle'. Should we buy a PS6 for that? GTA6?
According to Bloomberg Sales of the PlayStation 5 are disappointing. Sony wanted to sell 25 million copies, but the counter was stuck at 21 million. Even the introduction of the thinner PS5 Slim could not give the sales figures the necessary boost. Sony says it expects console sales to drop even further next fiscal year.
What does this mean for GTA 6?
Then the current one GTA was released, no one expected it to be released for the PS5. It is clear that developer Rockstar is in little hurry with a new game. But you don't have to worry about your PlayStation 5 being outdated when GTA 6 finally appears and you have to invest 500 euros or more in a new console.
For starters, Rockstar has already announced that the game will be coming to the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X and Series S. You don't have to speculate about that anymore. And the PS5 won't just disappear: the PS3 and PS4 have lasted seven years. If the strategy is not suddenly radically different, the PS6 will not arrive until 2027 or 2028 – and GTA 6 coming as early as 2025.
Will there be a PS5 Pro first?
There is a good chance that Sony will first release a Playstation 5 Pro. According to Insider Gaming The upgraded version of the PS5 could even arrive sometime in September this year. This would not be illogical, because according to rumors, Microsoft and Nintendo will release updated versions of their consoles. So don't worry about it for now GTA 6.
